Fansite-style page full of synthesis, speculation and original research, "sourced" to a myriad Tumblr, Facebook and YouTube sources of dubious reliability and uncertain legality, which at best are primary sources. -- Orange Mike | Talk 20:16, 26 August 2013 (UTC) Orange Mike | Talk 20:16, 26 August 2013 (UTC) reply

Delete - A brief summary of the alien types is reasonable on the current show's main page (there's no SIZE issues yet here), otherwise this is far too much information that weights heavily on primary sources (the show, the game, the social media sites) for a proper notable article. Though recommend that if editors that want to keep this information for a fan wiki to get it transwiki'd before it is moved. -- MASEM ( t) 20:52, 26 August 2013 (UTC) reply

I've notified the main contributor to the article, who will probably be up in arms about this. - Jack Sebastian ( talk) 21:49, 26 August 2013 (UTC) reply

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

• Delete Does not contain enough secondary sources to substantiate its significance. Also, too much of the material is too un-encyclopedic, and too poorly-sourced to be kept. It would be a really great post for a community Wiki that is specific to the game if one exists or on a gamer site Wiki of some sort. CorporateM ( Talk) 18:17, 2 September 2013 (UTC) reply

• Comment - It bears mentioning that, since the series and the game are a shared universe. With that in mind, could some of the information might be sourced to reliable references regarding the MMPORG? - Jack Sebastian ( talk) 01:37, 4 September 2013 (UTC) reply
• Delete as non-notable. Should be moved to Wikia. NinjaRobotPirate ( talk) 01:59, 4 September 2013 (UTC) reply
