Space Pirate Mothership

This article was marked VfD several days ago but not placed on the VfD page until now. Bryan 06:25, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Delete: This article is underdeveloped and there is not enough info. There should be a separate page for each ship (assumming there is enough info) and there already is for Zebesian Space Pirates. "Space Pirates" is not the correct name.--Zxcvbnm 00:38, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Merge into some sort of Metroid locations article Bryan 06:20, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, Indrian is convincing. Bryan 03:32, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Editors can decide whether to cleanup/develop or merge and redirect with Zebesian Space Pirate. This would not require a VfD discussion. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 07:28, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, gamescruft. Megan1967 08:00, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

*Keep, concur with Tony Sidaway. Kappa 09:14, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Merge per WP:FICT. Radiant_* 10:11, Apr 11, 2005 (UTC) Convinced by Indrian's explanation, delete as nonsense. Radiant_* 09:21, Apr 12, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, gamecruft. --Bucephalus 13:07, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete without redirect. Wikipedia is not GameFAQs. --InShaneee 16:24, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep or merge. - SimonP 16:33, Apr 11, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep or merge, as Tony suggested. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 18:18, Apr 11, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. This is not a matter of "notability" or "fancruft", but rather just bad information. I have no idea what this is supposed to refer to. There are no ship locations in the original Metroid, so the article's statement to the contrary is just plain wrong. There is a wrecked ship in Super Metroid, but the instruction manual of the game itself explicitly states that this ship is from an ancient exploratory expedition and has nothing to do with the Space Pirates. Metroid Prime has a Zebian ship in it as well, but this is some kind of research ship that is also never identified as a mothership. This article is poorly written, full of unsubstantiated speculation, and should not be kept or merged under any circumstances. If one is going to vote to keep an article on wikipedia, one should at least do enough research to know whether the subject actually exists or not. Indrian 07:03, Apr 12, 2005 (UTC)
• Merge, I agree with Bryan's suggestion.--Matteh (talk) 12:16, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • But the problem with that well-intentioned suggestion is that there is no such Metroid location. Indrian 15:17, Apr 12, 2005 (UTC)
    • Ah. Delete, then. DS 23:16, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, if what Indrian says is true. - Stoph 01:10, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
