Cool Cat recently created an article called Starfleet Uniformshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starfleet_Uniforms, and it was nominated for deletion as cruft and OR.
The screencaps/promo photos in the article, IMO, acted as a reputable source. I mean, how else (canonically) are you going to know about the uniform switch between TOS and TNG? Using a book is not canonical, and therefore is surely not [[WP:V]].
But wouldn't that specific example be better handled by an entry in TNG with two images and "As one can see looking at the screenshots, the uniform in TNG differs from the classic uniform of TOS..." than an entire article?
As for fancruft, how is an article about Starfleet uniforms fancruft. In some people's opinion, any article to do with any fictional is fancruft. But is the article on Jean-Luc Picard fancruft? I think not.
Your thoughts?
