Cross generation ship

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This is a non-notable topic with the article apparently consisting of the speculations of the main contributors from the 11th of May 2004. There are no references and I found no reliable sources. Fartherred (talk) 00:17, 24 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Unreferenced, and none can be found with a search. A pretty clear case of WP:OR. Rorshacma (talk) 00:32, 24 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. It's so obscure and ORy, I can't even think of any science fiction stories that employ the concept. Clarityfiend (talk) 02:53, 24 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I don't remember ever reading of this scheme, which doesn't work because of the velocity matching requirements. There have been a few stories where a society has found and "rescued" a multi-generation ship's crew but that's not the proposal here. htom (talk) 04:11, 24 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as WP:OR. Unreferenced, and no references can be found with a search. -- 202.124.74.17 (talk) 11:20, 24 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete A Cross-generation by its definition is the same thing as a Generation Ship as its occupants will never reach the destination. And the term cross-generation doesn't merit a redirect as it is already obscure. The merger proposal has not been responded to on the talk page of Generation Ship, but the current article warrants delete to me.ChrisGualtieri (talk) 17:22, 24 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
delete per nom and WP:OR. ("ORy"? Really? Shouldn't it be "ORly"? :D )- UtherSRG (talk) 10:34, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

ORy, Original Researchy, not researchly. ;) htom (talk) 16:12, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
