No reliable sources for plot-summary article about a character with no real-world notability. EEMeltonIV 10:01, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect to The Trouble With Tribbles. While I disagree with the nominator that this is a plot-summary article (there's only one sentence of plot in the article, which is appropriate for an article about a fictional character), this character is a very minor one in the Star Trek canon.  Looking in the history, an editor reverted a previous attempt to redirect this article to The Trouble With Tribbles article, with the explanation that the character has appeared in "four of the six Star Trek series".  This is, first of all, false, as it's only three of the six; it's also misleading because the appearance in DS9 was archive footage from the original episode.  Nonetheless, the character is associated only with tribbles and the two episodes in which they feature prominently.  Powers T 13:07, 23 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Redirect Doesn't merit his own article, probably doesn't even merit a redirect. How many people ask the question, "What WERE those fuzzy pink things that Cyrano Jones was selling?"  It's more like, "What was the name of the chubby guy in "The Trouble With Tribbles"?  Mandsford 01:42, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete- Article lacks reliable sources and out of universe information. Judgesurreal777 00:20, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete &mdash; It's just a redirect anyway. &mdash; Val42 03:02, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Errr . . . you undid the previous redirect, hence this AfD. --EEMeltonIV 03:20, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Did you notice the difference between what you did and what I did? You simply replaced the article with a redirect to The Trouble with Tribbles.  I merged what useful information was available in the article into another article (Tribble) then changed the redirect to that article, an article that covers all three appearances of Cyrano Jones rather than just his first. &mdash; Val42 05:23, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
