Unlike Bene Gesserit, the lesser known Tleilaxes are much less notable - in fact, I think they fail WP:GNG (hence this AfD). The article is a plot summary referenced to the novels; my BEFORE is not showing anything good to save this. While we could redirect this to Organizations of the Dune universe, it would be just pushing the problem a little down the line, as I doubt the Organizations... article is encyclopedic, either. Perhaps a better redirect would be to Heretics of Dune, the novel in which they play a major part. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:24, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Heretics of Dune. I could not find any reception for the group. I am surprised that articles like these stay around for so long. QuicoleJR (talk) 15:30, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Update: I would be fine with a redirect to Organizations of the Dune universe, which recently survived AFD. QuicoleJR (talk) 13:34, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge/Redirect to Organizations of the Dune universe, where a couple paragraphs will probably suffice. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 17:16, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per Rhododendrites into Organizations of the Dune universe, but also List of technology in the Dune universe. Smaller entries for most of these topics already exist in those lists and link back here, which I'm happy to take care of.— TAnthony^Talk 18:40, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per TAnthony. I am neutral on the target, and whether to WP:PRESERVE elements that are given WP:DUE coverage in reliable sources. That can be determined after the redirect, through further editing. Shooterwalker (talk) 23:57, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: I question a Redirect/Merge to Organizations of the Dune universe as that article has been nominated for AFD deletion as well.

Weak delete (or redirect to Heretics of Dune): The article's subject isn't really all that notable, but the article itself is fairly well-written and well-researched. —theMainLogan (t•c) 09:06, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Well, Organizations of the Dune universe has been Kept in its AFD discussion but we now have two different Redirect/Merge targets being suggested. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 02:14, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

My plan is to split the article up, merging content from the Plot section into Organizations of the Dune universe#Bene Tleilax and the Technology section into List of technology in the Dune universe. I'm working on the character list merges at the moment but this one will be next.— TAnthony^Talk 14:31, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
