Fails WP:NOTE, lack of significant coverage from reliable secondary sources independent of the subject. See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Raëlian Church membership estimates and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Honorary Guides of the Raëlian Movement. Majority of article is sourced repeatedly to "Raelian Contact", some sort of internal organization publication - a primary source directly affiliated with the group. -- Cirt (talk) 15:53, 15 November 2010 (UTC) -- Cirt (talk) 15:53, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The embassy is only being planned. The main article on the Raëlians could include a section saying this is planned, but it doesn't seem that an dedicated article is needed yet. Even though there has been some media coverage nothing very definite is known to provide substance for an article. Steve Dufour (talk) 20:42, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
hmmm - There seems to be enough coverage for a notability stub. Many of the refs in that article however are an to a raelian journal. As it appears nothing concrete has happened yet, I'm almost of the mind that a full artcle should wait, at least until they get some land. Ideas are wonderful. Crackpot ideas are no less wonderful, but need strong sourcing to be in an encyclopedia. --Rocksanddirt (talk) 21:13, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If we do make contact with aliens it would be nice to have an embassy ready. :-) -Steve Dufour (talk) 21:20, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Vision" sounds like WP:CRYSTAL to me, or better yet, WP:HAMMER. Delete per these precedents, analogies, and comments by Steve and Cirt. Bearian (talk) 20:39, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - While there has been substantial discussion regarding the topic, all there is to date is such discussion. Not really sure that is sufficient to keep a separate article; a mention of the discussion could be included in one of the more central articles on the topic. If a building is ever created, or even started, then there might be cause for a separate article. John Carter (talk) 22:11, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
