::: I want to emphasize 31dot's position. As for the "point" of this article, I feel it is the spirit of ''Memory Alpha'' to discuss and inform on a variety of themes, to give the world of Star Trek depth. Breasts are an undeniable part of humanoid anatomy and culture (as it is in actuality). They are relevant for costumes, design of species, behavior, medical possibility, the way sexuality is shown and taboo are expressed, and probably many more.

We also have other article on MA, that deal with unpleasant topics such as torture and murder. Do you think those will attract criminals and violent people? --[[User:Taidh|Taidh]] ([[User talk:Taidh|talk]]) 17:41, June 20, 2013 (UTC)

Revision as of 17:41, 20 June 2013

Slang

I see that the addition of "boobs" was reverted, as it did seem like vandalism, but wasn't that word used in Star Trek: Insurrection?--31dot 02:49, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

It was, but given the user's other recent edit's i felt vandalism was the intention. even though it's used in canon one time, the term is still slang, not encyclopedic, maybe it could have some small mention.— Vince47 03:11, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

I agree that it seemed like vandalism, which is why I haven't restored it, but it could perhaps be mentioned as a slang term in a short sentence.--31dot 03:14, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Already mentioned— Vince47 03:16, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Poimt?

I fail to see any point to this page and I fear it will draw trolls and perverts like moths to a light. Couldn't we delete it?

We've had the page for the last 5 years, without any problems. --Jörg (talk) 16:27, June 20, 2013 (UTC)
