Terran Federation

Nonsense.

Merge and redirect. Above nomination left unsigned by User:200.68.70.105, whom we will nevertheless humor. This is not nonsense, it's fancruft, with the distinctly redeeming feature that it's put into context. That said, the article itself states that "Most of the information in this article is taken directly from the novel in addition to conjecture." Conjecture? Wikipedia is not a place for essays or original research. Merge the relevant "facts" (in this fictional setting) with the main Starship Troopers article (which is lacking in this respect) and redirect. If such merging cannot be done because nobody can separate fact from fiction, just redirect. JRM 20:15, 2005 Jan 30 (UTC)

Merge anything useable to Starship Troopers, and add redirect. Megan1967 01:41, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Vote changed as per above to Keep, but with cleanup and expansion. Megan1967 00:14, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Merge: Put a "history of federation" section on the Starship Troopers page.- B-101 12:19, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Merge the facts to the SST article. ScottM 04:19, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Keep ----68.81.105.166 15:30, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC) Do we have a life. What's the problem with this article. Clean it up and remove the conjecture.
Keep Clean it up as we always do.--Tomtom 15:34, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Keep - We keep sillier and more nonsensical articles, why pick on this one? Can't we clean it up and keep it? Maybe as we go on, someone else will extrapolate further and make it better. As always...--Numerousfalx 16:00, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Keep - The article is just as legitimate as the articles on Starship Troopers. -- Old Right 21:36, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Keep - I'd much rather see this article remain. The subject covered here is too vast to be intergrated in the main Starship Troopers page. Also, the History of the Federation is not part of the main plot of the previously mentioned book. Also, I see no request to delete the United Citizen Federation page (which is considerably smaller).
Keep - Why Terran (StarCraft) may exist and Terran Federation may not? Clean up if necessary. --212.45.8.211 21:35, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)
