Medicine in Star Trek : Much of it is unreferenced, and the first part is arguably ORish, with footnotes to Star Trek episodes.  No academic source is cited (GScholar suggests something on this could be found, although it is not clear to me whether an overview of 'medicine in Star Trek' is possible).  Subtopics like Hypospray can be independently notable (and that article exists and has some academic refs), but whether this can be salvaged, I am unsure (since the articles I see concern specific subtopic, like Nursing in Star Trek of genetic engineering in ST, etc.; ditto for sources identified in the AfD 10 years ago which haven't been even added to the article but suffer from the same limited focus).  For now I suggest, per WP:ATD-R , to redirect this mess to Technology in Star Trek , with perhaps some short merge.

This could be an article, but right now it's a mess, and I can't see a good way to make it work.  Andre 🚐 08:10, 15 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete .  All sources are either primary, or make a "This would be like in Star Trek!" remark without discussion the topic to a degree that would justify the article.  We could possibly roll this into Technology in Star Trek , but that article has a quality and fan cruft issues as well.  Cortador ( talk ) 09:20, 15 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Merge or just redirect to Technology in Star Trek per WP:ATD .  May be a notable subject, but WP:TNT applies.  ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ ( ᴛ ) 09:49, 15 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Redirect to Technology in Star Trek : While there might be a worthy topic here, the current article needs to be destroyed so that something else can be written.  Almost all of the sources in the article are either primary or brief mentions of specific types of technology in Star Trek .  Only one of them is usable.  Furthermore, considering the length of the potential target article, any useful information could easily fit into a discussion of the general topic.  ― Susmuffin Talk 17:18, 15 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Redirect to Technology in Star Trek as above (maybe a light merge).  Alternative would be to stubify into a short list.  Almost certainly meets GNG but I think the OR/SYNTH/UNDUE issues are enough of a problem that we can't simply tag.   — siro χ o 20:24, 15 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep and improve or merge to Technology in Star Trek .  This is a notable topic, secondary sources exist, they just have not yet been adequately used in the article.  So what we have could be perhaps trimmed and incorporated into an improved article which better addresses the overall topic.  Alternatively relevant parts could be merged into Technology in Star Trek .  A pure redirect is not appropriate in my view: While it is a sub-topic, it is nowhere addressed there yet.  And we do have specific sections or full articles of VISOR , Hypospray , Emergency Medical Hologram , which should be referred to in the same manner as other concepts already are in Technology in Star Trek .  Daranios ( talk ) 15:37, 17 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Merge/redirect per WP:ATD .  There isn't WP:SIGCOV to make this a separate article.  Editors are rallying around an acceptable redirect target.  Shooterwalker ( talk ) 03:36, 18 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment while merging might be a decent option WP:TNT does not apply to such articles.  People quoting it should, you know, actually read it and apply it in context.
