The result was redirect to Star Fleet Universe. This was a difficult AfD to close. First, let me note that the claim that the article was original research does not hold water since the article does not make any new synthesis from the source material (aside from a few sentences in the introduction that may be problematic). Second, the claim that there is a copyright problem is also not persuasive. While some sentences are very similar to that of the source material to the point where it might be considered plagiarism in an academic setting, the vast majority of the article appears to be substantially paraphrased to the point where it is not an issue. However, overall there is no reason to consider this notable. We have no reliable secondary sources about the matter and as it stands fails WP:FICT. Furthermore, this isn't even from the main Star Trek universe but from a side-universe constructed for a series of games. Notability is not generally inherited and it is certainly not inherited from things that are only barely notable themselves. The main reason is this not a decision of delete is that some of the material might make sense as being incorporated into the main Star Fleet Universe article and leaving a redirect makes it easier for the material be used there or at some other project.

This history of the future is, of course, unfinished, but also non-notable and just too in universe to be classed as anything other than original research based on original research. --Gavin Collins 16:42, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I am going to restate my case here, since the debate above has gotten long, and I want to make myself clear. This article is little more than a plot summary, and even if we belabor the definition of "wikt:story" and "wikt:plot", this article is still a summary of a fictional work. The intent I read in WP:NOT#PLOT would say that Wikipedia is not the place for a simple summary of a work of fiction. WP:NOT#PLOT says articles on fiction must have real world context and sourced analysis, and this article has neither. The only place to find real world context and sourced analysis is secondary sources, which this article does not have. I also have concerns that a timeline like this is a derivative work of Star Fleet Universe, since it does not have the critical commentary that would make it allowable as a fair use of copyrighted material. This article also has big problems with the WP:WAF guidelines, particularly because the article is derived entirely from primary sources and is almost completely in-universe. This article fails even the lower standards of an article section, and has no place anywhere in Wikipedia. Therefore, it should be deleted. --Phirazo 17:14, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
