Starfleet Marine Corps


Wholly conjectural organization; this entire page is speculation and a list of things that aren't Marines or might be Marines or could be Marines, etc. EEMeltonIV 21:46, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
 * "The Starfleet Marines are an unconfirmed organization in the fictional Star Trek universe; no Marine organisation has ever been canonically shown in any Star Trek incarnation ". The article admits original research and fan speculation in the first line! Delete as unverifiable by published sources. -- saberwyn 22:11, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per Saberwyn. Darkspots 22:21, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I recommend salvage (merge/move). There had been unusual marine-like character appearing as the article suggests. They are definitely separate from rest of Starfleet... -- Cat out 22:41, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
 * If it is "definite", why isn't this separation cited in the article? The expression "Starfleet Marine [Corps]" itself isn't even a verifiable part of the franchise. In terms of people looking different -- i.e. different uniform -- I copy-and-pasted the relevant line into the Starfleet Uniforms article. --EEMeltonIV 22:48, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Yea thats what I meant by salvage. Recover anything that can be of any use. And instead of deleting maybe redirecting? (say to Starfleet uniforms perhaps) :) -- Cat out 22:50, 11 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. Alas poor Trek, I knew it well.  —   pd_THOR  undefined | 23:03, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Unverified fancruft OR. Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought. As I understand it, there are other wikis for this kind of stuff, but life is far too short to go looking for them. -- I sl a y So lo mo n  |  t a l k  23:14, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - pure OR, no sources, never mentioned in cancon, so violates WP:RS, and WP:VERIFY, del as fancruft --Mnem e son 23:47, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Sad Delete I was hoping there was something from Starfleet Battles to make this article a keeper, but I'm not even sure if there's anything for Memory Alpha here. FrozenPurpleCube 01:07, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. You mean, a fictional fictional organisation? Whoa. Sandstein 01:11, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, although I was under the impression the MACOS were marines and that a marine unit was indeed mentioned in Star Trek VI. Guess I was wrong. Anyway, too speculative. 23skidoo 02:20, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete - this is clearly just some fanboys inventing their own backstory. Pete Fenelon 00:47, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak Merge with STARFLEET International, if proper refs can be found. It doesn't seem to be original research (ref: the Rodenberry citation, although a reference would be good).
