Talk:Alien artefact

Deletion
The key problem with the survival of this article is its obvious bias. I assume the article means by alien the word extra-terrestrial. But that doesn't really work for us here at Tardis, because our perspective on writing articles is supposed to be neutral. Alien in the sense this article uses it is anathema to our core principles, and thus it should be deleted. I mean, is this article really meant to be about everything that is alien to anyone in the universe? There are various junk dealers seen in DWU stories, such as COMIC: The Collector. Would things from Earth not be alien artefacts to the titular character of that story? In The Doctor's Wife, aren't the contents of House just alien artefacts? But would the TARDIS components be "alien" to the Doctor? More to the point, isn't everything on Earth — the entire contents of the planet, an "alien artefact" to the Doctor? Isn't all of Gallifrey, even her husband, an "alien artefact" to [[Leela?

Moreover, the term artefact describes something of antiquity? What is antique in a universe that has time travellers?

Finally, the article never establishes the use of this term in DWU sources, anyway. It's lead seems to be written based upon zero research of the DWU, and is, rather, just a general overview of what the original editors thought might be a vague definition.

I'm all for trying to write articles about general nouns, but I don't see how this can possibly be written in such a way that actually makes sense in the DWU. 23:06: Sun 21 Apr 2013
