Delete. There appear to be no reliable sources that cover this fictional concept. It has no real-world significance and can only be written about from an in-universe perspective. Suitable for an X-Men wiki but not for Wikipedia. Harley Hudson (talk) 19:44, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see why it "can only be written about from an in-universe perspective." Am I missing something that prevents a rewrite from fixing that? Cloveapple (talk) 18:13, 23 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It can only be written about from an in-universe perspective because there are no sources that support writing anything about it from a real-world perspective. Harley Hudson (talk) 19:18, 23 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Professor X.--Crazy runner (talk) 15:23, 23 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I was under the impression that content had to be sourced to be merged. Harley Hudson (talk) 15:56, 23 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Content ought to be sourced in all cases, regardless, but that doesn't mean it can't be sourced before or after the merge. BOZ (talk) 16:48, 23 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per above. BOZ (talk) 16:48, 23 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete In-universe guff with no relevance outside of the primary material. --Cameron Scott (talk) 20:24, 25 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per above. This is probably an appropriate redirect, and a few sentences on Professor X won't do any harm. --Anthem 20:40, 26 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or merge: The fictional protocols do not pass the general notability guideline nor can the subject be anything more than a plot-only description of a fictional work. A merge might be an acceptable outcome since they are related to the fictional character Professor X, although the content should be severely trimmed as extra details of the protocols would give undue weight to a non-notable concept.
