Ready room (Star Trek)[edit]

Article makes no assertion of real-world notability. Is entirely in-universe plot summary and trivia. --EEMIV (talk) 18:28, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: This article is not written in strict in-universe perspective; it's an article about the concept as it relates to the show. Abstain from voting, don't want to go research Star Trek cruft. Seems like a decently put-together article; better than Family Guy cruft. ;) --- tqbf 18:34, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - There needs to be an assertion of notability. Judgesurreal777 19:32, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This would be a great article for the Star Trek wiki but needs sources to establish notability outside of Star Trek. The reference to the Royal Navy might be interesting to base an article on. Capitalistroadster 19:45, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per points by tqbf. Not written in an in-universe style, and the mention of the Royal Navy thing is interesting. Admittedly, it's unreferenced (outside of episode references) and I'll go ahead and tag it with {{refimprove}}. —Disavian (^talk/_contribs) 00:13, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Watch me be unhelpful:

Here's a bunch of news hits referencing the Trek "ready room", suggesting coverage in reliable secondary sources
Here's the actual "Ready room" article on Wikipedia, where analysis about the concept of a ready room could go, allowing much of this content to be merged (into general Trek articles, and into "in popular culture" on the "Ready room" article).

Repeat: I abstain. :) --- tqbf 00:21, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, you are helpful :) I could see tqbf's merger, giving Ready room a nice, sourced section titled "In Star Trek". My only concern is that the section about Star Trek would be longer than the rest of the article! —Disavian (^talk/_contribs) 00:52, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as non-notable. I had a look at all Star Trek articles linking to this page, and they mention it in a dict-def kind of way, which Ready room already provides. The news.google.com pages also seem to ask just for a dict-def, so this article is definitely not needed (on wikipedia). – sgeureka ^t•c 09:23, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
