Kasidy Yates
This sub-minor Star Trek character turns up 423 hits on Google. Is there anything here worth merging into a larger list or should this be deleted in its entirety? --GRider\talk 23:03, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm not a big fan of separate articles for non-starring fictional characters, but appearances in 15 episodes over five of DS9's seven seasons, including the finale, certainly makes her more notable than Brunt or Data's cat, Spot. Within the ST universe I'd say her notability is comparable to Naomi Wildman (18 or 20 appearances, depending on how you count). I probably wouldn't lose any sleep if this was merge/redir'd w/Benjamin Sisko or some collective ST characters article, but if she goes, more than half of Category:Star_Trek_characters should probably go, as many have only one appearance in all of Trek. FWIW, there's a bunch more hits if you change that search to the misspelling 'kassidy'. Niteowlneils 03:08, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge with List of Star Trek characters. As Niteowlneils points out, this is a recurring character instead of a one episode blip. --Allen3 04:05, Mar 8, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep recurring, major or otherwise notable Star Trek characters, like this one. Merge and redirect the rest.  -Sean Curtin 05:26, Mar 8, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Semi-notable character, not exactly minor.   &mdash; J I P | Talk 06:17, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, cleanup and expand. Notable recurring character in ST. Megan1967 07:12, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. I don't buy into the whole google test idea and notability has never been a valid consideration for inclusion (per deletion policy) as has been mentioned umpteen-illion times before by several people, including the nominator. *COUGH*  &mdash;RaD Man (talk) 07:13, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. I don't know much about Star Trek, but even I've heard of her.  Miss Pippa 16:38, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notable and recurring. --Steven Fisher 06:46, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
