Deletion of Weapons technology in the Honorverse

Comment: a delete per AfD - While I see that a tremendous amount of TLC has gone into these articles the editors involved do not seem to be aware of core policies related to citing references, etc. to establish that the material in these articles is accurate in the context of this fictional universe, is not OR on Wikipedia, is notable, etc. My first thought was a '''reluctant support''' of deletion but I then saw that, other than hatting in May 2008, that there has been no effort to follow . These pages look like excellent candidates for |alternatives to deletion. There have been no talk page discussions to encourage the editors actively involved in these articles on how to bring the articles up to WP quality. If the stuff is truly not for WP then the active editors should be able to see that for themselves once they try to follow the policies and to either employ one of the alternatives to deletion or to recommend that their own stuff be removed from WP. An AfD at this point in time feels like biting enthusiastic editors, whether they be newbies or not

Comment: as neither have any real-world notability.  After a week at AfD and numerous voices shouting to keep these articles, ''there have yet to be any reliable sources added to either article''. They are still only |in-universe fancruft, without any |reliable sources that assert |notability in the real world, as required by . No amount of "cleaning up" can magically create notability if none exists to begin with
