Sci-Fi is supposed to be a disambig but it's written like a definition only page (which is probably why it has ~500 wicks)
When I brought this issue up to the TRS general discussion thread, redirecting the page to Science Fiction was suggested and that seems to be best course of action.

It's disambiguating between Science Fiction and a text paragraph of "Science Fiction but with complaining".
Yeah just merge with Science Fiction.

"That's right mortal. By channeling my divine rage into power, I have forged a new instrument in which to destroy you."I definitely agree with making this a redirect.

Kirby is awesome.Redirect to Science Fiction and move the argument over the definition to Analysis.Science Fiction.
Yeah, we don't need the lengthy "Science Fiction but bad" stuff. Make redirect to Science Fiction
Sure to that as well.

Merge
Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure PurenessRedirect, and sure to moving the content to Analysis.
I don't have a strong opinion on moving the text to Analysis.Science Fiction compared to redirecting the page, but I also don't think it needs a formal vote like merging since making an Analysis page is a free action, so I guess we can go ahead and do that when making the redirect.
Edit: If I'm the one who calls this thread, I'll probably go ahead and move the text there when redirecting the main page. If it's determined that we don't need it further down the line, it could be cut if anyone has an argument against keeping it.

Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.This is definitely a relic of the Wild West days of the wiki where someone could put up what amounted to an Urban Dictionary or Devil's Dictionary-style definition for an otherwise seemingly innocuous term. Doesn't seem like it's changed much since 2006. It's possible the "bad science fiction" definition was already a thing, but that might just merit a brief note in the description of Science Fiction.
Crikey, is that still a separate page? Merge the funt out of them.
