About real-life Earth animals
It has been brought to my attention that some people believe pages about Earth creatures should be deleted, others believe they should stay. This is a complicated matter, and I think there is room for discussion, so I will give my opinion, and I'm looking for other people's opinions.

We currently have pages about humans, cats, dogs, gorillas, dolphins, whales and even eels. I believe these pages are fine only as long as they should be focused on how these species are portrayed in science fiction, and also list down alien species that are related to, resemble and/or are clearly inspired by these animals.

So, for example, the human page currently has enormous sections about real-life governments, religions and exploration that are strongly limited to a real-world perspective, and not at all relevant to our wiki. I think this should be removed, and the page should be trimmed down to only include the "biology" and "in popular culture" sections. Likewise, other pages about real-life Earth creatures should also be about how they're portrayed in science fiction and alien-related media.
