Cachalot (fictional planet)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non notable fictional planet. Article lacks references as well. The article in fact copes information from Cachalot (novel) Magioladitis (talk) 09:43, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete fictional planet with fictional notability. Wikipedia is not a fansite. Cheers, Jack Merridew 13:00, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge to Humanx Commonwealth, lacks notability to justify a stand alone article RadioFan (talk) 14:01, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge - As RadioFan puts it. I'd gander that most of the articles linked here List of Humanx Commonwealth planets would not stand up to scrutiny at AfD resulting in redirects or deletions -- Cabe  6403  (Talk•Sign) 14:06, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment see similar nomination for remaining articles related to fictional planets (and species) in this book series here: Articles for deletion/List of Humanx Commonwealth planets
 * Merge Lacks notability on its own, but would be fine in expository context of the aforementioned list. --Cybercobra (talk) 16:34, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Cachalot. --EEMIV (talk) 17:35, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Cachalot redirects to Sperm Whale--RadioFan (talk) 19:22, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Well DUH! ;-) I mean, redirect to whatever article exists for the base fictional universe and/or originating text. --EEMIV (talk) 19:28, 10 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Merge nothing — anyone actually look? damn near the same drivel is already there (*both* theres). Sheesh. Jack Merridew 06:40, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Humanx Commonwealth. A lack of material to merge does not necessitate deletion.  Eluchil404 (talk) 07:39, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
 * And every made-up planet and word mentioned in a sci-fi book is not a reason to have a redirect. -- Magioladitis (talk) 10:04, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Perhaps not, but it is my belief that every planet which is the primary setting of a book is. Eluchil404 (talk) 18:55, 14 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment I repeat because some people are suggesting merging. The whole text already exists in Cachalot (novel). The new fact is that someone had the idea to copy the text to Humanx Commonwealth. Right now we have the exact five lines in three places. -- Magioladitis (talk) 07:49, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep I would have said merge as usual, but on the basis of the above comment, it would be better to  have it as a separate article, and link from the other locations. In any event there would surely be a redirect, so a deletion nomination is not appropriate. And if there are only 5 lines, perhaps we need to expand the discussion, wherever we put it.

 * 5 lines because someone had the bright idea to copy the text of this article to other places. -- Magioladitis (talk) 07:14, 16 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Cachalot (novel) per WP:N, as this hasn't recieved significant coverage in reliable third-party sources. Some of the other articles listed as potential targets are also on shaky ground.  Them From  Space  16:16, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
