Objects of His Dark Materials

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

List of non-notable fictional objects. All original research and only one reference to a fan site. Ridernyc (talk) 04:22, 25 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I compiled this list from several separate articles due to lack of notability for items. I don't object deletion of the list either. Mostly covered in the books articles. --Tone 10:49, 25 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete as original research. LibStar (talk) 06:06, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It's not entirely original research, and some of this content could usefully be merged to His Dark Materials.—S Marshall T/C 11:39, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into His Dark Materials. Fails two of three purposes of lists because of limited usefulness in navigating the topic, and limited opportunity for expansion. Any information should be rolled into the entry for the novels, if it's not already there. Liberal Classic (talk) 11:56, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: The fictional objects do not meet the general notability guideline and can only be a plot-only description of a fictional work. As a list it also doesn't meet the criteria of notability for stand-alone lists and, since it falls into what Wikipedia is not, it also fails the criteria of appropriate topics for lists. And, since the article only has one reference, the majority of the content of the article appears to be original research by synthesis. Jfgslo (talk) 14:11, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per WP:ATD. Jclemens (talk) 04:22, 4 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete- This content is essentially unreferenced, sourced only to a fansite of dubious reliability. Those advocating merge need to tell us A) what content they think meets our content policies, and B) how the merge target would be improved by including it. Jfgslo has outlined very well why this article should be removed. Reyk _YO! 07:24, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: due to lack of significant coverage to WP:verify notability and to make this something other than mainly WP:JUSTPLOT. Shooterwalker (talk) 03:06, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
