Cylon Raider

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Fancruft, too specific for an article of its own. (doesn't meet notability guidelines on its own) Should be adequately covered in the main article. Prod was contested by an SPA. Prodego talk  01:45, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep plenty of Google News references, and numerous references in books.  Granted, the article is mostly focused on plot, but when Cylon Raiders are compared to modern U.S. drone weapons, it's clear that the fictional element has made a lasting impression on the real world and established independent notability.

 * Keep there is enough secondary coverage. - Cavarrone (talk) 20:52, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete this neatly fits in in the Battlestar Wiki but not here as there is no real world relevance. You might update the related articles there with the content of this one as they are rather short. SpeakFree (talk)(contribs) 01:46, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
