This is a minor fictional location that doesn't assert notability. None of the content is sourced and the information is very trivial. TTN (talk) 20:50, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Fictional elements-related deletion discussions.  -- TTN (talk) 20:56, 20 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Transwiki if an appropriate wiki can be found; if not smerge to Cryptonomicon and The Baroque Cycle. This is very in-universe material, and the topic has not gained anywhere near the foothold in secondary literature to justify a standalone article. Skomorokh  20:58, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect to The Baroque Cycle, where it appears (well, is mentioned) more prominently. --EEMIV (talk) 23:06, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep in some capacity as a major and notable fictional location as confirmed on Google Books and Google News. Sincerely, --A NobodyMy talk 00:19, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep like A Nobody says. This looks like it might be non-trivial, for instance. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) (contribs) 01:20, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Stephenson is a popular and critically praised writer whose works mix real and fictional histories, geographies, etc. The elements of his works figure in the extensive reviews and discussions of his works. Articles like this are useful for readers trying to understand the background of his works. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 05:29, 21 September 2009 (UTC)


 * As far as I can make out, there's almost nothing to put in the article that can be verified by independent reliable sources. Wikipedia is not an appropriate host for user-submitted summaries of fiction. Skomorokh  05:33, 21 September 2009 (UTC)


 * I have no real opinion about this one, but I did revert the earlier "merge" as the redirect target didn't even mention this. I searched for the article because of this Xkcd strip. The first google hit led to a redirect to an article that didn't mention the subject... Maybe it can be merged, but then at least it should really be merged and not just redirected. /Grillo (talk) 11:09, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. No significant coverage in secondary sources to indicate notability. Doctorfluffy (robe and wizard hat) 19:39, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
 * merge to a list of locations for the books.   Normal solution.  DGG ( talk ) 02:18, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per A Nobody. ␄ –Iknowyourider (t c) 13:34, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I notice A.N. says "keep in some capacity", which I would interpret as "keep or merge", not "keep"   DGG ( talk ) 08:20, 26 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Merge to The Baroque Cycle and give a mention at Cryptonomicon. Eusebeus (talk) 15:08, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
