Terra Incognita[edit]
This has no useful content, and is just a link to an online game. --Brendanfox 12:37, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Delete and redirect to Terra Australis Incognita. Radiant! 15:39, Feb 15, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, ad, RD would help. Wyss 17:22, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Delete advert --BenWilson 17:24, Feb 15, 2005 (UTC)
- Keep see below for current thoughts. HyperZonk 16:18, Feb 16, 2005 (UTC)
Delete for being shameless promotional material. HyperZonk 18:10, Feb 15, 2005 (UTC) - Delete as above. Brookie 18:47, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Comment there are over 200,000 Google hits for that term. There is quite a number of hits for a science fiction magazine by that name. Perhaps the present article can be deleted and a new one written up, which includes alternate meanings for that term? No vote as yet. Megan1967 01:32, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- If it's an oft-used Latin phrase, maybe we should setup a disambig for it? Radiant! 08:49, Feb 16, 2005 (UTC)
- Disambig per above sounds good. Kappa 09:22, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Comment. In my opinion, the Latin phrase (now accepted by many dictionaries as English) probably belongs in the Wiktionary. The original internet game advertisement belongs neither in Wiktionary nor Wikipedia, as all of the delete votes above should make clear. If it is generally felt that Terra Australis (referred to by Radiant! above as Terra Australis Incognita, which redirects to Terra Australis) should also be a target, then we should indeed have a disambiguation page. I have been bold without doing the probably needed transwiki. HyperZonk 16:18, Feb 16, 2005 (UTC)

- Disambig has been implemented; unless anyone has anything to add, move to close discussion. Alba 02:41, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Turn into disambiguation page, with the original use in the top - Skysmith 11:04, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Keep stub and fix capitalization. Gazpacho 02:22, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Keep in its current form. Susvolans (pigs can fly) Did you know that there is a proposal to treat dissent from naming conventions as vandalism? 09:58, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Keep as a disambiguation page. JamesBurns 06:53, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
