Races of the Mass Effect universe

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Huge, unsourced trivia. Anything meaningful about the relationship between races can be summarized in the main article. Note that there is also a massive article on the Characters of the Mass Effect universe which is also at AfD presently. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 20:39, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Way too much detail on a fictional universe. Belongs on fan site, not encyclopedia. Borock (talk) 23:20, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Split or Delete - Article is too long, and should be split or deleted.--Jax 0677 (talk) 03:13, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. Waay, waaay too much WP:GAMECRUFT trivia that is of no interest to a general reader. There are at least two ME wikis for this stuff. Main articles already summarize gameplay enough. There are good sources about the topic, like (mostly hype and news) and it may even pass WP:GNG, but there is no real reason to split it off the main article (yet at least with so few secondary sources). This should be sourced, brief and in Mass Effect. —  HELL KNOWZ  ▎TALK 13:19, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per Hellknowz and WP:GAMEGUIDE. —Torchiest talkedits 17:53, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep and cleanup or Merge to the franchise article. Agreed that there's too much here, disagree that entirely deleting the whole thing is the best way forward. Jclemens (talk) 02:54, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - no published reputable secondary sources cover this topic. Claritas § 06:05, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and Borock, obviously trivial. Trivias are not really discouraged but this is unsourced. Mediran  talk to me! 11:26, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
