There is nothing cited/notable in this article that isn't already covered in the relevant film articles. A redirect isn't really appropriate since the content is spread out over different film articles; not many articles link here so I'm proposing deletion as the most appropriate course of action. - SchroCat (talk) 08:54, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep The group, collectively, is the antagonist for two Bond films, no different from SPECTRE for some of the others. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 21:55, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment Except SPECTRE was in four Fleming novels, (plus those of Gardner and Benson) and in seven Bond films. It also had a fairly important mention in the Thunderball plagiarism case. Aside from that SPECTRE appears in a large number of academic works that look into Bond, something that Quantum fails to do, with their references being largely in-universe. - SchroCat (talk) 12:48, 18 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete (we can put a note on a disambig). Where's the reliable, significant coverage in primary sources? "I think it's important" is no answer. Neutralitytalk 07:07, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
 * That was just my way of saying it meets WP:GNG. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 11:45, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete due to lack of real-world notability but recommend retaining the entry at Quantum (disambiguation), linking to either film. A search engine test shows that this organization does not have notoriety (unlike SPECTRE) to warrant a stand-alone article. Erik (talk &#124; contribs) 17:32, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Mostly WP:INUNIVERSE. The INUNIVERSE detail is supposed to support the real world commentary—of which there is none—and doesn't merit inclusion on its own terms. It is still a valid search term though, so I recommend redirecting to List of James Bond villains. Betty Logan (talk) 05:56, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per SchroCat and Betty Logan. - Fanthrillers (talk) 22:06, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete nothing to establish the notability of this as per the WP:GNG. Need reliable third party sources to WP:verify notability. Shooterwalker (talk) 19:25, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
