Talk:Starfighter (science fiction)

message: Removed the following from the article because it doesn't fit, IMHO.
Some famous starfighter pilots of the Star wars Universe include:
*Wedge Antilles 
*Luke Skywalker 
*Corran Horn 
*Arvel Crynyd 
*Horton Salm 
*Biggs Darklighter
*Jek Porkins
It seems a bit odd to note only the SW fighter pilots.  If we are, then we should put them in a seperate article and note other famous starfighter pilots as well (Starbuck and Apollo from BSG, Rick Hunter and Roy Fokker from Robotech, Buck Rogers from the 70s version of the franchise, etc. etc. etc.).  Anyone else have an opinion on this?--Mitsukai 12:50, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

message: The correct term, which covers all spacecraft resembling fighter aircraft, is space fighter. I would even accept "fighter spacecraft". A starfighter is, by way of analogy with starship, a space fighter with the ability to travel between the stars. Please change the name of this article. 70.20.171.242 (talk) 01:59, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

From the AfD closer: "The result was Move/Merge/Dab. There are a lot of opinions here, and the main one appears to be that the content is notable but is not necessarily the primary usage of the term, and could be merged into similar articles. Taking the consensus as a whole, I have moved the article to Starfighter (science fiction), proposed a merge there, and turned Starfighter into a dab with the real-world aircraft as the primary target, by moving Starfighter (disambiguation) there and re-ordering it. Starfighter (disambiguation) therefore becomes redundant so I have deleted it. Black Kite (talk) 08:22, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

text: I'm inclined to go through with the merge to Military spacecraft in fiction as that seems to be what most at the AfD thought appropriate. I'll wait a while for feedback though. Barsoomian (talk) 09:09, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I've updated the merge tag (and placed one on the destination article too) to point to the destination article talk page,  per WP:MERGE. -- Trevj (talk) 21:08, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  On second thought, Military spacecraft in fiction doesn't have any lists. The introductory text could go there though. List_of_fictional_spaceships#Military_.26_exploration would be a more appropriate place to put the lists of space fighters. Barsoomian (talk) 08:16, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
