Suk School

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Non-notable fictional school - no significant coverage in independent reliable sources, so fails WP:GNG. Despite the fact that the article is well written, I feel it's essentially fancruft - pure and simple in-universe plot description. It's hence a violation of WP:PLOT.

 * Undecided Interestingly enough Google Books for Suk school finds any number of references that predate Dune, e.g., this one, which appear to suggest Herbert took a previous term and adapted it, as he did with so many other parts of Dune. I'm intrigued, but not in a position to research it more at present.  Are we agreed that if we can add the real world origin of the term that appeared in the notable fictional franchise, we have a keepable article? Jclemens (talk) 00:06, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
 * No. Unless there is significant coverage of the fictional school in reliable independent sources, the article is not keepable. The etymology of the word is essentially irrelevant. Claritas § 07:31, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
 * 'Suk School' also appears to be the name of a few institutions in the Middle East and Asia. Curious. --Gwern (contribs) 18:11 22 June 2010 (GMT)

 * Merge to list of Dune terminology. Shooterwalker (talk) 22:40, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm OK with a merge. Jclemens (talk) 03:37, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Could this be turned into a disambiguation page with a link to the term in list of Dune terminology, are any of those middle east schools notable enough for an article? --Ron Ritzman (talk) 22:22, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
 * There's little significant coverage in reliable English language sources, but they may well be. Claritas § 09:06, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
