 * Comment Both the main target of this AfD and the five additional nominations were undergoing the Proposed deletion process and in fact the PROD's on all of them had expired and they were ready for deletion at any time. The five additional nominations can still be disposed of by PROD. However, I was forced to remove the expired PROD from the main target article, so by nominating for AfD, you essentially extended the life of the article by at least a week. In the future, if an article has a Proposed deletion tag on it, don't nominate for AfD, unless somebody declines PROD first. Had this AfD not been started, all these articles would likely have been deleted today. Safiel (talk) 15:53, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Weak delete for the main nomination: fails WP:LISTN: there are only short mentions of this concept in film, most relating to the film Predestination. However, it is of higher-than-normal reader interest, at 2,000 views in the last 30 days. Esquivalience t 17:28, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
 * The rest should be deleted as they fail WP:LISTN. Esquivalience t 17:31, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment If any of this can be sourced, it would be better used to enhance the main articles Predestination paradox or Temporal paradox rather than create a TV Tropes-style compendium of examples. (Since this sort of thing appears in serious philosophical discussions about time travel and causality, it's not unlikely that some examples have reliable sources.)

 * Delete as per WP:OR and WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Wikipedia isn't TV Tropes. ~ RobTalk 17:25, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
