Deletion rationale
As pointed out on the talk page it is a very subjective term and btw whats the reason for creating this page? In the film business today you can have an actor who is famous because he is in the media today and next year? We discussed another "list", a list about the sexual orientation before and removed the names from the article. I don't think this list is useful and it is different from lists such as Performers who have only appeared on Star Trek and Performers whose scenes were cut. – Tom 07:14, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

- Delete: It seems way too broad and ill-definable. William Shatner has fame from his T.J. Hooker and Boston Legal roles, should he be included? If "gaining fame" first from Star Trek, then Kim Catrall and Kirstie Alley should be removed. Should Scott Bakula be added? Quantum Leap was a popular science-fiction show around 12 years before he was even involved in Trek. How about Robert Picardo? Avery Brooks? Rene Auberjonois? Terry Farrell? Wil Hweaton? They were all quite "famous" before Star Trek, and if they only had one guest appearance people would be familiar with them from other projects first (well, not us necessarily). I can't find any reasonable way to define such a page.--Tim Thomason 07:30, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
