*I have to agree. I've felt for some time now that the information "gleaned" (or inferred) from these patches has gotten way out of control. How do we know that in the ''Trek'' universe the "Schirra" on a mission patch was Wally Schirra, and not, say, Wilber Schirra (or even Wilma Schirra)? We studiously avoid extrapolating everywhere else, so why are we doing it here? Yes, those are actual NASA mission patches, and yes, the writers, etc. were implying a continuity between the NX program and past (real-world) space missions, but '''none of that extraneous information was on-screen or in dialogue'''. This whole mess is ridiculous, in my opinion... there's no way we can justify a [[Teacher in Space Project]] article, or most of the others, from what's on those patches.<nowiki></rant></nowiki> -- [[User:Renegade54|Renegade54]] 13:51, 14 May 2009 (UTC) |

*For the record there is a [[Microgravity lab]] referenced in {{ENT|Cogenitor}}. (All that's stated is that [[Calla]] works in it though) — [[User:Morder|Morder]] 14:08, 14 May 2009 (UTC) |

Deletion rationale
I really think this is going too far. We can't just divine information from a patch other than what was clearly visible on the patch. These patch related pages should all be merged into one page with a single statement. Seriously. It would be like creating an article for Neville Isdell because he happened to be president of Coca Cola at the time when the crew of the Enterprise went back in time to rescue the whales and we happen to see that can of diet coke in the fridge. That's how related all these patch articles are. It's getting ridiculous. — Morder 09:44, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
Discussion
Yes, this "circumstantial canon" thing is just not enough. If we had an on-screen reference to "microgravity", we could eventually keep the rest as background info - but without, delete. -- Cid Highwind 13:42, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
