 * Merge The consensus seems clear (there was a previous AfD discussion) that the parent subject is notable and that this aspect deserves note, but not as its own article. Candleabracadabra (talk) 03:30, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete. Does not receive significant coverage by reliable sources. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 18:29, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Merge as this is a likely name for a redirect. Diego (talk) 12:25, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Merge & redirect to Snow Crash. No coverage in books or scholarly journals that I could find, and while I didn't spend a lot of time wading through a general web search, I only saw passing references in reliable sources (e.g. NY Times book review), and brief mentions in very marginally reliable sources (e.g. image-heavy website “magazines” that thrive on "top X whatever" articles as click-bait). ––Agyle (talk) 19:31, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Snow Crash, it's been awhile since I read Snow Crash, but from memory these are not a major plot point, just a nifty piece of scene-setting futuretech. I'm not sure there's anything worth merging, to be honest.  Lankiveil (speak to me) 02:19, 2 February 2014 (UTC).
