Mind (The Culture)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

This is a type of artificial intelligence that occurs in a science fiction novel series. On its own, this topic is not notable because it lacks substantial coverage in independent reliable sources (WP:N). This content should not be merged anywhere because it is unsourced, reads like original research (WP:OR) and consists only of excessively detailed plot summary written in an in-universe style (see WP:WAF).

 * Keep. I've added what I believe to be more than sufficient independent reliable source citations to this article to meet the GNG.  There's plenty more coverage out there, so if anybody doesn't like it I can keep going. —chaos5023 (talk) 04:46, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep - the provided sources look like more than enough to satisfy WP:GNG. §everal⇒|Times 17:23, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep, with congratulations to Chaos5023 on his/her sourcing of the article - the Minds more or less have to be considered in depth in any detailed discussion of the universe of the Culture novels, but the discussions, while existing in some numbers in reliable sources (Chaos5023 is definitely right in saying there are more out there), aren't necessarily easy to find on a cursory Google search.
