References to Star Trek in The Simpsons

 * Delete per WP:NOT and unencyclopedic. Jersey Devil 19:11, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, maybe mention the fact that Simpsons have ST references in the trivia section. --Ton e 19:26, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Beam this over to Memory Alpha, if they want it.  young  american  (talk) 19:30, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge Trivia section of either Star Trek or The Simpsons A dmrb♉ltz ( T | I | E ) 21:39, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Gods No! We would then have to do that for every trivia list. That's going to make for one strong ST list, and a titanic Simpsons list. Would support the adding of something along the lines of "Star Trek, like many other entertainment franchises, is referred to on several occasion on the Simpsons" to the Simpsons article, and a similar line to the Star Trek article. -- Saberwyn 21:55, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep valid subarticle for References to Star Trek. Failing that merge. CanadianCaesar Et tu, Brute? 23:07, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Set phasers on Delete. Subcategories of trivia, yeesh. --Calton | Talk 01:22, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete This is a job for The Simpsons Archive. Danny Lilithborne 01:37, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep per prior vote atVotes_for_deletion/References_to_Star_Trek_in_The_Simpsons not everything in an encyclopedia has to be life or death.  If we feed this off to another wiki we might as well close down wikipedia as anything under any topic could be shoved off to another wiki.  Both shows have had a major cultural impact in todays society.
 * Comment The last vote, directly above this was by me I forgot to sign, sorry. EnsRedShirt 02:34, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment This slippery slope scenario is without foundation. We're talking about Star Trek references in the Simpsons.  A show that references pop-culture constantly referencing a pop-culture show.  I fail to see how we get to "close down wikipedia" from there. Danny Lilithborne 02:52, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment I admit I went a little over the top with that comment, but the fact remains the same, if enough wiki's pop up we can move any article on wikipedia to another wiki. Both Star Trek and The Simpsons are huge pop icons of the current American, and World life style.  So when one does refrence the other it is notable.  The question I place to you is do you want wikipedia to be a true representation of life and culture today, or do you want it to be a dry, bare bones, just the facts encylcopedia?  If I wanted that I could go to Encyclopedia.com (or somewhere else).  Wikipedia is diffrent, created by people for people. It lends itself to have knowledge of popular cuture, as well as some obscure, but notable facts.  EnsRedShirt 03:09, 13 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete, SimpTrekcruft
 * Still think things like this should be off-loaded to the specialist Wikis, and a link to that location left on the main Wiki. -- Simon Cursitor 07:08, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

 * I agree with deletion for the reasons above.Freddie 22:19, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - un-encyclopaedic.-- blue 520  23:35, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per EnsRedShirt Crito2161 19:58, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per prior vote. --LuciferBlack 20:28, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per Saberwyn. As much as I'm a huge Simpsons fan (and I have nothing against Star Trek either) this is completely unnecessary. Ziggurat 21:12, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
