Article previously deleted for lack of third party sources, which means it cannot meet the general notability guideline. Then re-created, and all the same in-universe primary sourced material re-added, and still no third party sources. Shaking my head here, and I can see the absurd humor in all of this, no malice taken or intended. There's nothing here that you can write outside of what's sourced to the author, his estate, and other affiliated / licensed sources. And no significant coverage that could provide an out of universe context, to meet the standards of WP:NOTPLOT and WP:WAF. Shooterwalker (talk) 00:53, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Kull of Atlantis - The article, as it currently exists, cannot stand - its entirely made up of primary sourced plot information. Searching for secondary sources turns up some results, but none of it is really in-depth enough about the fictional period to develop an independent article.  Most of it is merely mentions that the Kull stories took place during this made-up epoch.  There was one promising looking article called "Theosophy and the Thurian Age", but that does not actually appear to be about the fictional age much at all.  Its actually talking about the influences of Theosophy on all of Howard's work, not just the Kull stories, and the title was seemingly chosen more for catchiness rather than because it went in depth at all about the Thurian Age.  All of that said, however, the term would still be reasonable enough as a search term that redirecting it to the main article on Kull would make sense.  Rorshacma (talk) 03:54, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Kull of Atlantis per Rorshacma. A viable search term but not one that is notable enough for its own article.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 17:30, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Redrect if the target article can sport at least one reference to the topic. Delete if not. But I'd really prefer this to be soft deleted if possible. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 04:16, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
