Non-notable article about a location composed of unreliable or primary sources. A search showed only trivial mentions, without enough significant coverage. WP:BEFORE is hard because the name of the books are sometimes described as the Caprona books, but they already have articles. I am not sure of a redirect target but the first book might be a choice.

• I have to say, I really doubt that there isn't extensive coverage of a central location in books by Edgar Rice Burroughs. We also don't have a central article for the Caspak series, so this article serves an obvious purpose in that it can save the individual book articles a lot of reduplication. I don't see any reason to delete this. -- asilvering (talk) 23:07, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - I don't know why nobody started an article for the Caspak series like the rest of the franchises established by Edgar Rice Burroughs. The person who created this page would've had his keep, merge, or delete opinion, but he's been inactive since 2017. As for you @Asilvering:, are you putting your vote down for keep? --Rtkat3 (talk) 23:32, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    No, I'm not going to make a formal keep !vote until I find (or someone else finds) sources that would establish WP:GNG. -- asilvering (talk) 23:44, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Formal Keep - My comment that I added still stands about the lack of a page for the Caspak franchise. That's why I am agreeing with @Asilvering:'s comments related to what I just mentioned. --Rtkat3 (talk) 00:45, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, but convert into a page on the series. The in-universe details can be kept as part of the setting background if sourced. PARAKANYAA (talk) 03:15, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rename to a series article per PARAKANYAA/Rtkat3. WP:BEFORE shows the Caspak trilogy is most common, which gives this a better foundation with more sources. Shooterwalker (talk) 14:13, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

• Redirect to Edgar_Rice_Burroughs#Caspak_series. Current state of article shows no WP:GNG met, and no sources were presented here. Soft deletion with history preserved is a good idea as this has potential to be useful in parts when somebody writes an article about the book series (if it is notable, which has not been demonstrated here, either). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 06:41, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Edgar Rice Burroughs#Caspak series - An article focused on the actual book series rather than on the fictional location it takes place in would certainly be valid. But this article is not that, and Keeping it because a related, but completely different, article should exist instead is not especially helpful. Redirecting it to the appropriate section of Burroughs' bibliography would work for now, and if an article is created that actually is on the book series rather than just in-universe plot information, the redirect can be changed to direct there.

• Comment/Redirect to build WP:CONSENSUS. I still support renaming and refocusing the article per my above comment, but I also agree that it's already covered at Edgar Rice Burroughs#Caspak series. Shooterwalker (talk) 21:21, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
