this article about a fictional subject cites no WP:RS which can WP:V verify its general notability per WP:GNG. The subjet of the article may therefore be unsuitable for a standalone article. AadaamS (talk) 22:07, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The assertions of the nomination seem to be false. In any case, there are sensible alternatives to deletion and there's a big new Dune movie out next year so now is not a good time to start decimating our extensive coverage of this sprawling fictional universe. It's interesting to discover that Mantis (Marvel Comics) is now described as a mentat and I notice that Josh Brolin will be appearing in that movie... "A process cannot be understood by stopping it."

Merge to Organizations of the Dune universe - Agree that the article currently fails WP:GNG, but this seems a viable place to hold the essential information. --Killer Moff (talk) 10:58, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Organizations of the Dune universe. The sources, outside of the various pieces of Dune media themselves, only really discuss the group in terms of plot summary, with not enough real discussion to really expand this article to anything beyond mountains of WP:PLOT. However, there is a pretty suitable target to merge (preferably much more succinctly) the information on the group to. Rorshacma (talk) 16:12, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Merge as above. I'm going to look for more sources to bolster notability etc., and I'm happy to be the one that actually executes the merge of abridged content into the list.— TAnthony^Talk 16:35, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per the above discussion. Thank you to TAnthony for agreeing to do the merge if that is the final outcome. It is far too early to tell if the upcoming movie will increase coverage on this particular topic. Aoba47 (talk) 20:03, 11 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Merge Article has a lot of useful information and should not be deleted. Alex-h (talk) 09:10, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
