Suggest merge of NSEA Protector

I have suggested the merge of that article into this one. Basically that article is a collection of:

a linking of what the ship is and that it's from this film
two unproven theories ("the Protector's registration number...ostensibly alludes to some sort of similar space federation", "...believed to stand for Not The Enterprise."
an uncited fact ("The shape of the ship is based on the combadges...in Star Trek: The Next Generation.")
some meager statistics.
a picture.

I submit that the actual legitimate contents of this article, if they are worth more than a trivia section mention in this article, could easily go in a Protector subsection of this article. TheHYPO

Plot

The plot needs to include more than just the beginning and middle, it should include the end.

Quellek death scene

Added "Quellek death scene" reference to the references section. I'm suprised I'm the only one that picked that up. Except for the wording the scene plays very closely to the DS9 episode. The overall concept is identical, even the camera shots and how the actors are positioned to each other. The characters (Odo-Lazarus, Quellek-Weyoun) are also close in appearance. Rewt241

Checking the dates, the DS9 episode aired before the script was written. DS9 being the only Star Trek series airing at the time, I would guess the writers were watching it for research/material purposes. Rewt241

Robert Gordon

I don't think that Robert Gordon was a writer on this film, as it says in the article, or else the link is wrong.
