[edit] Kanar (Star Trek)

Kanar (Star Trek) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Delete - These drinks certainly exist in the ST universe but in and of themselves are not particularly notable. Per WP:FICT they don't seem substantial enough to sustain individual articles. I would certainly be all right with a merge into a "List of Star Trek fictional beverages" article but if consensus is to delete I'm good with that. Otto4711 13:44, 25 January 2007 (UTC) I am also nominating:

Klingon Blood Wine (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
Romulan ale (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
Synthehol (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
  • To clarify, I don't think the drinks are important enough to have a list article or I'd have done it myself, but if people want a list article I wouldn't oppose it. Otto4711 14:00, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak delete Kanar as it only really impacted one series (DS9). But Keep Blood Wine, Romulan ale and Synthehol (especially Syntehol) as those beverages are mentioned and featured frequently throughout the Trek franchise. 23skidoo 14:46, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge into a single article on Star Trek beverages, or life in the Trek future, as that would probably be more useful at this point, and there's enough substance to their use in the series to keep at least some of these. FrozenPurpleCube 16:35, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
    • Even lumped together, I don't think "Star Trek beverages" would meet the threshold for notability. --EEMeltonIV 17:41, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
      • Well, that might be why it would be worth considering an article on life in the Trek future covering a variety of things like foods, drinks, even clothing. There's certainly enough hmm, widespread coverage of Star Trek that a variety of minor subtopics can fall under its umbrella. It'd be one thing if a substance only appeared in one episode, but with say, Sythehol, there's [1] [2] to give it real world context. Might even have been something in that William Shatner show on the History channel. FrozenPurpleCube 22:35, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
        • My only concern with that is because there is such widespread coverage of "Life in the Trek future," any such article could become very long, necessitating section splits, and leaving us eventually back where we are right now. Wl219 01:38, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge Klingon, Cardassian and Romulan beverages into respective speceies' articles. Not sure what to do about synthehol. --EEMeltonIV 17:41, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge and redirect to separate species' articles per EEMelton. Do not delete this content outright. Walton monarchist89 19:57, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge into something. Kanar can go as far as I care, but Kligon Blood Wine etc. are terms well known among lots of people and therefore deserve an article as having had an impact on the Real world. Much more then most episode articles in wikipedia TheDJ (talk • contribs • WikiProject Television) 21:41, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
Perhaps bring this to WikiProject Star Trek. They are reasonably active and I think they can deal with this pretty well. TheDJ (talk • contribs • WikiProject Television)
  • Keep or Merge. I think a "List of fictional beverages in Star Trek" can stand on its own, after you add in Raktajino and stuff that's been shown on only 1 episode (muskin seed punch, Slugo-Cola). Wl219 01:38, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge (and create redirects afterward) to List of fictional food and beverages in Star Trek. Had to throw food in there so we can add Hasperat (Bjoran food) and other stuff that is likely to be made/already have an article. VegaDark 06:49, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment - Per the apparent merge consensus, I have gone ahead and created List of fictional foods and beverages in Star Trek. Wl219 10:58, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge to List of fictional foods and beverages in Star Trek (and give Wl219 a smile). I don't recall Kanar ever being much of a plot point but Romulan ale has a memorable appearence in Star Trek VI. Eluchil404 07:44, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
