Killer Klown

Delete - The alien species from the film Killer Klowns from Outer Space is not notable independent of the film. There are no reliable sources that attest specifically to the notability of the fictional species itself as all sources discuss them solely in terms of the fiction from which they are drawn. The bulk of the information is unreferenced and most of it probably constitutes original research. Another big chunk of it is nothing but a rehash of elements of the film's plot. What little information that is sourced comes from reviews of the film that do not establish the independent notability of the species, non-reliable blog posts, the official Killer Klowns from Outer Space website (which is not a secondary source) and the KKFOS wiki. Fails WP:PLOT, WP:GNG, WP:FICT and probably a bunch of other policies and guidelines that I'm forgetting about. Jerry Pepsi (talk) 08:35, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Killer Klowns from Outer Space. Not independently notable.  The nom basically says it all.  The film is eminently notable, but the klowns themselves, despite their cult appeal, are not.  The best this article could do is collect snippets of reviews that highlighted the appeal of the puppets, and that can be covered quite well in the main article.

 * Killer Klowns already exists as a redirect. Jerry Pepsi (talk) 08:30, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
 * So it does. Well, another redirect can't hurt; deletion is fine, too.  This sort of content really belongs on Wikia, where they don't care about notability or sources.  There may even be a Killer Klowns from Outer Space wikia already. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 17:37, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
