 * Delete Trekcruft, although note to nom: the bar for inclusion when it comes to Star Trek/Wars is microscopically, mind-blowingly low. Vivat vox populi. Eusebeus 00:24, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, excessively crufty. Alternatively redirect to The First Duty (TNG episode). -- Kinu  t /c  01:33, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect The First Duty (TNG episode) - no need to keep. SkierRMH 04:40, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
 * No change, who is and isn't "notable enough" is entirely subjective. If the idea was to limit Trek content to only the major characters, I'd say it's a little late for that because the toothpaste is already out of the tube and picking on poor Cadet Albert is rather arbitrary.Gotham23 20:58, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: Point noted, but Wikipedia is not Memory Alpha, and it's not Wikipedia's job to duplicate everything that can be found there or any of the other Sci-Fi wikis. This is a character who didn't even appear on screen. At best, the apocryphal information about him mentioned in the episode article is a reasonable compromise, per a redirect. -- Kinu t /c  07:55, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Note that we seem to have Nova Squadron (Star Trek), Kolvoord Starburst, and Yeager Loop articles, which are also one-shot concepts mentioned only in this show, and therefore are prime candidates for redirects (which i have done).  Poor redlinked Nick Locarno may be worth an article, though, since he was the antecedent for Tom Paris.   Morwen - Talk 10:47, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete When I first saw this AfD I figured that the subject was Cadet Locarno who had a large role in the episode and might be considered notable (as the antecedent for Tom Paris). But this fellow is pretty clearly clearly below the threshold.  His death is a major plot point and is apropriately covered in the episode article, but there is simply nothing else to say about him.
