This article does not cite any reliable sources which attest to the notability of the subject matter, one of the numerous space marine legions that can used by players as part of game playing. All sources are the numerous codexes (instruction manuals) and Games Workshop-sanctioned expansions. As an individual item or as a collection with other legions, none of these items have any real world notability, nor have any of my attempts to find sources to the contrary borne fruit. The notability of this topic cannot be verified by reliable sources, and should deleted as has been done in the past. The generic subject of Space marines and their use in the game is covered in the article of the same name (although that needs heavy clean-up to make it real world) - so if AFD'd, all articles should redirect there.

I am also nominating the following related pages using the same rationale:
I notice that Dark Angels redirects to the page under discussion here. Given the titular coverage in various diverse published books of that phrase "dark angels", I would think if anything, this article should merge and redirect there, no? In other words, I'm starting to think that we can and should have a totally separate article that addresses Dark Angels in general as a larger, not Warhammer specific topic. --Happy editing!

additional keep reason: sorry to add it on here but a major reason to delete here is that these are 'sub-factions': for the dark angels, blood angels and space wolves this isn't quite entirely so. They have their own codexes and have for some time. Also as mentioned elsewhere there are many novels dealing just with them.-- Him and a dog 13:09, 18 July 2008 (UTC) reply
