I am not sure why this orignal research was not deleted on first nomination, as it contains too much trivial fancruft for an encyclopedia entry. At best this can be described as POV fork from the game Star Fleet Universe, and since it does not have any claim for notability as required by WP:Fiction nor any independent citations to justify inclusion, it needs be deleted to avoid confusion with serious articles such as Magellanic Clouds. --Gavin Collins 09:09, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete First, thanks for adding the previous AfD link. I like to review those before making a final decision. I read the article over... I even read a few related articles. I have to agree that this appears to be fancruft. I disagree with the OR statement, as the information is located in each of the books, but it really isn't necessary here.

 * Merge Either to Star Fleet Universe or, if that article would become too large as was suggested in previous AFD, to a new article containing information on all of the expansions for the game. I'd like to some of this information kept -somewhere-, but don't think it's noteworthy enough to deseve it's own article. - Pacula 13:59, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep or Merge. With the merge option preferably going to a new article on settings in the Star Fleet Universe.  Again, this has nothing to do with WP:POV -- there's no point of view being advanced here, it's simply a separate page to contain more detail about an aspect of the Star Fleet Universe. It's also not original research -- reading a primary source and stating facts that can be determined from it by any reader without synthesis or interpretation is specifically allowed, if you read WP:OR.  And I don't really see how anyone is going to confuse this with scientific articles about the real Magellanic Clouds, since the article's first sentence explains that this article is about an aspect of a game.

 * Delete or Merge. This article is either original research or does not reference well at all.  This is notable to Star Trek fans but just barely.  -- Blind  Eagle  talk ~ contribs  20:23, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
