This article is nothing but a thinly disguised "List of fictional landships" spinoff article. Most of the article is an unsourced WP:OR list of different fictional landships. When that is removed the article becomes pointless, and actual referenced info can easily be added to the article Landship. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 17:24, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: By reading the past discussions I can see why the content was originally split from the Landship article. However, most (all? I could not find anything that is related with the topic from the two given references) of the content here is unsourced original research. Perhaps WP:TNT is the solution here... Deletion is not cleanup, but any cleanup would make the article pointless as stated above. Ceosad (talk) 18:58, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, no such article like this anywhere else on Wikipedia: Fictional cat (redirects to a list page not about fictional cats as a topic), Fictional board game, nothing. There is no indication that the concept of a fictional landship differs significantly from real landships or why these elements are considered landships. If this is a list, then the correct name is List of fictional landships. And, as noted above, is largely unsourced and original research. 165.91.13.28 (talk) 17:58, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to landship, trimming appropriately, per WP:ATD-M. Neither the nom nor any above participant explains why this is unworkable (indeed, the nom advocates it!) and it is the policy-preferred option. Jclemens (talk) 20:19, 16 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
