This is not, and never will be, anything more than a well-thought-out piece of concept art. While its unveiling attracted a lot of media attention, Wikipedia is not the news and if WP:ONEEVENT can be extended to an article of this nature then it would certainly apply - it is extremely unlikely to ever be heard from again and will be quickly forgotten. If we had an article for every concept design of a spacecraft we would be swamped with them. I cannot see this being notable enough to warrant inclusion, especially in the long term. W. D.

It is more than a well-thought-out piece of concept art. The article should focus on the ideas and concepts that scientists have come up with, for the development of warp travel. It may sound sci-fi, but many scientists have good reasons to believe that it is not only possible (see references to other wiki pages in the article), but to actually provide a concept design, of how a ship with such capabilities could look like. I agree that it may fade in time, and become irrelevant to actual science and engineering of such spacecraft, but it may also be an image of a real thing that people will work towards. Anyway, I'm not an experienced Wikipedia editor and moderator to be citing rules and practices, so I will agree to any well founded decision that will be reached by the community.
