Delete - it's a
trivia article full of
original research and
fancruft. Many works listed don't use the term "Esper" and have little in common with
Alfred Bester's idea. There's no info about espers (how could there be, when no-one has defined it?), just lists of dubious examples. The articles on
Telepathy,
Psychic and
Extrasensory perception etc give more than enough fictional examples of these sorts of characters.--

WP:FANCRUFT, can't find any secondary coverage. Soft redirect unnecessary since
esper already exists. —Nizolan(talk) 23:35, 11 April 2016 (UTC)reply
Delete as nothing suggests solid independent notability.

Delete. It's a thing, and people do use the term (
[1],
[2]), but I don't see significant coverage in reliable sources.
