Talk:Neural parasite (23rd century)

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

I suggest renaming this page to "Denevan neural parasite". That seems to be the convention for naming these creatures. Alex Peckover 08:39, Aug 31, 2004 (CEST)

The problem is they aren't Denevan. Deneva was only the last stop in a pretty sizable array of planets infected over a long space of time. Same with the TNG neural parasites, we know neither monster's origin -- Captain Mike K. Bartel 15:37, 31 Aug 2004 (CEST)

Fair point, it's just that "Denevan neural parasite" is what the Encyclopedia calls them. Alex Peckover 16:03, Sep 3, 2004 (CEST)

Maybe Beta Portolan neural parasites, since that was the first planet they hit? --Steve 23:48, 19 Nov 2004 (CET)

Whatever the case this name is not suitable as long as the TOS qualifier (re: pov) is on it, perhaps Neural parasite (23rd century) would be better? --Alan del Beccio 07:06, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

I'd support using the timeframe as Alan suggests, even though it is still pretty suggestive to pin down these possibly long-traveled creatures. Another option would be to merge the pages back into suptopics of neural parasite. -- Captain Mike K. Bartel^talk 07:10, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

The Parasite is from a single cell organism, that is part of a larger organism. That is to long for a name, but I feel like the best name is somewhere in there. --TOSrules 07:20, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
