Static warp bubble

Star Trek fancruft. The article is about a technological anomaly-of-the-week that was never referred to in the series again. —Psychonaut 15:50, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)

• Phasers on delete. One pseudo-scientific mumbo jumbo reference used in one episode of a science fiction series. This is not of any relevance whatsoever to anything at all, ever. While some things in Star Trek are arguably worth a discussion (e.g. the eye scan in one of the films) as part of a larger article, things like this are not worth a discussion at all, and certainly not an article on their own. They aren't suggesting things that might happen, it isn't a debate on the way things may be, it is simply something thrown in to give a plot for one episode (which in my opinion should appear merely as a paragraph or two within a season guide format article).

• Merge into "Remember Me", the single episode where it appeared. Probably no need to keep it as a redirect. -- Antaeus Feldspar 18:36, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect. No good reason to not create a redirect. --L33tminion | (talk) 19:13, Dec 7, 2004 (UTC)
• Delete it, Scotty. Wyss 19:30, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)
• Delete: No merge or redirect. Too trivial. Geogre 19:54, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)
• Delete or, at best, redirect to the appropriate Star Trek series since we don't have individual episode entries (thank God). Lord Bob 23:48, Dec 7, 2004 (UTC)
• MERGE and REDIRECT into Treknobabble 132.205.15.43 00:00, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)
• MERGE (with no redirect) into Warp drive 24.124.29.135 00:07, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)
• Delete. Fancruft. --Improv 22:09, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)
• Delete, or else move to Memory Alpha where they live for this stuff. Triviality is relative, dear friends. Mashford 21:22, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)
• SUPER-MEGA-DELETE-WITH-KNOBS-ON. The word is fancruft. We should delete this nonsense and then go on a deletion rampage. Destroy all of the rest of the trivial, banal star trek rubish. Picth forks and burning torches at the ready my friends!--Bucephalus 11:45, 12 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Please tone down the rhetoric. If your intention is to ridicule those who are concerned with fannish stuff overwhelming a real-world encyclopedia, then your intention is achieved and your point is made. If it wasn't your intention, then please realize that you're making your own side look bad. -- Antaeus Feldspar 17:02, 12 Dec 2004 (UTC)
