Interstellar Concordium (2nd nomination)

This is the second nomination, the earlier afd did not result in a consensus. The article is about a fictional "union of several sentient races" in Star Fleet Universe, which in turn is some sort of offshoot from the Star Trek fictional universe. I think that while Star Fleet Universe may be notable, a nation within it is not - and unsurprisingly, there are no significant coverage in reliable third party sources that are independent of the subject to be found. Hell, the references listed seems to be in-universe themselves. If it has to exist, it would probably be better off with a deletion anyways - the current article is written mainly in-universe, unreferenced and uncited, and not in accordance with the Manual of Style. Finally, I'd like to comment on the previous AfD - while there perhaps wasn't any consensus to delete, there was definitely consensus to not keep. Jobjörn (talk) 15:18, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, I nominated another similar article in the same fictional universe: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lyran Jobjörn (talk) 22:18, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete — non-notable, unsourced gamecruft article. Cheers, Jack Merridew 15:22, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge as described above under "Lyran". All the SFB/SC races should go to one page. And Jack, don't forget that WP:CRUFT isn't a reason for deletion... Hobit (talk) 20:47, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge OR Redirect to Alpha Octant, where all the factions are listed and briefly described. -- saberwyn 22:08, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I'd rather see the creation of List of races and factions in the Star Fleet Universe and the deletion of both Alpha Octant and Omega Octant (but I will wait with proposing the deletion of these two until this afd and this one are closed (and of course I'll only proceed if the result is delete/merge/redirect)).

Delete as this article's content is almost exclusively made up of in universe plot summary, and has no primary or reliable secondary sources to demonstrate the notability outside the role playing game from which this fictional confederation is derived. This article belongs on a fansite, not Wikipedia. --Gavin Collins (talk) 10:28, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete, possibly merge as above. No secondary sources, but if the existing primary sources could be converted to inline refs the content might find a home in another article. Percy Snoodle (talk) 11:32, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge The info. on this article seems legitimate enough to be absorbed into the larger article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kurowoofwoof111 (talk • contribs)
