The result was Merged and redirected to List of extraterrestrials in Dragon Ball . I merged in the lead paragraph - anything more that is sourced and isn't just OR can be added. Black Kite 22:37, 23 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This article asserts zero notability through reliable sources, and is simply a repetition of the plot of various Dragon Ball articles plot sections in an in-universe way. It is therefore wholly duplicative, unnotable, and should be deleted. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 15:27, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep & Clean Up It shows notability through the references it uses, in the same way as Son Goku. I don't see any plot repetition in the article (except in the History section, but that's to be expected [you can't have a Dragon Ball race article that makes no mention whatsoever about plot]). Little to none of the information in the article is duplicative. An in-universe tag should be placed, but deletion is overkill.--KojiDude ^(C) 15:45, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment. The article needs cleanup and reliable sources. Once that is done, then the article should be fine. RobJ1981 (talk) 15:53, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's great to hear, and I look foreword to seeing those references posted here so we can all know how notable this is. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 16:38, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well I never said I would do it, I just gave advice to KojiDude. Personally, I'm not so sure if sources do exist. RobJ1981 (talk) 16:59, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Planet Namek is gone, so should this. JuJube (talk) 20:20, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment The Planet Namek article was some barely-linked to series of small paragraphs made by one guy a few weeks ago with no references and etc, on top of being a really minor part of the series in and of itself though. - Norse Am Legend (talk) 04:21, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Cull and merge to List of extraterrestrials in Dragon Ball. Fails WP:N, WP:FICT, WP:PLOT, etc. No significant third party coverage of this species, all refs are purely from source material, with bits of WP:OR thrown in. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 23:46, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge the species description and major attributes into List of extraterrestrials in Dragon Ball, the article's small enough to be put into a list without losing anything important. There probably should be some sort of more appropriate non-character list/article for this to be merged into though since "Namekian" is a aterm used to define a large group of characters and plot and not a specific person like the others on the current Extraterrestrials list. - Norse Am Legend (talk) 04:21, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge to List of extraterrestrials in Dragon Ball. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 20:27, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
