Plot only coverage of a fictional topic. There is a lack of reliable third party sources for this alien race. Anthem 09:19, 12 June 2011 (UTC) Revert AfD nomination of sockpuppet, see WP:Banning policy.  Unscintillating (talk) 05:44, 22 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• KEEP and SPEEDY CLOSE, let a real person re-nominate it if they want, but don't feed the sock puppets. Mathewignash (talk) 18:57, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sockpuppet or not, this seems to be a perfectly sensible discussion, irrespective of the status of the nominator. I propose continuing per WP:IAR. --Crusio (talk) 20:05, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy Keep - per mathewignash.--BabbaQ (talk) 21:58, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Note Anthem of joy has been indef blocked as a sockpuppet of Claritas [1]. --Tothwolf (talk) 02:35, 15 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: The fictional alien does not meet the general notability guideline and as a subject it can only be a plot-only description of a fictional work. The article doesn't provide any reference to back up the content, so all of it is original research by synthesis. Jfgslo (talk) 01:10, 16 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to List of Star Trek races#Sphere Builders, merge content at editorial discretion. I couldn't find evidence of notability, but it is perfectly appropriate for merging in that list. Cenarium (talk) 16:29, 17 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect per Cenarium. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 23:51, 18 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete no independent coverage outside of a plot retelling provided, the episode plot summary is sufficient. Hekerui (talk) 20:55, 19 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
