This is a term describing the fictional process of going superluminal in the TV show Farscape. It is unsourced, and makes no claim to notability. It doesn't seem interesting, even in-universe. I prod tagged it, and the tag was removed. SolidPlaid 15:51, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. I could see this becoming a respectable article; Star Trek's article, Warp drive, manages to cover a fictional propulsion technology while still complying with WP's guidelines. Admittedly, there are more sources on (and probably more of a scientific foundation behind) Star Trek than Farscape. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 21:20, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Pffffffbt! Star Trek made up physics as it went and loved solving problems by introducing a particle-of-the-week. I wouldn't be worried about less scientific basis. --Kizor 02:40, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I could see it being merged to Leviathan (Farscape), based on the discussion below. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 05:08, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge into Leviathan (Farscape), where it belongs. No real need to maintain a seperate article, especially one as short as this. PC78 07:34, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep and merge into Leviathan, as suggested by PC78. Since only Leviathans can starburst it makes sense to include it there, only splitting it out if the article grows too large. Bryan Derksen 01:04, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- There's no such thing as Keep and Merge. SolidPlaid 01:32, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete non-notable, no sources. Reading the article, it says that light plays about the ship, and then it goes zoom. This would be like having an article about how little lights sparkle on by the Enterprise when it is underway, or an article about how the stars streak out in front of the Millennium Falcon when Hans says, "Hit it, Chewie".

- Merge into Leviathan (Farscape) per PC78 seems the most sensible. IIRC, this term was used in almost every FS episode, and was even spoofed in the 200th episode of Stargate SG-1. – sgeureka t•c 09:15, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
