This article asserts no notability through reliable sources, and is just a regurgitation of the plot of the various Bionicle stories from the novel and video game articles. As such, it is repetitive of that content with no out of universe information and should be deleted. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 06:09, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Weak keep Aside from a short intro section this is essentially a list of characters, which is both permissable and actually encouraged under WP:FICT. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 11:53, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment. Please note that the previous AFD was closed a little less than 2 months ago with a "no consenus" although this was in part a judgement call by the closing editor who felt too many of the keep arguments didn't relate to policy. To others, it could look like a snowball keep. 23skidoo (talk) 12:43, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
And as there has been no improvement, and the keep arguments had no relation to policy, here we are again. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 15:46, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, that's why I'm not doing what I often do in such cases and recommend keep, because the last AFD was rather ambiguous. But someone looking at it might take it as a snowball on first glance. 23skidoo (talk) 19:54, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

*Delete, just plot summary without notability (i.e. independent, reliable sources). Graevemoore (talk) 23:54, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Appearances can be deceiving, especially when there is no demonstrated proof that any of those books are anything but plot regurgitation in an in-universe way, or novels of bionicle, which don't count either. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 20:48, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
Yes, all but one appear to be fiction, "produced ... under license from the LEGO Group" (to quote from one), and hence can only used for plot summaries, and lack the third-party nature required to demonstrate notability. The first, "The Imagination Challenge", has some potential, but by itself does not demonstrate notability. Jakew (talk) 20:56, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
