Augment (Star Trek)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This article asserts zero notability through reliable sources, and is simply a repetition of plot elements from the various Star Trek episode articles plot sections in an in-universe way. It is therefore pure duplication and trivia, and should be deleted. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 05:53, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. No notability shown, and simply trivial information at best. Perhaps, transwiki it to a Star Trek wiki.RobJ1981 (talk) 06:36, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. No WP:RS evidence of notability cited or found in search. Article is a short version of the Memory Alpha wiki, pure plot summary. Worth at most a short entry in List of Star Trek races. • Gene93k (talk) 18:25, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. I don't have any sources, but the entire Augment plot line is an interesting one, showing up an important thematic aspect of Star Trek (i.e., that not all advanced technologies are unconditionally good).  I'd be very surprised to find out that there were no useful critical articles that could be used to augment (pun unintended) this article and bring it up to standard.

 * One minor source on the topic: . It only discusses Bashir, who is only mentioned in one sentence at the end of the article, but it is related to the theme of Augments. JulesH (talk) 21:23, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * It's only passing mention and it's not even about the group known as the "Augments" (the subject of the this article). At best, that source could potentially be used in the article for Bashir himself. Doctorfluffy (robe and wizard hat) 18:09, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Plot summary and in-universe detail without real-world content. Lack of significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject indicates this topic is non-notable. Doctorfluffy (robe and wizard hat) 18:09, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete -- No citations to multiple third-party secondary sources, which are required to establish notability. Article also is entirely plot summary. Star Trek's treatment of genetically altered characters has, I suspect, mostly garnered third-party attention focused on Khan; the class of characters as a whole, though, probably not. Furthermore, there's so much dubious retcon applying the "augment"s term to pre-Enterprise (the series, I mean) series/characters (e.g. Bashir, Khan) that the topic is a honeypot for original research. --EEMIV (talk) 11:51, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
