The result was delete. This does seem to be a copyvio of [1]. If something is a copyvio, you don't need to use AFD by the way... see WP:CV and WP:CSD. W.marsh 14:18, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Outworlds Alliance

Outworlds Alliance (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This fictional organization doesn't seem to be notable, and the text appears to be highly suspiciously something taken from a copyrighted source. Delete unless notability shown. --Nlu (talk) 06:05, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

• Concur with Nlu's assesment, as the material appears to have been copy-pasted from another document, with no attempts to implement wikiformatting. It is written from an in-universe perspective, which is contrary to the Manual of Style for writing about fiction. No sources for information external to the fictional nation... heck, no source full stop. Delete unless the notability of this fictional nation can be demonstrated through the use of sourced material external to the BattleTech Universe or the people/organisations directly responsible for producing the fictional works that make up the BattleTech Universe. -- saberwyn 08:48, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
