Kirk/Spock

An article about Kirk/Spock fan slash fiction. Written with reference to more fan articles on fan websites, and even has a graph of fan posting frequency (original research?) to alt.startrek.creative... but is unencylopedic, unreliable, unverifiable fan gossip and cruft gathered from across the web and usenet. - Motor (talk) 15:42, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep But Cleanup It's a timeline of an actual fiction movement and doesn't seem to be an advertisement, but it's completely unsourced except for external links. If the timeline were sourced and verified, I'd say keep it. -Markeer 15:59, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Merge etymology and genre-important info back to slash fiction, and delete the rest. -- GWO
Keep. If any sort of slash fiction deserves a separate article — I'm more into Gimli/Treebeard myself — this would be it; it seems to be the original. Fan articles and websites are good enough references for matters dealing with fan fiction. Smerdis of Tlön 18:59, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per GWO. Creeping cruftitude challenged ! Checked ! Confounded ! Angus McLellan (Talk) 20:00, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or Merge -- no opinion which. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 20:20, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and tidy up. Notable throughout science fiction fannish community - even a non-trekkie like me has heard of K/S slash. Grutness...wha? 01:19, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Merge. It is indeed notable and should not be deleted; but it belongs in the slash fiction article. Mike Christie 01:35, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I would normally look to kill an article like this but it is a notable phenomenon that I have heard of, despite having no interest in sci-fi or 'slash'. Keresaspa 11:27, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into slash fiction. This doesn't need its own article. Eluchil404 02:28, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep There are sourced statements from Gene Roddenberry himself, how is this all fan speculation? It's a noteworthy phenomenon - like Keresapsa, I've heard of this outside of the Trek fandom. Thatcrazycommie 00:46, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I think of this article as a more detailed historical look into the origins of slash fiction. The Roddenberry quote is really interesting and shouldn't be deleted, but it doesn't fit into the more general slash fiction page. Lots of topics have corresponding "history of" articles and rightfully so. A cleanup would be nice though.
Keep This phenomenon is important to fandom. Fandom is important to Wikipedia. Vadder 05:12, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
