Battle of Wolf 359

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

This article asserts no notability through reliable sources, and is just a brief repetition of plot elements from a two part episode from Star Trek the Next Generation, and is totally duplicative. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 20:59, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep The article asserts notability by citing reliable sources. It provides a focus for this notable battle which had an impact in multiple works across the Star Trek canon and so does not duplicate any single one of them.  The article title is also a useful search term. Colonel Warden (talk) 21:27, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep Arguably, individual episodes are less important to our content on Star Trek, but they're not being nominated for deletion. Thus is much more important and more notable than any one episode. M1ss1ontomars2k4 (talk) 21:36, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, while I was expecting a fancrufty article, on reading it it seems to do a particularly good job of bringing together information from various reliable sources to provide an article that doesn't duplicate any of the individual episodes' articles. Certainly this is a notable part as far as Star Trek canon goes - seems OK to me. ~ mazca  talk 22:42, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, the article does have reliable sources and thus demonstrates notability. As above it is a key plot element in the Star Trek future history deserving of its own article. (I added an AFD template; the article had none.) --Dhartung | Talk 23:08, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Significant storyline event in the Star Trek franchise, which affected numerous films and TV series. Reputable sources cited. 23skidoo (talk) 23:41, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - Correction, there are no reliable sources demonstrated, and simply because its Star Trek doesn't make it inherently notable. It requires several reliable sources at least to establish notability, and this has done none. Also, episode article are definitely more notable than reference-less plot articles, but even they have to establish notability. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 00:50, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
