Mundane
Delete : Mundane topic. Should be part of some larger article if authors find that it should be wiki-relevant.
 * keep I can see the argument for merging into mundane or perhaps into Babylon 5. Though with respect User:Xtreambar, merging is not the same as deletion. On the other hand, I think the discussion of the derogatory use of the word is outside the scope of wiktionary and it is worthy of splitting from Babylon 5. MGSpiller 00:32, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep It would be preferable to keep the expression as a separate article, but with primary mention of its older fannish usage (from science fiction fandom), with linkage to Babylon 5 only in recognition that the television series derived the usage from SF fandom. Frankly, mundanes deserve to be treated in a derogatory manner, as in the commonly seen SF convention button "Save the Mundanes! We Need Them For Breeding Stock."

 * Merge with Babylon 5, don't redirect. The term "mundane" is not specific to Babylon 5 only. Babylon 5 also used the word "and" on several occasions, should that article also be redirected to Babylon 5?   &mdash; J I P | Talk 07:28, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Does Babylon 5 say anything specific about "and"? Kappa 13:53, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
 * We cannot merge and not redirect. The GFLD ties our hands. If we merge, we must redir to maintain the history i.e. the author attribution list. -Splash 00:40, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable term. Stirling Newberry 23:24, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep- used by many groups to tag outsiders (SF fandom, SCAdians and pagans off the top of my head) Saswann 14:21, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge into Science Fiction Fandom along with gafiate and fafiate (see VfD also opened this date). Transwiki definition. - WCFrancis 18:08, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
