Liberty Fleet[edit]

Vanity, non-notable Star Trek RPG. No encyclopedic potential. -- Michael Warren | Talk 20:03, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)

  • This page has every potential. It's a notable part of the Star Trek genre, created by fans to enhance and build upon the original concepts. If Star Trek itself should get a mention, then why should this not? Lieutenant Blue 20:18, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete: Game vanity. There is a huge difference between a TV show and fanfic, and a huge difference between a movie and the game based on it, and a huge difference between a book and slashfiction written about it. Not a notable game, nor encyclopedic content. Wikipedia does not allow advertising. Geogre 20:27, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)
    • Comment to anyone Google testing: "Liberty of the fleet" is a common historical phrase, and there could be several liberty fleets outside of this. It may be that this particular, exact thing gets a lot of hits, but we should be aware of the potential homophones. Geogre 03:37, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • I am not advertising this game! If I was, it would say "PLAY THIS GAME!" all over it! The reason I have put this article up is because it IS worth noting. Lieutenant Blue 20:18, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Nothing worth noting here - this isn't a major new idea, and Wikipedia isn't for establishing notability, it is for reflecting it. What is left is something more suited to someone's personal webpage, not an encyclopedia. Average Earthman 20:58, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Weak keep. The site seems somewhat notable in its field (Googling for "'liberty fleet' trek" yields 5.500 hits) but present content isn't very suitable for Wikipedia. People who know Liberty Fleet will not come to Wikipedia to get (for example) the crew lists, and people who don't know LF can't use the (fictional) crew lists in the first place. Suggest weeding to limit it to information useful to interested non-players. JRM 21:08, 2004 Dec 6 (UTC)
  • Delete. A fan created product that is not encyclopedic. Wikipedia is not a place for noting every fanfic endeavor out there. Indrian 21:12, Dec 6, 2004 (UTC)

  • The page has been blanked and the Wikipedia database is not allowing me to revert to the previous page, for the moment. [[User:GRider|GRider\talk]] 22:14, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)
    • Database troubles are over. I've reverted the article and informed Lieutenant Blue (who blanked it him/herself) that that's not how we do things around here. JRM 00:10, 2004 Dec 7 (UTC)
  • Delete pseudo-fanfic. -Sean Curtin 00:38, Dec 7, 2004 (UTC)
