Actors in Star Trek and Stargate

I know there isn't a rule like Wikipedia is not Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, but there really should be when it comes to articles like this. It smacks of WP:OR, is unsourced and serves no encyclopedic purpose. Hemlock Martinis 00:13, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

So, actors who have starred in more than one show... shock horror! Don't let the title fool you, this is actually List of actors who have appeaed in both at least one Star Trek episode and at least one Stargate SG-1 episode. This is material better covered by listing in the actors' individual articles, and categorisation in same. -- saberwyn 01:02, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Cites no sources and is of un-encyclopaedic value. Is probably WP:OR. I'm not sure if this is the correct term to describe it (correct me if I'm wrong), but it seems to be listcruft. --RazorICE ^T/_C @ 05:16, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:NOT#DIR #1 loosely-associated topics. However, this is most certainly not original research. All of this information can be easily found by looking at each actor's IMDb page. -- Black Falcon 05:23, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Black Falcon, who put it nicely. Realkyhick 05:42, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete not notable and Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate list of information. Captain panda In vino veritas 03:04, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment the cited policy, WP:OR has been eliminated. Now there is just WP:ATT. Edison 06:26, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Everything thats been mentioned. Why not start an article "Actors that have appeared on both the Tonight Show AND Late Show" —Ocatecir ^Talk 11:00, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong delete per above. If we allow this sort of stuff, we'll open the path for every crazy list you can think of. Pyrospirit ^{Flames Fire} 15:52, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. I actually like that rationale (that Wiki is not Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon) - it should be suggested as a possible addition to WP:NOT. However, that it isn't OR or necessarily unsourced as all one needs is to access the credits for said series. OR means posting brand new information that no one has ever thought of before (in theory). 23skidoo 16:08, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. I agree with Pyrospirit, if we allow stuff like this it will open a door for other wikipedians to do stuff just as crazy or maybe even worse. §†SupaSoldier†§ 16:29, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as arbitrary WP:OR list - and far too incomplete anyway. Agathoclea 13:15, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
