Literally just a fancy term for "it's a wormhole". No secondary sources of note, and the entire thing is a WP:OR example farm. If deleted, it should probably be redirected to Jumpgate: The Reconstruction Initiative._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 16:54, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - I couldn't find a single source that convinced me "jumpgates" should have a page of their own. I don't understand why this page exists when it serves the exact same function as Wormholes in fiction. Any content of high enough quality (i.e. not original research) could be salvaged and added to that other page and have "Jumpgate" redirect there. Although, as ZXCVBNM mentioned, redirecting it the MMORPG of the same name could also be an option. As a a third option, it could be turned into a disambiguation page that defined the term and links to both Wormholes in fiction and Jumpgate: The Reconstruction Initiative.

• I would say that a hatnote can be added to the Jumpgate game article that sends people to Wormholes in fiction._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 17:15, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Essentially redundant to Wormholes in fiction. The instances mentioned here should be included there, if appropriate. It has no sources that are unrelated to the works mentioned. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 02:19, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment. The term is used in some published literature in google books: [1], [2], [3]. Not sure if this brings it passed the threshold of notability. I'm on the fence.4meter4 (talk) 21:29, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
