 * Restore redirect. Nothing has changed from the last AfD, and I don't see any useful sources on Google.  Usually, if a topic has been covered in reliable sources, there's at least something digitized on Google Books.  This is more applicable to Wikia than us.  Also, the article may need to be semi-protected this time.  Since it was closed as "merge" in the previous discussion, deleting it could make attribution difficult (per Merge and delete).

 * Redirect as before. I don't see any RS dealing specifically the fictional technology, not even much secondary stuff outside ot Goodreads, etc. Even a redirect would not be compelling, except that it is needed to preserve attribution from the previous merge. --Mark viking (talk) 21:11, 30 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect and semi-protect per nominator and Ninja.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 00:17, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect per above; I'd agree with semi-protecting it too. Shelbystripes (talk) 16:57, 1 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment while the first nomination statement is reasonable, the second, "No notability outside the Baxter's fictional universe." is not a reason for deletion or redirection. Notability is governed by the number and depth of independent reliable sources, and so ultimately, nothing is notable outside the sphere in which it is notable. No objection to the redirect on the basis of the first statement, however. Jclemens (talk) 04:24, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment as per WP:ISNOT: "Articles on fiction elements are expected to cover more about "real-world" aspects of the element, such as its development and reception, than "in-universe" details."  Onel 5969  TT me 04:27, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Sorry, where is that quote from? WP:NOT doesn't include it. Jclemens (talk) 04:46, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
 * It looks like the quote is actually from Notability_(fiction). --Mark viking (talk) 05:52, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
