I am also nominating the following related pages:

As a Stargate fan, it is with regret that I put these two well-sourced yet completely in-universe Stargate technology lists up for a deletion discussion (yes, despite the article name, they are lists). Per WP:NOT, "Wikipedia treats creative works [...] in an encyclopedic manner, discussing the development, design, reception, significance, and influence of works in addition to concise summaries of those works." While sources exist  to write about the role of technology in the series in general or to write a Production design of Stargate article, basically none of these list entries would survive (WP:TNT, because even their in-universe importance is debatable beyond at best being plot devices). Their real-world relevance rests solely on the summary "The Stargate franchise features a lot of fictional technology, which was designed by the art department. The technology draws from real Egyptian objects like the Sarcophagus, Greek mythology such as Atlantis, and ZPMs can be pronounced Zed-P-M or Zee-P-M." (The remaining SG technology subjects Stargate (device), Atlantis (Stargate) and List of starships in Stargate are not as clear-cut, so they aren't part of this AfD.) – sgeureka t•c 08:39, 30 November 2019 (UTC)

 * Note See Articles for deletion/Ancient technology in Stargate and Articles for deletion/Earth technology in Stargate, both of which ended in delete. Also, there are a lot of redirects here after mergers, but all of them are of non-notable in-universe topics from the fancrufty mid-2000s. – sgeureka t•c 09:15, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment Most of the in-use incoming redirects are about the energy-based glossary terms Zero Point Module, Naqahdah/Naquadria, and Trinium. A point could be made to merge these to List of starships in Stargate, but they are still (mostly) in-universe. – sgeureka t•c 10:13, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Total fancruft and Wikia material. Fails WP:LISTN. I created the article, but notability standards were extremely different in 2005.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 11:54, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. Like the series a lot, especially Richard Dean Anderson's attitude, but this is too much, as the fates of the other flavors of technology show. Clarityfiend (talk) 09:43, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - Non-notable minutia that fails to establish notability. TTN (talk) 16:55, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. This stuff belongs on wiki. Sadly, SG fandom seems to be split between http://www.stargate-sg1-solutions.com/wiki/Goa%27uld_Technology and https://stargate.fandom.com/wiki/Goa%27uld_technology . In either case, I suggest this page (pages...) can be transwikid / merged there, as appropriate. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 09:23, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
