Currently the article is 100% WP:OR/WP:FANCRUFT (plot summary) based on primary sources (Games Workshop and affiliates). This fictional race seems to fail the requirements of WP:GNG/WP:NFICTION. BEFORE found only [1] (which is the best source I found so far, as it discusses the products real world history a little), everything else I found is much worse - a few pages which are just plot summary recapas and some game guides on 'how to play with Necron faction'. This is interesting but not independent. Overall, I am not seeing much to help this with WP:SIGCOV; even The Gamer source contains little we can salvage outside few sentences about when the faction was created (which can be covered in the main WH40k article at Warhammer_40,000#Necrons perfectly well). _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 06:22, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Warhammer_40,000#Necrons, and perhaps merge a small amount (e.g. a few sentences!) of the relevant content there. This fictional race isn't notable enough to sustain a separate article, as Piotr said above. ƒirefly ( t · c ) 10:53, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect Agree with User :Firefly. I can remember scarabs when I use to play but Necrons I barely remember them. There is some minor coverage in The Gamer, and some other gaming sites but not enough SIGCOV for a separate article.Davidstewartharvey (talk) 15:44, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Warhammer_40,000#Necrons per Firefly, entirely Wikia material that does not demonstrate standalone notability._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 20:22, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect as consensus to WP:PRESERVE. This could be covered in a few sentences. No WP:SIGCOV. Archrogue (talk) 19:01, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
