The result was redirect to
Star Control. On the one hand, both headcount and strength of arguments e.g
WP:NLIST or
WP:INDISCRIMINATE endorse the notion that the page does need to go. Seems also like there are valid arguments against merging over content. However, the point that people going to this page should be pointed to some article seems reasonable and there is no specific counterargument; thus redirecting rather than outright deleting.

List is mostly fiction-cruft with no indication that the races listed were mentioned in reliable sources. Wikia-style material. ZXCVBNM (

Redirect to
Star Control. Preserve the history in case any can be merged over. This page got 4,231 pageviews in the past 90 days. So someone coming here and seeing the redirect, might go ahead and work on merging information over eventually.

Redirect to
Star Control. A redirect seems appropriate, but I would not be opposed to an outright deletion. I am primarily suggesting a redirect as it could be a valid search term, and there is a parent article to redirect to. I am not sure if any of the current article could be useful or merged into the parent article as it does not appear that anything is cited with third-party reliable sources.

Actually, if there is no list of characters in the Star Control article, it will just be a confusing and pointless redirect.ZXCVBNM (

Thank you for the responses. Upon further reflection, I agree with letcreate123 and Sergecross73's arguments with
WP:INDISCRIMINATE and
WP:GAMECRUFT. I do not see enough reliable, third-party sources to justify a separate article, and there is really nothing from this article to merge into the Star Control one. My vote is delete.
