  • Delete as hoax. Dune (published 1965) can't possibly reference Star Wars (released 1977). Jamie 09:16, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete complete bollocks Just zis  Guy, you know? [T]/[C] AfD? 18:11, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, I've actually bothered to read Dune, as painful as it was to keep track of which gibberish term meant what (Paul Atreides has five names simultaneously, for one thing), and there most certainly was no mention of a "House Palpatine". — JIP | Talk 18:37, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
  • I can confirm that it's not in the book. It's not in the Dune Encyclopedia, either. It may, like House Ordos, be in the Dune (computer game). But, like House San Maarten, the article states that it is mentioned in the first novel, which it is not. The creator of the article, 67.77.209.15 (talk · contribs) also created House San Maarten and House Schultz, added all of these houses to Landsraad, and edited Padishah Emperor replacing the list of emperors with a completely different list, that does not agree with the Dune Encyclopedia in the slightest. Although there are inconsistencies in the Dune universe between different authors, given the lack of sources, and the other edits, I'm of the opinion that this article is simply one part of an overall hoax.

    • Also delete House San Maarten and House Schultz. AfD'd these and linked their AfD's to this discussion, per Uncle G... Jamie 04:36, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
    • I've never played the original Dune game, but I've played Dune II, and there were only three houses, Atreides, Harkonnen and Ordos, and the Emperor's guys, no mention of "Palpatine". — JIP | Talk 04:58, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
      • To be precise, House Ordos was added by Westwood for Dune II, and does not feature in the original novels. Unless I'm gravely mistaken, of course. --Agamemnon2 07:20, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
