Astrogator

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fictional term. Might belong in wiktionary but it fails at being an encyclopedic article due to failures of WP:GNG. Sure, it is used in a number of works, but outside making a "list of books and other media that use the term astrogator" there is is little to work with, and such a list would fail WP:LISTN anyway. I am not sure if there is any valid redirect target (Interstellar travel?) Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 09:35, 29 November 2019 (UTC)

 * Merge An astrogator does not necessarily involve interstellar travel, but Technology in science fiction could be an adequate merge target. That article needs some heavy cleanup.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 11:02, 29 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Merge to navigator as a better(?) fit than the other two redirect targets suggested. Clarityfiend (talk) 00:00, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
 * You're right, that is better. I have created a section at Navigator as a merge target that can be used.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 12:06, 30 November 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Redirect - Currently just a dictionary term without analysis. Redirecting to the above seems fine. TTN (talk) 12:41, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Navigator sounds fine. – sgeureka t•c 13:11, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Navigator - although I remember reading those stories in Campbell's anthologies which were later published by the SFBC. And Starman Jones sits on my nightstand, don't know how many times I've re-read that.   Onel 5969  TT me 15:11, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
