[edit] Deus Ex Machina (The Matrix)

Deus Ex Machina (The Matrix) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This article is an in-universe plot repetition with very limited notability, and is already covered by the Matrix Revolutions movie articles plot section. The one unreferenced "fact" could easily be a part of the Development section of the Revolutions article, and there is no need for this article. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 21:35, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete - I looked at this article, and I tried to figure out how to clean it up or trim it down to show more concretely that it is undeserving of an article, but it's so completely in-universe, it involves unverifiable fan speculation, it's almost entirely WP:PLOT, it fails WP:FICT for the establishment of notability. Even if this article could someday be recreated, I see nothing worth salvaging here. -Verdatum (talk) 23:04, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
  • delete the whole article is written "in-universe" and is fairly clear case of original research. I agree that the article on the movie covers everything here and does a better job of it Beeblbrox (talk) 23:48, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Strong Delete — Not worth keeping. — EliasAlucard (Discussion · contribs) 02:51, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge to List of programs and machines in the Matrix series. Alientraveller (talk) 15:23, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
    • Deus Ex Machina already has a section in that article, and it looks to be quite a bit better (in terms of WP:WAF) than anything and everything in this article. What is worth merging? -Verdatum (talk) 16:58, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
      • Then it's a simple matter of a redirect. Alientraveller (talk) 20:19, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
        • A redirect isn't worthwhile if no one would reasonably search "Deus Ex Machina (The Matrix)", but Yeah, I suppose on second thought I have no problem with it being a redirect. -Verdatum (talk) 23:08, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete and redirect; in-universe content mixed with speculation and void of real-world context doesn't make this encyclopedic. It is finished! —Erik (talk • contrib) - 20:27, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per others. Doctorfluffy (talk) 20:12, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
