The result was delete. Consensus that content is purely in-universe without showing notability, as well as being an unneeded content fork from the individual/series articles. Nosebagbear (talk) 15:07, 30 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable collection of in-universe WP:PLOT only details. The details about one planet being in the top ten of naming a celestial body are completely trivial. There is a main series article and five novel articles, so there should be no issue describing the necessary context of the relevant locations in each individual page.

  • Delete Before looking at the state of the article I was thinking that maybe one or two of these had potential, but not after looking at it. I don't see anything that can be rescued to the series pages' that isn't already covered there in the narrative. --Masem (t) 14:07, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: No one will take up the challenge to repair this should it be deleted. The legacy of this deletion will be a swarm of redlinks. Serendipodous 11:55, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • It would need a full rewrite regardless to comply with Wikipedia standards. But surely fine details about the planets of a fictional work are not super necessary to understand that work.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 12:46, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
