[edit] intro

All the "STNG" & "DS9" pages need changes to the intro section. The "info box" is interfering with the character's name. --trekphiler, 16/11/05

[edit] Picard

In the entry, it says "Although Picard had great faith in her, her hatred for the Cardassians would later win out over her loyalty to him." Is that directly derived from dialog in the series? I would say that empathy for the displaced persons in demilitarized zone were what convinced her rather than a vendetta against cardassians. --Seg

[edit] Don't merge

I would be for merge, but it's apparently its own article in four different Wikipedias. Besides she was one of the main cast for a season or so and was likely in a similar number of episodes as Tasha Yar.--T. Anthony 12:03, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

I was way off. Forbes was only in 9 and one of those not as Laren. Still she was in more eps than Q.--T. Anthony 15:25, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

I consider "more episodes than Q" to be a valid argument for not merging the article. You may want to repeat your view on the list's talk page. —Disavian (^talk/_contribs) 17:34, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

- But the article needs to have enough real-world notability, which as I last looked, Q didnt even have enough, and was primarily in-universe. Merging these articles is a propsal that can ultimately save them from AFD's that they may not pass. Ejfetters 23:04, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
- Also she was never the Main cast member, just a recurring guest star. Unnotable real-world article better merged. Ejfetters 23:04, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

- - In theory I'd agree with you more than you might think. In practice the character does seem to be notable as defined by Wikipedia. She gets around 25,200 google-hits[1] and around 39 in Google News archive.[2] There is even a scholarly book that makes a few noteworthy mentions of her. Star Trek and Sacred Ground (SUNY Press). That plus her being in four other Wikipedias makes me think she's suitably noteworthy.--T. Anthony 06:35, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
