None of these other than the tribble (which has it's own article) are particularly noteable in their own right, and indeed, the references on this page are primarily to Star Trek's official page or episode summaries, rather than third party coverage of the assorted creatures. I think this page could stand to be redirected to the main Star Trek article. Jtrainor (talk) 02:02, 16 May 2019 (UTC) Jtrainor (talk) 02:02, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I created the page but not the original content, which was merged from multiple stubs. Not only tribble but also the brain-invading worm Ceti eel has real-world coverage, even though it is unnamed in The Wrath of Khan. The benefit of keeping this page is to give some explanation for animals mentioned in episode plot summaries. Redirecting to the main article would be pointless. – Fayenatic London 07:27, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and do not redirect, as there is no single suitable target. There's no coverage outside of Star Trek fandom. Clarityfiend (talk) 19:22, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, no redirect per User:Clarityfiend. The article is cruft and better suited for Wikia. Notable enough species warrant their own articles. Any explanation of the animals for episode plot summaries can either be contained within the episode's article or constitute WP:UNDUE weight. Given these factors, there's no general redirect target and no particular content on here that should be preserved, so no redirect. – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 00:46, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, no redirect. The content is fancruft from beginning to end and completely lacks independent, reliable sources. There's no content suitable to merge anywhere, or any obvious target for a redirect. Reyk _YO! 11:19, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
