One off alien race who has only appeared in spin-off media since. Does not seem to meet GNG or SIGCOV, and a search for sources yields nothing. Pokelego999 (talk) 00:57, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Fictional elements, Science fiction and fantasy, and Television. Pokelego999 (talk) 00:57, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: has been mentioned in-show and frequently in spin-off media and is considered one of the main villains. Regards, Anameofmyveryown (talk) 14:21, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Frontier in Space, their first appearance and only appearance in the TV show. What few sources I can actually find outside of fansites regarding the species is pretty much entirely just regarding their appearance in that single episode. There is no coverage that would indicate that the species is notable enough for their own article. Whatever importance they may have in the franchise (and honestly, it looks like they actually do not have very much at all) is irrelevant to actually passing the WP:GNG.

Redirect to Frontier in Space as WP:ATD, as they are not individually notable as a fictional race. I oppose redirecting to the list of aliens, as I don't believe they are major enough to even merit a mention there. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 06:23, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Frontier in Space, per ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ and Rorshacma. To the argument, by Anameofmyveryown, that we need to keep things that are mentioned and are "one of the main villains" (Tardis Data Core page seems to imply they are only referenced in the tv show twice in 2 throw away lines, in episodes outside of Frontier), that's an Assertion of notability without providing the thing that is needed for WP:GNG, that being sources in third-party WP:RSs.

Delete/redirect notability requires verifiable evidence. There isn't enough WP:SIGCOV in third party sources to support this article. Shooterwalker (talk) 23:08, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
