In-universe fancruft pertaining to a series of novels. Fails MOS:REALWORLD and WP:GNG with no discernible coverage of this particular subtopic in third-party reliable sources. Such content is better suited to fan wikis. Sandstein 21:26, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Honorverse. Dream Focus 23:40, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Partial merge into Honorverse. I would be willing to do the merge. Debresser (talk) 17:30, 1 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I oppose a merger because the content still fails MOS:REALWORLD, is not reliably sourced, and should therefore not be merged. Wikipedia is not a fancruft repository, in this or another article. Sandstein 16:50, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, with no merger. Other than treecats (and genetically modified humans, which are nowhere in the Honorverse referred to as "alien" as far as I can recall), none of the examples are given more than passing mention. Clarityfiend (talk) 08:34, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete since there are no sources verifying the independent notability of the subject. It's a purely unsourced text, the result no doubt of personal enthusiasm and seemingly hard work, but Wikipedia is not a place for fans' loving entreaties. We cannot merge away anything: When a text is unsupported by references to outside sources, we do not dump it elsewhere in Wikipedia; we delete it. -The Gnome (talk) 09:17, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - As already mentioned, the article contains nothing but completely unsourced, in-universe WP:PLOT. Simply merging unsourced information from one article to another article does nothing to solve either of these problems. Rorshacma (talk) 16:28, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
