Idiran–Culture War

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fictional event that fails WP:NFICTION/GNG. Pure WP:PLOT. Prod removed by a new WP:SPA. So, time for a discussion here. Not proposing a redirect to the relevant book as I don't think it is a plausible search term. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 07:33, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete — ridiculous fancruft.--Jack Upland (talk) 08:23, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - The Heilman reference seems solid enough but there isn't anything else, and as such this fails WP:GNG. FOARP (talk) 09:19, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
 * There's other material beyond Heilman, though. Simone Caroti spends a large part of the chapter "The Culture Militant" (The Culture Series of Ian M. Banks: A Critical Introduction, McFarland, 2015) digging into the Idrian–Culture war and its significance and how it relates to space opera in general. I have started (but more needs to be done, of course) adding a analytical section, to bring it into the wider perspective of relevant cultural impact rather than an in-world description of events. /Julle (talk) 21:56, 24 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete or redirect. The current "Analysis" section seems too trivial as of now. TTN (talk) 23:00, 25 November 2019 (UTC)
 * I concur, but said analysis should be merged to the relevant book (CP), ping User:Julle. Would be a shame if it was deleted (oc I mean the analysis two-sentence paragraph, not the entire article). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 03:24, 26 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. Pure plot, fails NFICTION/GNG. Kacper IV (talk) 09:29, 26 November 2019 (UTC)
