 * Redirect or Delete I originated the page and contributed most of the first three paragraphs. Since then it's grown into a messy list of examples.  I agree that it's not encyclopedic, and TV Tropes is really a more appropriate wiki.  --Elwood00 T 01:57, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Elwood00, as the creator of the page, do you know if any reliable sourcing exists for this term? If not, there is no alternative but to delete it. — Cactus Writer |   needles  22:27, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - Per Avoid Neoligisms -- the term is unsupported by any references, let alone reliable sources. The only usage of this phrase that I found in google searches, postdate and mirror this 2005 Wikipedia article. There is nothing in book searches. There is no reason to redirect a term whose only sourcing is created by the page itself. —  Cactus Writer |   needles  22:27, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep if anyone is prepared to rewrite it with sources. The term may not be ideal, but the concept is real enough & hardly limited to Start Trek.    DGG ( talk ) 01:35, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - a simplistic speculative original research. Xuz (talk) 14:40, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
