This page fails the basic parameters as outlined by Wikipedia:Stand-alone lists, is completely in-universe in style and add virtually nothing that is contributory. It's also entirely subjective and open to interpretation, as some of the main characters who appear in the series are Klingons, so we may as well name every episode. I understand this is approached in good faith as an alternative to Template:Star Trek Klingon stories, which is also up for deletion, but this specific categorization needs to go altogether.

Delete as vague and borderline fancruft. Once Worf enters the picture, is any episode not a Klingon episode? Which ones aren't? Does what is basically a cameo in Into Darkness sufficient? Seyasirt (talk) 19:31, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep and expand and clarify. Any problems as described in the nomination statement can be addressed through regular editing. Jclemens (talk) 04:11, 20 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I don't believe that, as the whole basis of this article sounds like a viewer's interpretation and fancruft. DARTHBOTTO talk•cont 07:11, 20 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete- inherently original research, and unsourced. As Seyasirt points out, where do you draw the line between "Story about Klingons" and "Story with a Klingon in it"? On top of that, this list is an overspecialisation. Reyk YO! 07:46, 20 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as list can already be inferred in the individual articles. This is an entirely unnecessary compiling of articles and is useless fluff that adds nothing to expanding the coverage of Star Trek articles. Also agree with Reyk and Seyasirt. —Mythdon 10:20, 20 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as original research. The topic lacks notability for a stand-alone list. K.e.coffman (talk) 19:25, 20 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as vague and borderline fancruft. Since a major character from Voyager is a Klingon (B'Elanna Torres), would every Voyager episode qualify for this? I agree with the reasoning above. Aoba47 (talk) 21:47, 20 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
