Starfleet International

 * – ( View AfD View log )

In ~two years since previous AfD, no appreciable expansion to include substantiation of notability through citations to significant coverage in third-party sources. Web search (and perusal of suggests books at previous AfD) don't bring up any such significant coverage. --EEMIV (talk) 20:46, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge to Trekkie. I would have assumed the world's largest Star Trek fan club would be notable, but I'm not seeing much either.  Seems a much better merge candidate than a deletion candiate though, as the Trekkie article barely mentions organised clubs, and should cover them in more detail.

 * Comment Since this is the 2nd nomination, it should be fixed to include the link to the first one. I'd do it myself, but I am not experienced enough in working with the code in AFD's.  :(     ArcAngel    (talk) ) 22:01, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, here's a link to it if it helps: Articles_for_deletion/STARFLEET_International I guess the caps difference confused the system. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  22:04, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Merge along with Starfleet International Conference to Trekkie. The activities section there is a more appropriate place for fan sites and projects. Jørdan 03:17, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment The following Star Trek Welcommittee, FedCon and Starfleet Command (fan group) articles would be similarly comfortable here. Jørdan 03:17, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - User:Admhawk errantly posted the following at the previous AfD page: >>I am just wondering where this warning was last week? It 1-7-2011 and never seen this 'nomination for deletion'. If the reasons for deletion were take seriously here then half the articles, no 2/3rds of the article on Wikipedia should be deleted. I had recently edited and replaced the entire narrative (as the person in charge by the Office of the STARFLEET Historian) and did not see this deletion nomination. --Admhawk (talk) 7:48 pm, Yesterday (UTC−5)<<
 * The content replacement was not an improvement over the previous state insofar as Wikipedia content and sourcing guidelines are concerned. Thinking about an article as a "narrative" is in itself oddball, and Admhawk's responsibilities within the club make his contributions iffy under WP:COI (but perhaps explain why the article so firmly reads like an ad). --EEMIV (talk) 19:56, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Looks like Admhawk might not actually want any version of this article that he does not "maintain" to sit at Wikipedia.. --EEMIV (talk) 20:01, 8 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Merge or Delete. "The office of the Starfleet historian"? Come on, this is a grown up encyclopedia not MySpace. Chrisieboy (talk) 13:37, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
