Curzon Dax[edit]

Fancruft, i.e., ridiculously specific information on a fictional world, of interest to a very narrow audience. Memory Alpha already has an article. Sorry, Trekkies, it's nothing personal, I just don't think this is useful to anyone but hardcore Trek fans. Brian G. Crawford 02:18, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Colour me confused, but I see no reason why this entry ought to be deleted. It's no worse (or better) than any entry on any other Star Trek character. Fluit 02:39, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I'd rate Curzon Dax at about the same level as importance in ST as Noonien Soong and considerably more than Hugh (Star Trek). If you want to go on a crusade to nominate all the minor Star Trek character articles, be my guest, but you're probably not going to accomplish much. –Abe Dashiell ^(t/c) 02:40, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, notable. Badgerpatrol 02:48, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, the precedent on these characters was set long ago - if this goes, dozens of others would have to as well.Bridesmill 02:52, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEMES?) 03:01, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, as per precedent. Obviously notable and well-known Star Trek character. Carioca 03:02, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above. Curzon is referneced in numerous episode of DS9. Would be interesting to anyone who even casually watched the show Geedubber 03:39, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above. BryanG 03:41, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. I'm starting to suspect a WP:POINT at work, but I will continue to try to assume good faith for now. Not every article on every fictional character is cruft. Morgan Wick 03:45, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to List of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine characters, Curzon Dax is a minor character and needs to be placed in a list per WP:FICT. Dspserpico 03:52, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to merge, might I suggest Dax (Star Trek) instead? Just drop it into the Curzon Dax section that lists Curzon Dax as the "main article" right now. BryanG 03:59, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good, Dax (Star Trek) it is. Dspserpico 04:06, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Notable. DarthVad e r 03:54, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with Dax (Star Trek) and redirect. Relatively small amount of content, no reason for a spin-off. --Ajdz 04:28, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep notable. Any discussion of merge can take place on the relevant talk page. --Rob 04:39, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment merging is a valid vote per WP:AFD. Dspserpico 04:51, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yes, it is a valid vote. At the same time, a vote of keep doesn't preclude a merge, if there's future agreement for a merge. I just personally find it more productive if the actual editors working on the articles discuss it. I see AFDs being for the purpose of deciding whether a topic belongs in the encyclopedia at all, not for details of placement/presentation. A reason for me making my comment, is sometimes, some peope cite the AFD "keep" result, as a way of preculding any merge. I just wanted to be clear my keep vote isn't expressing an opinion, one way or the other, on the matter of amerge. --Rob 06:50, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: I would agree the Curzon Dax character isn't sufficiently notable by itself to merit an independent article, but this is simply an extension of Dax (Star Trek). (The articles are deliberately organized to avoid duplication.) Peter Grey 05:02, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Been Mentioned several times on DS9 however the a merge might work Aeon 06:41, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, notable. --Ter e nc e Ong 08:35, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep, highly notable by WP:FICT. Curzon Dax is mentioned in almost every single episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, to the point that he rivals the principals in importance. The number of topics related to Curzon Dax that matter in relation to that Star Trek series and other topics are enough to warrant a separate article.Captainktainer 09:05, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
