List of loosely associated topics. Not permitted per WP:NOT. --Eyrian 23:26, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

• Keep Actually, tightly associated topic: a cliche image of aliens. An informative list. `'Míkka 23:56, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Wikipedia is not a directory of loosely associated topics. Vaguely similar reptilian aliens, cliché as they may be, are simply not an encyclopedic topic. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps)))} 00:08, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Slight variant of culturecruft, the seemingly never-ending sea of "____ in popular culture" articles. Realkyhick 00:43, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per Mikka Mandsford 01:13, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
• Weak Delete Well, to start, it's not a list, nor is it of aliens. It's of "Reptilian humanoids in fiction"...kind of. Not always aliens, and not actually always in fiction. This is on the border of being loosely related, and it's not informative in any way that isn't trivia. --Haemo 01:23, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per Mikka. Iotha 01:33, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
• Weak keep this is less cite list - like every time someone said "reptilian humanoid" - and has more content than the run-of-the-mill "in popular culture"; it may have potential to evolve into a decent article. I am willing to extend a benefit of doubt. Carlossuarez46 03:24, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
• Weak keep. If reptilian humanoids don't exist in fiction then where do they exist? As per Carlossuarez46 I'll extend the benefit of the doubt. The main article and this one do seem to require some expert editing. Canuckle 03:38, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

  Well, at Reptilian humanoid. In fact, the first line of the lead here pretty much summarizes this entire article. --Haemo 04:48, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Yes that could be a resting place for the information. It would be nice to hear from editors who've been workign on these two pages.Canuckle 16:53, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Who exactly classifies these things as "Reptilian humanoids" ? I think a bit of WP:OR is needed to make this jump. I think this is no different than "<mythical character> in popular culture". Corpx 05:13, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
• Weak keep as a possibility, but needs sourcing, or merge with Reptilian humanoid per above discussion. Bearian 23:23, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
• 'Keep and merge as suggested. No possiblity of confusion. DGG (talk) 23:46, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

• keep great informative article just in need of sourcing a bit and not even much clean up
