List of spacecraft from the Space Odyssey series

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is a list of fictional minutia. There are some extremely trivial film production details. If they're not already covered in the film articles, they're likely too trivial to cover on this site. If any are notable, it'd be the one that already has an article (though current condition indicates it should be removed unless a search shows sources), so there is little likelihood of these establishing notability as a group. These details are not necessary to understand the series, so it is not a justified content split. TTN (talk) 12:09, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete Only one of the listed spaceships is potentially notable. The others have not achieved any level of prominence. &#8213; Susmuffin Talk 12:58, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete I am less than convinced that Discovery 1 is notable (as opposed to HAL), but clearly nothing justifies this uncontrolled list.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:34, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep A slew of IDONTLIKEITs is no reason for deletion. Discovery is one of the most famous sci-fi spaceships in film history. Andy Dingley (talk) 14:40, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Guess which one has an article and thus has no bearing in this particular discussion. TTN (talk) 14:51, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Because you're just trying to delete the Pods? Or the Pan-Am Orion? The space station?  Do you really not see the damage such a deletion causes, filleting out such major elements of the book/film? Andy Dingley (talk) 15:05, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Major is a completely subjective term that has no place deciding which fictional elements to cover. Sources are all that matter. None of these items need this much detail without sources to back them. They can otherwise be summarized where necessary, if at all. TTN (talk) 15:10, 26 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete Discovery One already has an article and none of the other have the sourcing necessary to demonstrate notability, either singly or collectively. Reyk YO! 15:32, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
 * This is a list. There isn't even a requirement for individual list items to demonstrate WP:NOTABILITY. Andy Dingley (talk) 14:41, 29 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete per Reyk Dartslilly (talk) 02:19, 29 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Fancruft list that fails WP:LISTN and has no relevance to non-fans (beyond Discovery One, which has an article already).ZXCVBNM (TALK) 22:24, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
