The article has been unsourced since its conception 13 years ago. It has no obvious encyclopedic merit and merely lists crufty names of various fictional spaceship fleets, usually under some variation of "*** Space Force" or "*** Space Fleet".

While the concept of a space navy might merit a section under Space force#In science fiction, this article has nothing to add. Any space navies that merit an article will go in Category:Space navies. An example of WP:LISTCRUFT and WP:FANCRUFT. _{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 09:29, 15 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep but prune to entries that actually have articles (or at least redirects, e.g. International Fleet). Delete. Every other science fiction work has one or more space navies, so listing them all is not a good idea. I'm also not seeing any significant comparable lists in the (non-fandom) wild.

Delete - not enough notability for Wikipedia. Buckshot06 (talk) 00:49, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete By my count only 2 of them actually have articles specifically about the space navy - Galactic Patrol and Starfleet; the rest of the blue links are redirects to more general articles e.g. New Republic (Star Wars). That's not enough articles for a list of notable things. Maybe some content could be merged to Space warfare in fiction? --Colapeninsula (talk) 11:50, 25 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
