List of clichés found in science fiction literature

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Original research, no references or sources. Should be deleted per the precedent established at this previous "Fictional cliché" list debate. The consensus there was that the article was purely uncited original research, and therefore did not belong in Wikipedia. This article here appears to have exactly the same attributes, and should probably be removed entirely. It's been around for ages with nobody interested in fixing it.--Folantin 13:51, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete Actually, it's not "original research". Indeed, it's not very "original" at all, citing five examples from a book, and therefore its rather "unoriginal research".  Although "unoriginal" is not an insult here on Planet AfD, five examples taken out of a book is not very interesting.  Thank you for citing the book, however.  Suggestion: new articles are subject to deletion.  Instead, watch a episode of, say, Battlestar Galactica, like the '78 classic "Lost Planet of the Gods".  As you know, watching TV is very research intensive, because it takes 40 minutes; and, by definition, it isn't original research.  This is better than looking in an encylo-whatchacallit.  Then, write down five cliches that you see, edit the article about the episode and list the cliches there.  Your work will be read by millions, nominated by nobody, and will live there forever, guaranteed.  Happy researching! Mandsford 15:51, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete. Even though this article has been around for a while, it is a very small subset of the Film and television clichés article that was recently deleted, which contained a section about Science Fiction. Its AfD consensus was that the article was purely uncited orginal research, and therefore did not belong in Wikipedia. This article here appears to have exactly the same attributes, and should be removed entirely. — Loadmaster 16:06, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete for all the reasons previously cited (except the giant mutant ants). -- Orange Mike 13:15, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom., and all (including the giant mutant ants!)--JayJasper 19:15, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
