Blieder Drive

Not notable. I would suggest a merge to one of those other links. NuclearWarfare ^{contact me}_{My work} 01:31, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How is it not notable? I'm in the process of including more references. Wlmg (talk) 01:40, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have citations for Blieder Drive from three novels, one television series, and a comic book. Imho it is a notable article and worthy of inclusion on wikipedia. Wlmg (talk) 04:10, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Notability is not established by primary sources. You need someone unaffliated with the subject to write something significant about it. Doctorfluffy (robe and wizard hat) 05:42, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Non-notable per WP:N. 8 ghits consisting of a few fansites/forums and some spam. Exceedingly doubtful this device has been received substantial coverage from reliable sources independent of the subject. Doctorfluffy (robe and wizard hat) 05:42, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I'd have to agree with the nominator here. The article is about something that appeared in a couple of sci-fi stories over fifty years ago, appeared in one episode of a TV show that's been over for more than twenty years, appeared in a comic series obscure enough that it's not even mentioned on the linked Wikipedia page, and in one novel released earlier this decade. With its extremely weak Google presence, I'm guessing it didn't play a significant enough part in any of those to end up being mentioned by secondary sources.

delete for failing WP:N. For an example of a "drive" that HAS some claim to notability, at least by getting lots of articles in sci-fi pubs and Popular Mechanics, see Dean drive. Edison (talk) 21:15, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
