The result was   delete. A bit tempted by the redirect proposal by Dhartung, but this page on Yahoo answers (which admittedly is not the most reliable of sources) states that the origin of "USS" in front of Star Trek ships has never been canonically stated, hence the content is not really verifiable, only based on a consensus among Star Trek fans. I am therefore declining placing the redirect for now, unless someone has a better argument for placing it. Sjakkalle (Check!)  08:50, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

United star ship

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Wikipedia is not a glossary or acronym guide. Contested prod; author removed the prod template and copied a large section of tangential information from Starfleet ship registry and classes in Star Trek, presumably an attempt to forestall deletion (I've since removed the copied material). I'm a fan of Star Trek myself, but I just don't see how this article is useful. Powers T 15:07, 23 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete. As per nom. --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 17:10, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong delete. Obviously non-notable as it's a minor tidbit of in-universe information. Extremely doubtful reliable secondary sources have ever devoted any sort of coverage to the designation itself. There is nothing to merge, and this is not a likely search term so redirect is inappropriate. Doctorfluffy (robe and wizard hat) 18:15, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete and redirect to Starfleet ship registry and classes in Star Trek. Google currently finds Starship Enterprise rather easily, but the more general article is a better target. --Dhartung | Talk 19:57, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
