Declined speedy to contested prod to AFD. This is an article about a book based on the StarCraft video game. It has no references other than the book itself and an ebook that appears to also be fiction. There's nothing here to establish notability of the book and no reliable sources for analysis or critical commentary. It is a plot summary of a non-notable book and should be deleted.

- Delete It looks more like a magazine published short story than a book to me. My understanding is that it would only be notable apart from the magazine itself if it had generated some commentary in reliable sources. That does not appear to be the case. The first google hits pertain to the wikipedia article and its mirrors, and it's hard to isolate mentions of this work from other incidental positives.

- Delete: It is a magazine short story, and as much to the point, the article consists of a spoiler summary that (with a six page story published in a digest-sized magazine) must be a full third the size of the original. This spoiler is the article's sole content, and so violates WP:WAF. RGTraynor 13:05, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge along with StarCraft: Revelations to the appropriate article on Starcraft. I'm not sure if it's that page or Starcraft universe, but I can accept that it belongs somewhere, just in a less extensive form. FrozenPurpleCube 15:29, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge into Starcraft universe. The main Starcraft article should be reserved for the game itself. Torinir ( Ding my phone My support calls E-Support Options ) 22:44, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
