- The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
The result was delete as unsourced, unverified original research. As it is original research here and would likely remain that way if split into the many different individual novel articles, there's no reason to keep it since it would continue to violate some of the most basic policies and guidelines here. ···日本穣? · Talk to Nihonjoe 04:39, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Discrepancies between Dune novels
I have tried and failed to get this article up to Wikipedia standards. "Citation needed" tags have been on almost half of this article for many months with no real enhancement. It is, by its very nature original research since the topic seems too unimportant for reputable websites (almost all of the citations that have been made are to anonymously authored fan F.A.Q.'s or blogs) to discuss and as yet no one has provided proper citation for the information contained within. I have been trying for over a year to get this article to work, but have ultimately accepted that it is impossible. The information is unverifiable, original research and uncited.

- Merge. Information about inconsistencies within a single book should go in the article about that book; cross-book inconsistencies can be noted in either both book articles or/and Dune series or similar. RandomCritic 04:57, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
- Delete unverifiable and Merge the rest, as per RandomCritic. --Moonriddengirl 13:27, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

- Merge select notable and sourced items and Delete the collective article; I suppose in this form it does become OR. Any valuable information will find a natural place in other articles (some already has). TAnthony 20:18, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
- Merge as per above. --SandChigger 21:02, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
- Merge per above. If too much sourced material gets produced that it is best broken out, a Consistency in the Dune series would probably be an ok development then. Carlossuarez46
- Delete. The text compares FH works and the low quality space operas by BH and KA, pointing to a few tiny discrepancies and ignoring the vast difference in quality and style.
- What would be more interesting is description how BH and AH used Frank Herbert's name for serial production of their texts supressing The Dune Encyclopedia as a side-effect. This is a well documented example how someone's fame and reputation can be milked out for decades. Pavel Vozenilek 00:32, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
