Battlestar Galactica terminology

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

Prodded and prod2ed -- with a last-minute removal. Oh, well. Anyhow, this wholly fails several policies and guidelines: WP:OR (interpretation of what some of these terms mean), WP:IINFO (are these terms used exclusively in the fictional world? what about the terms that also show up in the real world? it's a mix!), WP:DICT (it's all a bunch of definitions), WP:RS (there are no citations to any sources, reliable or otherwise). --EEMIV (talk) 13:20, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - Blatantly obvious fancruft. Let them dump this stuff over at Wikia or private wikis where it belongs. &#9775; Zenwhat (talk) 16:28, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. The topic here (the particular fictional language of BG) just isn't notable. BG isn't that closely examined in any sort of independent published sources. The rest is trivial dictdeffiness. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire - past ops) 22:05, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete: Much as I love the show, this is unsourced OR fancruft. Jo7hs2 (talk) 23:59, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge those parts of it where there is something to merge. As a separate page, it's just a collection of miscellaneous. DGG (talk) 02:40, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge for all it's problems, it is a useful resource. I'm watching the series and NOT an fan, so I don't know what these terms are.  You have a page for BG objects, why can it not be extended to include verbs not used elsewhere? M-streeter97 (talk) 11:45, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge to Battlestar Galactica, where it has context.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 05:37, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Question for those proposing merge - While I agree a merge to the main BSG article or some such might provide context, can you address the issues this content faces in terms of WP:DICT, WP:RS, WP:OR, WP:IINFO? I don't see how moving this content diminishes any of these concerns. --EEMIV (talk) 10:43, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: Also, a good chunk of this terminology is already duplicated elsewhere, as it is existing military lingo.Jo7hs2 (talk) 11:59, 12 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Merge everything that is properly referenced to Battlestar Galactica. In other words, delete. Stifle (talk) 23:13, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
