Most likely, they'll make a way for people to take over subreddits that went private and have no activity for a while, if there isn't one already. r/StarTrek might get special treatment, or it might just be shunted over into a new general policy like this.

MODERATORS
They do that, and r/startrek dies. It'll be a hellscape and nobody will want to go there anymore.
There'll always be people who thrive in that sort of environment. Very recently someone said he was going to block me because I didn't agree with him on how PIC S3 is 'stupid fan pandering and NotTrueTrek' and instead asked what he would suggest as an alternative if in charge. I.e. some people are in it for the ranting and internet fighting.

They are probably currently interviewing Paramount employees for the mod position.
That's probably a good guess. Either that or trying to sell it to them somehow.
Since they are looking for revenue, selling/renting out is quite likely.
I guess everything connected with Disney will be next.
Though I wonder if reddit is still in the grey zone where they can't really enter a relationship with big media conglomerates because their reputation precedes them.
I mean, big mouse will probably not become involved with a company that hosts a lot of pornography.
Is it possible to delete a subreddit if you were the one that created it? That would be what I would do if it were possible.
No, it is not possible to completely delete a subreddit.
Yes, but reddit can undo it. A little while back, /r/KotakuInAction was nuked by the head mod, who had not been an active moderator for years. He deleted all content and set the subreddit to private. However, since his actions were malicious and the rest of the mods could only watch since he was above them in the mod order, reddit admins removed him from the mod list and restored the subreddit to before the mod went crazy. This is likely the same logic they'll use to reopen the subs, only it doesn't work since it's not the work of one rogue mod, but the mod team as a whole.
Cannot delete the sub but you can nuke the posts, like r/shadowwar did. As long as it's the act of the entire mod team and not one rogue mod, technically Reddit isn't supposed to step in.
Unfortunately, we know that's not going to be the case.
