Cool but niche concept from Star Trek. Our article is sadly just a plot summary with some WP:SIGCOV failing development history, no reception or analysis. BEFORE gives me nothing ([1]/ia mirror is just one sentence of plot summary again, sourced to Memory Beta - that's hardly scholary work... sigh). No idea where to redirect this, but if possible, redirects>hard deletion - ideas appreciated. Maybe this will become notable one day... _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:30, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge to Star Trek III: The Search for Spock I guess. This does appear briefly here or there in secondary sources. At that target there's already a bit of background, and that could also accomodate some more commentary like "Earth Spacedock is one of the more stunning visuals in all of Star Trek". As an alternatively target it appears in Space dock#Star Trek. Daranios (talk) 15:12, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge to Technology in Star Trek per nom. This does not seem independently notable. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 02:19, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge to Space dock#Star Trek (Daranios' second suggestion). My argument here is that the term "Earth Spacedock" sounds like a generic space scifi term, so taking the reader to a section on the broader page makes sense. —siroχo 03:43, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge to Space dock#Star Trek - I agree with Siroxo's reasoning here. The term "Earth Spacedock" is a generic enough sounding name that the broader target makes sense as the target. Rorshacma (talk) 01:53, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge to Space dock#Star Trek would indeed be the wisest idea, since it clearly states the fictional world this space dock belongs to. TH1980 (talk) 03:48, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
