Traction City

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Plot element from a series of novels, not independently notable (WP:GNG) for lack of substantial coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the author of the fictional work described. Not appropriate for a merger, as it consists only of excessive plot summary (WP:WAF).  Sandstein  19:55, 27 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Worth looking at Articles for deletion/Municipal Darwinism for discussion of the sources. The journal source discussed at that AfD makes some mention of the wider traction cities concept, if only to provide context. Were we to retain content based on the coverage in that source (which I've argued over there we probably don't need to do: a paragraph or two in a parent article seems to be the appropriate weight for this material) then we certainly needn't split it over two articles (Traction City and Municipal Darwinism).

 * Cut down and Merge to Mortal Engines Quartet - doesn't seem to be notable in its own right. Robofish (talk) 14:28, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Mortal Engines Quartet. It may be searched for, so retaining a redirect is useful. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:43, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge/Redirect into Mortal Engines Quartet, particularly since the series has more than one bad article. We don't know yet what of this excessive material may be relevant for a non-crufty World article. – sgeureka t•c 10:34, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
