This element of fiction does not establish notability independent of its series. Without coverage in reliable third party sources, it is just made up of unnecessary plot summary and original research. TTN (talk) 22:35, 23 September 2008 (UTC) 
 * Merge to the main article for Mortal Engines Quartet. In this case the partial plot summary here is interesting--it gives more information than the main article, which is relatively incomprehensible with some explicit description of plot, and it is much clearer than the overblown and naive plot discussions for the individual novels. (I note its aprize winningseries, and therefore worth detailed coverage, but still in a reasonable way. DGG (talk) 07:54, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Trim&Merge into Mortal Engines Quartet as the main franchise overview article. It can cover recurring elements quite well. – sgeureka t•c 19:12, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. If there is everything information can be added in another article. This article provides no reliable third party sources, i don't it will one day and it's original research. -- Magioladitis (talk) 22:34, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep as unoriginal research and because we are a collection of info.--209.247.22.86 (talk) 00:15, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Wholly plot summary. Protonk (talk) 01:08, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge to Mortal Engines Quartet as relevant to plot summary there. Otherwise delete as not notable for a spinout. ~ Ningauble (talk) 18:43, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ff m  22:08, 29 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge per DGG.   SIS   22:49, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: We need to reach consensus whether to merge first, or just delete. Otherwise the closer may have to keep by default, which seems to be the least favored option so far. ~ Ningauble (talk) 21:50, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
