From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference
[edit] What is this?
Did I post this already? What is this article even about? I have no idea what it references...Logan 5 20:51, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
[edit] IfD archive for Aperception quotient
- This article needs to go until someone can figure out what it's supposed to be about and provide some sort of definition or other canon summary.Logan 5 23:15, 30 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- I vote to keep as long as this article gets citation and formatting, but the term comes from TOS: "Where No Man Has Gone Before" -- in the personnel files. its related to ESP apparently? -- Captain Mike K. Barteltalk 00:16, 1 Jul 2005 (UTC)
- Citing and formatting would only seem to be the beginning. The reference to WNMHGB is there, but unless we can say how it relates to ESP what point does it serve? Logan 5 01:49, 1 Jul 2005 (UTC)
- Hmmm, after doing some checking with my old pal google i've found:
- Google also wanted to change Aperception to Apperception which it turns out is a term in psychology and it means "Perception as modified and enhanced by one’s own emotions, memories, and biases". I think this is going to be tricky to work into anything worth keeping so I vote delete and stick the term itself with all its lack of information under ESP. -- Jaf 02:04, 1 Jul 2005 (UTC)
- Delete and move that small definition to ESP. Kahless 05:20, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)
- I vote one of three things: Delete and Redirect to ESP because it is almost impossible to create and gauge the meaning of a fictional psychological measurement in an article based sole on term/rating ("APERCEPTION QUOTIENT: 20/100"), other than to redundantly say what I've currently changed the page to say, so go there and check out my handy work. That goes without saying that I vote to Keep it, if my changes are deemed acceptable. --Alan del Beccio 09:46, 28 Jul 2005 (UTC)
- I also wrote similar articles on Duke-Heidelburg quotient and general knowledge quotient. --Alan del Beccio 11:25, 28 Jul 2005 (UTC)
