A non-notable fork of Foundation universe. This one has an abundance of material without proper references making it unsuited for an article and appropriate for deletion. WP:BEFORE indicated that Foundation universe might be a broader topic with some WP:SIGCOV. Jontesta (talk) 16:49, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Foundation universe, mostly WP:ALLPLOT with lackluster context of why it is independently important from the universe itself. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 20:05, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Foundation universe - Almost entirely made up of overly detailed, in-universe plot information on one part of the Foundation series' setting. There is no indication that a split article is necessary, and the topic would be best covered as part of the article on the Foundation universe's overall plot and setting per WP:NOPAGE. What little there is here that is non-plot summaries and sourced to material aside from the books themselves is not great, and I don't see anything worth merging, but Redirecting would preserve the history if anyone thinks something should be moved over.

Merge selectively to Foundation universe. While I mostly agree with the comments above, I see a few bits of commentary which should be preserved, like the history of the Galactic Empire being a "repetition of the history of Western Civilization", criticism of descriptions of landscapes, Trantor being satizied in later works, ...

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Redirect or selective merge per Rorshacma. It looks like it's redundant with Foundation universe. Editors can decide what's appropriate for the one article, but it doesn't need a split. Shooterwalker (talk) 01:09, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
