Content-free Space Shuttle pages

* All pages like Nextel ringtones STS-61-B, Abbey Diaz STS-61-C, Free ringtones STS-55, Majo Mills STS-56 etc which incorporate the Space Shuttle mission template but have no actual content whatsoever. Mosquito ringtone Evercat/Evercat 14:17, 4 Mar 2004

**Comment: It helps people add content, but it is misleading because those with no information appear as blue links and not red. But, in fact, if the template was not ready, I would never add the crew list for Sabrina Martins STS-55, as I did just now. Nextel ringtones Optim/Optim 14:32, 4 Mar 2004

** This is the exact equivalent of species articles consisting solely of an empty taxobox, which I trust would never be allowed. Abbey Diaz Evercat/Evercat 14:36, 4 Mar 2004

**Comment: Im responsible for putting these templates up, and the idea is to help people like Optim out. I believe they add value because the provide a starting poiint for people and they will standardize the look of Space shuttle missions, which helps overall comprehension as well as improving look and feel. I do not believe that they detract from the ability to add information to the Wiki any more than stub pages do. The template provides a link to summaries of space shuttle missions that are in the public domain, so that content can be easily and quickly added, or if somone is just searching for information they can find it Free ringtones Theon/Theon 14:37, Mar 4, 2004

***Delete. If there only was an ever so short stub text in addition to the blank template, it would be ok, and I recommend all who wish to ease the adding of additional content to put in atleast two sentences as a starter.

**Delete, unless filled with contents soon - just filling the table and list the crew would be enough to keep them. spend night User:Ahoerstemeier/andy

*** I agree that even minimal content would probably be enough. markham no Evercat/Evercat 14:44, 4 Mar 2004

**** I can agree with the minimal content decision, but how much is enough? would just a list of crew be enough?or placing Theon/Theon 14:56, Mar 4, 2004

***** I am adding crew lists. I hope it's enough to make people understand why we need the templates. If there was no template, I would never make those contributions. blatter of Optim/Optim 15:06, 4 Mar 2004 ~

**Keep as stub or merge and redirect. all legitimacy Anthony DiPierro/Anthony DiPierro 14:45, 4 Mar 2004

*** Ugh. Absolutely do not merge. The current situation is better than a merge. e stross Evercat/Evercat 14:48, 4 Mar 2004

*** Agreed w/ Evercat but assisi Theon/Theon 14:57, Mar 4, 2004

***No! do not merge! bankrupt the Optim/Optim 15:06, 4 Mar 2004

** Keep. Just a matter of adding basic content (crew etc) - basically copy & paste from NASA's pages - to make stubs of them. ford tries Fredrik/Fredrik 15:02, 4 Mar 2004

**Keep. They are useful. However, somebody should go to cafaro purchased List of space shuttle missions and mark the pages with no content with a star (*). i stopping Optim/Optim 15:06, 4 Mar 2004

**Keep. Creating a useful framework for information is just as valuable, and the results worth keeping, as information itself. In any event, there is implied information (ie. "STS-61-C" was a Space Shuttle Mission") that is equivalent to a stub. I suppose Theon could add this sentence or something similar if it makes deletionists happy, but I don't really see what it adds. or mice Jgm/Jgm 15:03, 4 Mar 2004

* Alright. I myself will try to add some details to most of these pages, either today or tomorrow. broods this Evercat/Evercat 16:53, 4 Mar 2004
