This article seems to have a great deal of WP:SYNTH in it as well as WP:OR. It seems pretty inaccurate, on one hand claiming that all of the Matrix takes place in one "mega city" but on the other admitting that the movies and other media make clear references to it being a simulation of modern Earth. The interview it cites as "proof" merely says that the visual design "looks like everything you’ve ever seen, but it’s from nowhere", which means it's supposed to represent an anonymous city, but not within the actual canon of the series, only to the viewer themselves.

There's a possibility that an article could be created for The Matrix (virtual world) or Universe of The Matrix but this doesn't seem like that article, it would need a total rewrite to not be a mess.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 19:34, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Redirect to The Matrix (franchise). The article as written is a humdrum example of OR/SYNTH/fancruft, but the title is a reasonable search term. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 20:35, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Redirecting to The Matrix (franchise) seems appropriate in this case. --TheSandDoctor (talk) 02:40, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
