Pregnancy in science fiction

Many problems. For an article that was created in 2003 (spinoff from Pregnancy), it is in a really poor shape. It's basically an unsourced list that is close to failing WP:NOT#IINFO. The inclusion criterion isn't really outlined, and quite entries in the list don't even deal with pregnancy but infertility. With 1000 google book hits, I guess a real article about this topic could be written, like Sex in science fiction (pretty good for all its failings), Nudity in science fiction and Gender in science fiction (both acceptable for a start). Maybe this AfD will create some substance for the article that it failed to include in the past four years. Because without it, deletion can't be much worse. (To clarify: I am not attempting to misuse AfD for cleanup work, but I ask whether there should really be an article when no-one cares to write about it - Dogs in science fiction, Food in science fiction, Music in science fiction,...) – sgeureka 21:06, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

• Note: This debate has been included in the list of science fiction deletions.--Gavin Collins 21:12, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete unless secondary sources are found which discuss the subject (as opposed to discussing specific instances of pregnancy in works which are categorised as SF) and establish its notability. This article is, if not indiscriminate, an arbitrary collection of information. It's one step up from Green spaceships in science fiction. Sheffield Steel_stalk 21:19, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
