A Star Trek spaceship. --Keene 10:53, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

• A Star Trek spaceship we've all heard of... Kappa 12:00, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
• Keep, also the name of several other famous ships (including an aircraft carrier) and of a rental car company. bd2412 T 21:52, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
  • We don't list names of ships and car rental companies. Time to get our policy on proper nouns sorted out once and for all! — Paul G 10:05, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
    • The "Enterprise" is a class of aircraft carrier. I wouldn't (personally) object to all non-fiction named space vehicles. And the Star Trek name has been used and reused so many times, it is hard to imagine it isn't used attributively. On the other hand, the rental-car company is obviously promotional and should be quickly removed with prejudice. --Connel MacKenzie 18:35, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
    • After the places proper noun vote is finished, we should revisit this class of entry (preumably after the subsequent vote.) --Connel MacKenzie 18:35, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

• Keep - Star Trek is highly notable, and there are a slew of other real-life ships named "Enterprise", as mentioned above - aircraft carriers, steamships, etc. Check out the dab page: [1]. Dreadlocke 06:47, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. As well known (and dear to my heart) as the Star Trek reference is, it's not used attributively to my knowledge. The nonfiction references are even futher from meeting CFI. ArielGlenn 21:02, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Not great definitions (the most common uses of the name is for one ship or another, not for the name of anything, and possibly not for a series of anything), comprising several starships, a space shuttle, and eight US Navy ships.

WT:CFI#Names of specific entities applies, requiring attributive use. I'll betcha at least one will remain if someone applies themself to this. —Michael Z. 2009-03-31 06:03 z

• And remember that citations for Star Trek senses must not be in-universe. bd2412 T 14:39, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
