Starship Constitution[edit]

A page for a Star Trek starship, that was never actually seen in any movie or episode, that was never actually mentioned in dialogue. This can never be anything more than the stubbiest of stubs. Everything that can be said about this starship is already covered in Constitution class starship. Delete AlistairMcMillan 00:37, 27 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Constitution class starship. -- AllyUnion (talk) 02:07, 27 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect as above. --Canderson7 02:12, May 27, 2005 (UTC)
Redirect. Agree completely. --Un focused 02:18, 27 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that there are only three actual pages that link to this one. "Constitution class starship" which I already mentioned and two others that could easily be pointed to "Constitution class starship". AlistairMcMillan 02:57, 27 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect. The starship class is canon, but the actual starship is technically fanon. Somewhere along the line it has been assumed that every class of starship is named for a vessel of that name, but I don't think that's the case. 23skidoo 04:14, 27 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

No vote but it is probably canon if it appeared on the Starship Assignments board in Court Martial; it is certainly quasi-canon, as it has appared in "authorised" publications (Tech Manual; ST Fact Files; it is certainly firm fanon, because it's never been suggested that a class-ship exists without a class-originator ship of that title. --Simon Cursitor 06:39, 27 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect as suggested

Weak redirect as above. If my knowledge of Trek canon is still up to speed, the starship did exist in the series and was the main reason why the Constitution-class (original Star Trek) was so named. I swear I remember seeing the USS Constitution in one episode of the old series. Until I can confirm this I'll go with a redirect. Jamyskis 11:22, 27 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Are you thinking of the USS Constellation from The Doomsday Machine perhaps? AlistairMcMillan 22:01, 28 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- That would be the one. In any case, the page Constitution class starship already says the same thing, so a redirect is probably in order. Jamyskis 10:12, 29 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect to Constitution class starship. -- Lochaber 14:05, 27 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The article is of no use --IncMan 22:06, May 27, 2005 (UTC)
Redirect as above. Even if the starship name is demonstrably canon, there's just not enough to say about for it to need its own article. --TenOfAllTrades (talk/contrib) 22:08, 27 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
