Deletion of Society and Star Trek

Comment: See #OTHOUGHT  This is an essay.  It does not treat its subject in the manner of an encyclopedic article.  Just because other sources support the arguments in the essay does not make this an encyclopedic article.  If we take out all of the essay part the usable bits can be merged and incorporated into Cultural influence of Star Trek.  This should be published somewhere else-- somewhere that is not an encyclopedia, as it is a very good essay.  Publish it where essays belong, but not in Wikipedia

Comment: Three arguments, basically: 1. None of the claims that are without sources are of such a nature that they cannot be sourced. 2. The article is a relevant subarticle of Star Trek per . That article has a 21 books long bibliography, most of which could be used here as well. Would a copy-paste do? 3. The article is from http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Society_and_Star_Trek&oldid=10590634 2005, which makes it unlikely that this is one of the OR essays we often encounter here. Old articles should be deleted only with extreme care, as we cannot blame the original author for the different standards Wikipedia had back then, nor can we blame the author that no one has gotten around to editing the article yet

Comment: 1. The nominator is incorrect in claiming this is an in-universe article; this article is entirely about how Star Trek was influenced by, and its influence on, the real world. 2. While lack of cited sources makes this article appear to be original research, most if not all of the claims made within can be found in reliable sources; for example, plenty of sources can be found on http://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&lr=&safe=off&q=society+%22Star+Trek%22&btnG=Search Google Scholar to support a well-sourced article on society and Star Trek. 3. I don't think this should be merged with Cultural influence of Star Trek; that article appears to be mostly about Star Trek's influence on popular culture, while this article is about its influence on society in general, and how it was influenced by its contemporary society. 4. I've sent the article to both  and , as I think the topic is encyclopedic and the article can definitely be improved with effort
