Spice agony

This article describes a minor detail from a fictional work in a mostly "in-universe" style (as though it were real), contrary to WP:WAF, and without citing any third-party sources, contrary to WP:V and WP:N. There is no obvious place to merge this content to, even if it were worth merging. Sandstein 18:04, 11 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Melange (fictional drug). Seems an obvious target to me. Powers ^T 18:06, 11 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you're right. But in that case only the part that is at least sourced to primary sources, "Chronology", should be merged. Sandstein 18:19, 11 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and lose excessive plot detail in the process. There's no reason that something primarily sourced can't be merged into an article has a variety of acceptable sourcing. Jclemens (talk) 06:52, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Summarize and merge for the sake of building a consensus. Would otherwise support deletion since there are no third-party sources to WP:verify notability. Shooterwalker (talk) 18:00, 18 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
