Non-notable online fan series in production—fails WP:WEB. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. The information in the article is largely speculative and unverifiable. --Slowking Man 09:24, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Nom is based on an incorrect premise - this not a fan-produced but produced by actors from Star Trek (I'd argue with it being a "series", but that's what the article says). The official startrek.com website has covered it, and I can find reports in various press sources about it being filmed. I shall try to source stuff. This is not your common-or-garden fan film, but something that really is notable. Morwen - Talk 13:51, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- OK. I have added sources, to startrek.com, to the official press release, and to a newspaper in the area which covered the filming. Is this appropriate now? This has probably been covered in the specialist SF press, but they don't tend to make their archives online. Oh, that that is a keep, by the way. I believe the article now meets, with my referencing the formal requirements of Wikipedia:Notability (web) Morwen - Talk 14:13, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep I agree that fan-series are not notable, but this one specifically is notable due to the inclusion of about a half-dozen "real" StarTrek actors and directed by a director that also directed an episode of Voyager. JRP 15:54, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Please note, that if anyone is thinking of nominating Star Trek: New Voyages and Starship Exeter, then I can (and will do anyway) furnish them with similar, if not better, references. Morwen - Talk 15:56, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong Keep; the fan film (and it is a singular film if I understand correctly) is being produced and directed by professional actors connected directly with the Trek franchise. In addition, articles within the mainstream media, as well as an article on the official Star Trek site itself [1]. In addition, more than 48,000 Google hits are returned on a search of the film's title. --Mhking 16:00, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - per Mhking and common sense. This is hardly your typical fan series. TheRealFennShysa 23:22, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Super-Mega-Turbo Strong Keep - per Mhking. This has major stars in it, including Nichelle Nichols, Walter Koenig, etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by WTRiker (talk • contribs)
- Keep for now; review in 6 months, to see whether it's still green-lighted. -- Simon Cursitor 12:03, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. This is by far the most professional of the fan films and involves a lot of professional actors. 71.111.73.121 17:00, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep; above the level of a normal fan film Tricky 08:25, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep; considering other Star Trek fan productions that have been kept, this one should be kept too. Major actors, covered by Paramount itself. Superwad 10:36, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
