Talk:Tom Corbett, Space Cadet

The images reappeared on the Wiki server so I restored the images.Cokerwr 19:21, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

All the images that accompanied this entry have been deleted by Wikipedia for reasons unknown. I have deleted the dead links since tbey left large, unslightly holes in the text.Cokerwr 22:27, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

There is information under Space Cadet (the Heinlein novel) that should appear under Tom Corbett. I am copying/moving the material from Space Cadet, since it belongs with Tom Corbett, and I hope someone will know enough to verify the information. Zaslav 01:05, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the debate was NO CONSENSUS FOR PAGE MOVE, per discussion below. It's true that there's no policy reason to reserve the main title for whichever page was created first; in this case, using the main title for a disambiguation page seems quite reasonable. -GTBacchus^(talk) 02:06, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Requested move

Tom Corbett, Space Cadet → Tom Corbett — This page was original entitled Tom Corbett, however was moved to "make way" for an article on an attorney general. I beleive the current consensus is that in the case of articles with the same name, the first article created gets precedence. J E Bailey 20:41, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

• Oppose I am not aware of a policy as stated. Some believe the policy should be that real people get preference over fictional characters. I think it may be best to have Tom Corbett as a dab page. -- Beardo 01:14, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
• Oppose. I created a dab for meantime - but: the name of the series is Tom Corbett, Space Cadet, and the article is about the whole thing, not just the character. "Tom Corbett" only clearly refers to one thing: the AG of Pennsylvania. This is a good case for top-line disambiguation - and this is what I propose we continue to have. - CrazyRussian talk/email 00:28, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

• Note - Mr. Corbett is now the governor of Pennsylvania. I agree with top-line disambiguation, or at least a line at the top of this article which says, "For the Pennsylvania governor, please see Tom Corbett." Bill S. (talk) 08:27, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:KPep.jpg

Image:KPep.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Scientific accuracy

The section consists almost entirely of opinion; this isn't a review, please rewrite to include only cited, encyclopedic information and not comparisons to other shows. --Noclevername (talk) 00:46, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

What? No mention of...

...Bob and Ray's "Lawrence Fechtenberger, Interstellar Officer Candidate, brought to you by chocolate cookies with white stuff in between"?

How could you? WilliamSommerwerck (talk) 22:32, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

General Comments

1. No mention of the many guest actors (some later big names) who appeared on the television program. 2. The program was perhaps one of the first to have toy tie-in merchandising in a big way. Take a look at the Sears or Ward's Christmas catalogs for 1950 and 1951. 3. An episode summary with plot lines would be nice.Oldbubblehead (talk) 04:01, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

It should be mentioned that the character of Astro (makes me think of the Jetson dog) is not an alien, but a human, born of Earth colonists who settled on Venus. Can that be entered somewhere? GBC (talk) 23:47, 14 February 2021 (UTC)

Overlap?

In the section on the show's TV history, it has it appearing on ABC from January 1951 through September 1952. It also shows it as appearing on NBC from July to September 1951. Is this a mistake, or did it appear on both networks at the same time? Somebody who knows what actually went on needs to clean this up one way or another. JDZeff (talk) 00:23, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
