Fictional event, mostly PRIMARY sources, pure PLOT, fails GNG/NFICTION. While the article cites some non-PRIMARY sources, they do not provide in-depth analysis of this. For example, the lead mentions an article in The New Yorker ([1]), but it mentions this event only in passing in a single sentence. The other non-primary source, [2], is a blog like entry that only states that the term Bulterian comes from Samuel Butler (novelist) (and that blog extensively quotes from Wikipedia anyway). At best, soft delete by redirecting and perhaps merging to Dune: The Butlerian Jihad. Thoughts? Figure we can give a merge discussion a go before AfD. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here04:48, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for bringing this up here rather than an AfD. I think this article would be best redirected to Dune (franchise)#The Butlerian Jihad, where the topic is already discussed in the context of the series' anti-technology themes. Let me take a look at anything that may be worth saving from here or worth trimming from there, and I will boldly redirect. I don't foresee any controversy.— TAnthonyTalk06:02, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
