Mostly unsourced or primary sourced information, failing WP:GNG. The 2008 AFD noted that third party sources don't exist or mostly re-tread plot details, but that there are no third party sources. Failing WP:NEXIST is absolutely a reason to delete material and there aren't secondary sources to make this into a standalone topic. There is already an article about The Horus Heresy (novels) that covers most of the same fiction, and has a proper third party reception section, and this article duplicates it while meeting none of our basic standards at WP:NOT or WP:N.

I identified this as a mess at WT:RPG#Pile of cruft. WP:TNT it (and/or subsequent redirect), especially since I had missed that there was an article for the book series. --Izno (talk) 12:56, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - As stated by the nom, the actual real-world elements of this event already have their own articles, such as the novels and some of the games, like Horus Heresy (card game) and Horus Heresy (2010 board game). The sections on the fictional event itself in this article is just in-universe plot summaries that seem to be a mix of using primary sources and WP:OR. A summary of the event, as well as of the plots covered in the novels, is also already present in the article on the books, as well, making this a rather unnecessary WP:SPLIT. Even the lists of products are little more than directories, also just using primary sources. If anyone thinks that anything here is worth merging elsewhere, or that the article name would be a useful Redirect, I'm largely open to the idea. But, I'm not finding anything here that seems worth preserving. Rorshacma (talk) 17:35, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
TNT Delete Per Izno. Possibly userify if any useful information can be extracted._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 20:40, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Though it is a major event in Warhammer 40K universe, the summary of the event/plot has been covered well at the article about the novel.SunDawn (talk) 03:41, 28 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
