The result was keep. Clear consensus that there is something worth keeping. Consensus favors a rename and change of focus, but without a clear target. Further discussion on the best way forward can take place on the article talk page. Mojo Hand(

The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing
Wikipedia:General notability guideline requirement nor the more detailed
Wikipedia:Notability (fiction) supplementary essay.
WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar, neither for the fictional race, nor for the "Heechee series". I did find one source that offers a bit of hope that the latter may be notable,
[1], although I find that text hard to parse, bordering on unreadable (seems to suffer from a heavy case of postmodernist syndrome...). Maybe someone else can find something to try to ressue this, but the odds are
WP:TNT or at least major gutting/rewriting are in order (the article is unfortunately focused on the almost certainly-not-notable fictional alien race, instead of on the maybe-notable book series). Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus|

Rename & Cleanup - The series appears to be notable, per Clarityfiend, and the first couple sections of the article are definitely salvageable to keep as the basis of an article on an overview of it. If its renamed as suggested and all of the unsourced plot cruft that makes up the second half is removed, we're left with a workable stub article on the series.

Keep per above sourcing and as a classic Sci-Fi series that has inspired others:
[2]. Rename, consolidation, and cleanup are all welcome.
Gateway Saga would be another possible rename.

Keep not seeing an applicable deletion rationale here outside of just liking deleting things.
