Talk:The Faded Sun Trilogy

Characters section needs expansion
I have only read the first book of the trilogy but it seems to me that the character list for the article only covers that one book. Koala Tea Of Mercy ( KTOM's Articulations &amp; Invigilations ) 15:08, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

Merge from Mri (fictional alien species)
I have serious concerns whether Mri merit a stand-alone article (due to failing WP:GNG). Recently User:Waxworker prodded that article, and User:Bruce1ee deprodded it adding some potential sources. Unless someone feels like converting the potential sources into a section that establishes notability (which, I note, Bruce has done recently at Alliance–Union_universe), I'd suggest redirecting Mri here, with no objection to merging everything (even through right now, Bruce sources aside, all we have is pretty much WP:FANCRUFT/WP:ALLPLOT...).

 * @Bruce1ee I redirected this to Alliance–Union universe, sentient species section. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 09:56, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

John Campbell quote
The introduction contains the following sentence: Both the mri and the regul fulfill John W. Campbell's dictum of "show me a creature that thinks as well as a man, or better, but not like a man."

A citation is given for the sentence, but it's from the introduction to a Larry Niven book. It's not clear if that source argues that Cherryh's fictional species meet Campbell's formula or if it is simply a source for the quotation in question. If anyone is able to verify the text of that introduction, that would be appreciated. Handpigdad (talk) 04:39, 23 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Ah, the introduction in question is available on google books and it doesn't seem to directly comment on either Campbell's statements or Cherryh's book. I am removing the sentence from the article, as it appears to be original research. Handpigdad (talk) 04:43, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
