Jokaero[edit]

Contested prod.

Reasoning for the original prod was Minor fictional race with no secondary sources to establish notability as required by Wikipedia:Notability. It sounds like this race is not even that notable in-universe: "minor independent alien race", "occasional indirect references can be found"., which I seconded.

This 40K race is not mentioned at all in sources outside Games Workshop material and only briefly mentioned within it. It's not even clear if these guys are canonical. DGG, who contested the prod, suggests a merge but, even if we could find an appropriate place to merge to, I don't think the Jokaero warrant any more than a one or two sentence mention.

Delete per my original prod. Does not sound like a good candidate for merging. Pagra shtak 03:57, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
merge as should be the default for this. If thought not worth it,then redirect. But not delete--there's no rason why someone who comes across the name and looks in this best known of all sources for games shouldn't at least find out what game it refers to.

Delete. This is an offhand reference that GW may or may not do more with at a later date. This is a footnote of a footnote of a footnote. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 10:11, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The wording of the prod says it all. Fictional race which plays a very minor role and hasn't been the subject of substantial coverage from secondary sources. Doctorfluffy (robe and wizard hat) 20:51, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
