• Keep This is similar to the Arrowverse or Buffyverse. Like the latter, it has attracted lots of analysis and criticism from feminist writers and so it would not be a good look for it to be deleted by Commander Waterford. It's easy to find sources such as The Official Guide to the Xenaverse or Whatever Turns You On: Becoming-Lesbian and the Production of Desire in the Xenaverse so WP:BEFORE has obviously not been observed. Applicable policies include WP:ATD, "If editing can improve the page, this should be done rather than deleting the page." Andrew🐉(talk) 15:09, 4 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Another case where WP:BEFORE doesn't seem to have been done. It's pretty easy to find sources talking about the universe of the show (and the fact it's long outdone the show it spun-off from by leagues), along with notable sites. Nate • (chatter) 01:43, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. I am sorry, CW, but I can't help but feel that BEFORE was skipped here. "This article explores the relationship between unmappable lesbian space, the Xenaverse, which is a complex discursive space generated out of the syndicated television show Xena: Warrior Princess" is just one of several academic articles that do seem to look at this topic in some depths. Could you tell us why you do not discuss such sources in your nomination? Did you check them and concluded that they fail SIGCOV or a similar policy? --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:01, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Per reasons above. Northern Escapee (talk) 10:15, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
