List of fictional xenoarchaeologists

 * — (View AfD)

I am completing an incomplete afd nomination. Abstain Iamunknown 20:02, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as far as I know, all xenoarcaeologists are fictional. And there aren't that many of them. Guy (Help!) 20:52, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - original research and no reliable sources. Jayden54 21:20, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Question Where is the OR? There is no speculation in any of the names, and if there are, remove them.  Sourcing should be done at the entry, not on this list anyway.  Not saying keep, if only because this list is so incomplete anyway.  And what is the lower limit of membership to have a list?  FrozenPurpleCube 23:30, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as nominator - originally part of mass nom at Articles for deletion/List of fictional actors. These are indiscriminate lists drawing largely unrelated articles from a wide variety of genres, difficult if not impossible to maintain and will never aproach completeness. Otto4711 23:31, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep notable within fictional TV shows. Anomo 10:54, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy close without prejudice. Nominator gives no rationale for this proposal. —Psychonaut 12:41, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
 * The nom does give a rationale; see Otto's first post &mdash; Iamunknown 05:15, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per JzG, and per WP:NOT an indiscriminate collection of crap, and also as there's no evidence whatsoever that the people listed are xenoarchaeologists: Bernice Summerfield says archaeologist for example, no mention of xenoarchaeology in Daniel Jackson, etc. The nominator, Otto4711, did give a reason. Like Jayden54 said, original research. Angus McLellan (Talk) 13:44, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Feel free to remove that entry then, if no source can be found. (though since descriptions of her do include archaeological digs off the planet Earth, I'd say it possible to find such, but I don't have the books myself). In any case, that doesn't argue against other xenoarchaeologists or the list itself.  FrozenPurpleCube 18:08, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Removing the archaeologists leaves a list of red- or non-links. Angus McLellan (Talk) 18:24, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Fine with me, this list is so incomplete, it needs expansion before it can be weighed on its merits. FrozenPurpleCube 19:46, 9 January 2007 (UTC)


 * keep There's a way to fix red links, which isto write the articles. The list is useful even if that has not yet been done for some of the entries.DGG 03:50, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
