Well, three months have passed since this was first nominated and kept for want of consensus. In my opinion it suffers from the same faults as before. It fails our notability guidelines- where are any reliable secondary sources that explain why this subject is notable enough to be included in an encyclopedia? Of the seven sources listed three are utterly useless (what is "Memory" and how do I look it up if I need to verify a specific claim?), two are primary sources and therefore can't satisfy WP:N. The remaining two sources cover paragraphs that are relevant to Bionicle generally and not the various factions and names specifically, and are there only to coatrack the rest of the article: a sprawling, unsourced, indiscriminate collection of excessive detail- fancruft, in other words.
All that needs to be said about the characters and groups in Bionicle, and all that can be justified by existing sources, is a little bit about the inspiration for the names in real-world languages, and the Maoris getting upset at having their language appropriated. That's already in the Bionicle article where it belongs, and anything more would be excessive and furthermore can't be backed up with sources. Reyk YO! 03:47, 30 October 2008 (UTC) reply
