The result was redirect to Starship Troopers. This seems to be the favored redirect target, but it can be changed obviously. – Juliancolton | ^Talk 04:06, 27 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This article clearly fail WP:GNG: article about fictional concept referenced to primary sources only. Old 2005 discussion reached no consensus, but 8 years later I think we know better what is (and isn't) encyclopedic. PS. This content may be useful for http://starshiptroopers.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page ; upon deletion they may want to be notified and receive a copy of this article. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:18, 19 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or redirect to Starship Troopers. Nothing special about the planet. It's just a setting, and doesn't even have a major role in the novel. I have done my time with the Wikipedia Service and am therefore entitled to lvote. Clarityfiend (talk) 09:25, 19 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Starship Troopers. There are enough marginal sources out there to merit redirect, but not that talk about it to the extent necessary to pass GNG. --Rhododendrites (talk) 19:15, 19 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect/merge, but to Bug (Starship Troopers). The problem with merging to just S.T. is that there's not just the book, but the films, etc. I agree with condensing the material to a reasonable extent DGG ( talk ) 01:11, 20 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect/merge, Starship Troopers. To politely disagree with DGG, and while his suggestion has merit, Bug (Starship Troopers) article is unsourced and itself up for deletion. I believe the topic of Klendathu is mentioned in enough reliable sources[1][2] to merit inclusion and sourcing at the parent topic if not quite enough for a separate article. After all, this one does not have the same level of independent notability as does Vulcan (Star Trek). Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 08:42, 20 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
