Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Self-replicating machines in fiction

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus. Those arguing for deletion are right that the article is a mess. This by itself is not a strong argument for deletion and I don't think there is clear consensus for WP:TNT. Those arguing to keep the article have clearly established that self-replicating machines are notable. Whether a list of self-replicating machines in fiction is separately notable and encyclopedic is still up for debate, and those arguing for keep are fairly convincing on this point; however, there is not clear consensus here either. I do not think that relisting this will result in additional clarity, so I am closing this debate as no consensus. Malinaccier (talk) 21:15, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
