WP:CONTENTFORK of Suspended animation in fiction. Entirely WP:OR save for one primary, not secondary source. _{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 18:19, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect and merge into Suspended animation in fiction; no need for two articles on the same concept, and this one doesn't appear to be grounded in any sources. Honestly, both of the articles are pretty poorly sourced, and are mostly a list of times stasis/suspended animation appears in fiction, but there are at least secondary sources for the latter. cymru.lass (talk • contribs) 18:51, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect and merge per Cymru.lass. ^Semi_Hypercube ✎ 19:36, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Stasis fields are not the same as suspended animation. For example, they can be used to hold objects not people. Anyway, it's easy to find sources such as this or the Encyclopedia of Science Fiction. Andrew D. (talk) 18:14, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Andrew Davidson. Suspending time and suspending biological processes are not the same thing as far as I can see. James500 (talk) 05:53, 16 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Andrew Davidson - the CONTENTFORK argument is clearly unreasonable, given the multiple distinct uses stasis field has (not merely "suspended animation for objects"), and provided sourcing. Nosebagbear (talk) 18:29, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
