Entirely in-universe discussion of a non-notable group of fictional characters. No third-party sources are cited, and while a search did throw up a couple of mentions in scholarly work, they were nothing more than passing mentions. Josh Milburn (talk) 17:04, 28 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Space Marine (Warhammer 40,000)#In-universe origins and history This is another collection of fancruft that is incapable of supporting its own article. ―Susmuffin ^Talk 19:56, 28 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as non-notable. Redirecting it to "Space Marine" would be a WP:SURPRISE. The term is relatively common in sci-fi, also being used in the Final Fantasy, and I believe the Mass Effect series._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 23:09, 28 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fictional concept. No evidence of stand-alone notability. Not a shred of analysis. Pure WP:PLOT and list of appearances in media. Fails GNG/NFICTION. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:52, 29 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect. Per Susmuffin. –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 05:32, 1 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I agree with ZXCVBNM about the redirect; probably better to delete outright. Josh Milburn (talk) 08:36, 1 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@J Milburn and Zxcvbnm: Disambiguation is always a secondary option. –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 19:03, 1 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Disambiguation is only worth it if there are more than 1 articles sharing that name. Otherwise it just becomes an index of mentions. Better for people to just use the search option in that case._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 19:24, 1 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to get specific, the title of "Primarch" is used for the leader of the Turian race in Mass Effect, and is used for the character Primarch Victus in Mass Effect 3. But he is too minor to be mentioned on the encyclopedia. It's also used as the title of Galenth Dysley from Final Fantasy XIII, who is the main antagonist of that game._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 21:27, 1 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
