Prod converted to AfD Anthony Appleyard (talk) 14:57, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Was prodded "No references, no evidence of notability", but many people likely will come across the word in Star Trek and look it up here. A link is needed from here to the full description http://en.memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Transtator in the Memory Alpha wiki. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 15:01, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as original PROD-er—the article appears to fail WP:N, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". —Granger (talk · contribs) 15:23, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I'm not familiar with Star Trek devices but my searches found nothing to suggest there's much about this. I'm not seeing a target for moving as well. SwisterTwister talk 23:46, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

~~Redirect~~ to universal translator. Artw (talk) 11:52, 26 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Why? Based on the Memory Alpha article, transtators don't seem to have anything to do with universal translators in Star Trek. —Granger (talk · contribs) 13:04, 26 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Fair point, I was thinking if general SF usage, but that's not the only use of the word and then we're into dicdef and really a delete is probably for the best. Artw (talk) 22:07, 26 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This subject is well covered in Star Trek literature. There are many Star Trek fans. Many of them will want to know what the word "transtator" means, and many of those will look it up in Wikipedia. Ultimately, Wikipedia is for people to look for information in.
