Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Unicomplex
I think what's being missed by the keep voters here is understanding of notability. Are the unicomplexes important to the Star Trek universe? Absolutely. Are they mentioned in many places in the Star Trek universe? Yes, no question. But that isn't the point. This project is not Memory Alpha. This is an encyclopedia, and as such we rely on reliable, independent sources to support the notability of a subject. This article fails Wikipedia:Notability.  There are no references, and the only external links are to Memory Alpha pages. This article can't be notable because the universe in which the subject exists thinks its notable. If that were the case, then EVERYthing would be notable enough for inclusion. The keep votes here all rely on the notion that its notable because the fictional universe thinks its notable. The keep votes are invalid, and do not override notability considerations. Further, as  policy notes, "merely being true, or even verifiable, does not automatically make something suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia" We know that the fictional unicomplexes existing in the fictional universe is true. We can verify that it is true. That doesn't make this a valid encyclopedia article. Until recently, this had been a redirect for three years. If the keep voters want this kept, they'd better come up with some reliable secondary sources sustaining the notability of this subject
