Redirect

[edit]

I've redirected this page. It is entirely unreferenced and there is no indication of or claim of notability. Ghits are SFI web sites, then this article, and then mirrors -- i.e. doubtful signs it has been covered by third-party sources. --EEMIV (talk) 17:04, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

John Bradbury

[edit]

Is there any rationale for listing John Bradbury as a guest, special or otherwise, at this event? To suggest that he matters in any way similar to the franchise actors or actual astronauts is laughable (or delusional). Furthermore, considering his close involvement with the fanclub, wouldn't his attendance be, I dunno, kind of expected? Unless he has some significance outside of the club, he doesn't warrant mentioning here. --EEMIV (talk) 17:46, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

He founded the club that later evolved into SFI but he hasn't been an active member of the organization in decades. His importance to the organization is unquestioned and that he's only been to two of these events illustrates that his appearance at one is of note, relative to this event. - Dravecky (talk) 19:37, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I also want to point out that Bradbury's creation of STARFLEET (the legal name for the association) also lead to the establishment of several other Star Trek Fan Association, including Starfleet Command (which also claims Bradbury as it's founder) and the International Federation of Trekkers (which some of it's founding officers claim to be former members of STARFLEET). This is document on the "History of STARFLEET"[1] website, the narrative on the history of STARFLEET: The International Star Trek Fan Association.--Admhawk (talk) 18:25, 22 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Can you substantiate any importance outside the club? If not, his presence is immaterial to the real/outside world and doesn't warrant inclusion here any more than any of the club's ex-presidents, -admirals, -deck swabs, etc. --EEMIV (talk) 20:37, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
He's not a fictional character. His importance in an article about a real event as a special guest of that event, as noted in the Charlotte Observer, is more than sufficient for the brief, properly-cited mention as it currently stands. - Dravecky (talk) 22:28, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Some trims and cleanup

[edit]

The bulleted list is looking a little scraggly, so I tabularized it. It strikes me that the hotel venues are mostly clutter, so I didn't include them in the transformation. I also removed a paragraph in the main body that boils down to "COVID happened, so we canceled or deferred an event, and then did it the next year. And the next year. etc." --EEMIV (talk) 17:50, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question re. notability

[edit]

Just going to ask this here: seeing as how the parent organization itself was merged into the broader Trekkie article, I do wonder the parent organization's event meets Wikipedia:Notability. I'm too disengaged with the broader Wikipedia to feel comfortable with a bold redirect these days, but I offer the nudge/question for folks with a better grasp of the current community's expectations for standalone GNG. --EEMIV (talk) 17:53, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
