This fictional university, as far as I can tell, fails WP:GNG. Additionally, it is made up of entirely plot summary, which is forbidden under WP:NOT. As for the previous AFDs, the last one was in 2010. QuicoleJR (talk) 23:07, 10 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is clearly not a plot summary, but it does need more references. PaulGamerBoy360 (talk) 23:13, 10 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please explain where the article mentions Unseen University's real-life importance or reception. QuicoleJR (talk) 23:24, 10 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Check out the sources I posted in the second AFD a dozen years ago. Most of those links still appear live. If you'd prefer, it is well within the nominator's remit to do up a source evaluation matrix on them. Jclemens (talk) 00:25, 11 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per the sources I brought up a dozen years ago and two AfDs back. Jclemens (talk) 00:25, 11 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per Jclemens . If people don't want to keep as a standalone article, merge to Discworld, but I think it should be kept. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 00:37, 11 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That's possible, but creates all sorts of SIZE issues. Fact is, we have a bunch of sprawling articles that could all stand to be tightened up, but being poorly maintained is not a deletion criterion. Jclemens (talk) 00:38, 11 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per Jclemens. Also Unseen University and Discworld have become part pf popular culture in many places. --Bduke (talk) 05:36, 11 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• I appear to have missed those when looking through the page history. I would like to withdraw this AfD. QuicoleJR (talk) 13:01, 11 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to Discworld. The article is still 100% plot summary. If we have sources, then we had years for someone to write some reception/analysis section. Enough is enough. If noone cares for years to make this policy-compliant, redirect this until someone does. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:57, 12 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
