Yet another article that is entirely plot summary with no indication of real-world notability. This one also has tangential, OR comparisons to real life. LaundryPizza03 (talk) 07:21, 17 March 2018 (UTC)

* Merge and Redirect to Alliance-Union universe, which is the notable topic in this case. Newimpartial (talk) 23:11, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Selective Merge to Alliance–Union universe. A plausible search term, but not enough independent/out-of-universe coverage for a stand-alone article. power~enwiki ( π,  ν ) 19:29, 17 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete Entirely fiction-cruft, nothing to merge that is notable.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 23:17, 17 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Alliance–Union universe. The planet, also known as Pell's World, is the backbone of Cherryh's Alliance–Union universe, and features in a number of her A-U novels, most notably Downbelow Station (Hugo winner) and Finity's End. While inherited notability may not apply here, I believe that the novels, and the universe, are sufficiently notable to warrant, at the very least, a merge. —Bruce1eetalk 08:53, 18 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Alliance–Union universe. Merge "it was the discovery of sentient life that sent shock waves back to Earth, sparking off moral, religious, philosophical and policy debates. Then, to aggravate an already delicate situation, Pell Station became a source of agricultural goods and other luxuries, hitherto only available from Earth. This economic advantage disrupted the whole balance of power in the Alliance–Union universe, and became one of the main contributing factors to the outbreak of the Company Wars in 2300." The rest is in-universe plot details. Also redirect and merge Downbelow to Down Below (disambiguation). Clarityfiend (talk) 22:54, 19 March 2018 (UTC)
