T-Probe

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This fictional machine does not establish notability independent of its series through the inclusion of real world information from reliable, third party sources. Most of the information is made up of original research and unnecessary plot details. There is no current assertion for future improvement. TTN (talk) 01:06, 27 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete The only source I could find is this, which is making a more general point about Herbert's head for detail and how he's apparently used things from his life as inspiration for his stories. But I can't find any critical discussion of this minor plot device in particular.--chaser - t 04:25, 27 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge I'd be happy to merge and redirect this stub elsewhere, as I've been doing with other Dune stubs. However, though it is all in-universe plot stuff, I fail to see the OR. This is the 2nd afd I've seen in which this nominator cites that, perhaps s/he needs to read the OR page again? &mdash; TAnthonyTalk 05:26, 27 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge to a technology of Dune page or somesuch. Yes, this is alot of detail, and I don't recall Dune having a huge list of doodads. Cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 19:58, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't think merging is a bad option, but where to merge to? There are many other articles in Category:Dune_technology, only a few of which are listed on Template:Dune universe. We could create move this into a new omnibus Dune technology article and merge a bunch of articles into that.--chaser - t 01:03, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. No references that prove the notability of the subject. The only references in the article are dealing with the appearances. They only prove the notability of the Dune books and nothing more. -- Magioladitis (talk) 00:53, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge not sufficiently important for a free-standing article, but usable content. The primary source references are perfectly appropriate for such a use. DGG (talk) 02:22, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
