The result was merge to UFO conspiracy theories#1990s. The consensus is merge. There are two suggested targets. UFO conspiracy theories#1990s appears the most appropriate as it has held information about the Branton Files since 2005. SilkTork (talk) 10:41, 3 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Merge - I think this probably does meet WP:GNG, but I couldn't find enough coverage to support a full article, especially under the title "Branton Files" which is not used by the three cited books or any other source I could identify. Thus, I would recommend a merge to UFO_conspiracy_theories#1990s. Suriname0 (talk) 20:03, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Relisting. I'd like to see more of an argument for deletion than simply stating WP:N which doesn't explain much about this particular article.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 21:02, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Reptilian conspiracy theory. Not known by this title, but could be retitled to Branton (conspiracy theorist), Bruce A. Walton (said to be his real name) or, preferably, his main work The Omega Files. Realistically, even though there are short section in the current article and here, his reptilian/Nazi conspiracy theory can be adequately summarized from those materials in the existing article on the conspiracy theory. czar 00:20, 2 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Merge as above. There is scant information for this conspiracy theory to rate a stand-alone article. I found a reference to this in Supernatural Magazine where the reviewer noted that Branton claims "...Government scientists purportedly labor alongside an occupying alien force to work out the sundry ways the general population aboveground can be brought under an ultimate totalitarian control, all of which began with a 1947 treaty signed by President Harry Truman – the government obtained alien technological secrets in exchange for permitting the aliens to abduct human subjects for their diabolical research...." The three citations in the article as of this writing are all about different conspiracy theories with no single reference exclusively dealing with this one.
