Elysian Space Navy

Entirely in-universe trivia and plot summary. Apparently, removing lists of make-believe orders of battle and damage counts as "gutting and destruction" -- if such trivia is so essential, probably the entirety of the article can be excised. "Real world" informaiton is grammatically incoherent speculation and original research. Beyond that, this article merely regurgitates a section of plot across two books; per previous AfDs at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Second battle of Hogwarts and Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Battle of Hogwarts (2nd nomination), and AfD-less consensus for Battle of Yavin IV and Battle of Endor, this content is unnecessary. So, to sum up, this article fails WP:PLOT, WP:IINFO, WP:RS, WP:GNG. --EEMIV (talk) 19:49, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

I have transwikified this article to http://honorverse.wikia.com/Elysian_Space_Navy. I don't think it is core to Honorverse, and thus can be deleted, but I wonder if there is any way we can redirect people searching for "Elysian Space Navy" on Misplaced Pages to http://honorverse.wikia.com/Elysian_Space_Navy ? --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 21:35, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
I'm pretty sure Misplaced Pages doesn't do soft redirects to Wikia pages, but an external link can be included for the texts in which this group appears. --EEMIV (talk) 13:29, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Delete entirely unsourceable via independent reliable sources, this article is an original essay about a fictional navy that is not notable separate from the books in which it is mentioned.Bali ultimate (talk) 13:23, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
either Merge per 70.29... above OR Keep. The ENS is part of a significant event in this universe, not trivia. The content should be preserved on WP, lest the tidying impulse do our Gentle Reader (for whom we are all working, and for whose benefit all those policies exist). This series is significant and notable (multiple best sellers, an active discussion list (on the publisher's site), multiple writers participating in writing in the universe, ...) and so the question is whether this particular article usefully adds to the coverage on behalf of our Gentle Reader. As may be seen from my vote here, I think that it does, though I'm wiling to see it merged into a larger rubric article. Do not blithly delete. ww (talk) 16:59, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Delete — Beyond the lede, which is surely stated elsewhere, this is an indiscriminate list. This whole lot is unsourced beside fanish-sites. Our whole walled-garden of Honorcruft is an unencyclopædic mess that is more appropriate for a fan-wiki. Cheers, Jack Merridew 05:25, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Since this is fiction, the Honorverse template provides the references. Debresser (talk) 10:05, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Delete per above. Oppose a merge as that article shares the same problems as this one. I don't see why a List of nonnotable entities suddenly gains any notability unless the list itself is notable in the real-world. Them From Space 04:39, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
