Same as Mondas, this topic fails WP:GNG. Coverage is limited to in-universe summaries and contextual mentions in relation to other plot elements. TTN ( talk) 15:25, 8 January 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Redirect to Cyberman - The article has zero reliable sources, and is comprised almost entirely of plot information. Searching for sources does not actually turn up much in reliable sources - its mentioned here and there in the context of describing the plots of Dr. Who related products, but that's about it. A reasonable redirect target exists, so that should be done, but there is nothing here that should be merged, considering none of it is sourced. Rorshacma ( talk) 16:00, 8 January 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Strong Keep. The article has been worked on substantially in the past 15+ years and is a useful resource for those interested in the subject. DavidFarmbrough ( talk) 19:05, 8 January 2021 (UTC) reply
  • I don't see how WP:IAR is able to be invoked for a minor plot element simply due to the length of its existence. There are plenty of plot elements that have skipped through the gaps over Wikipedia's existence. This is useful in the same way a Fandom article is useful, good for fans but irrelevant to a general encyclopedia. TTN ( talk) 19:23, 8 January 2021 (UTC) reply
