A large, entirely summary-style article covering the home planet of the Daleks, Skaro. All sources used in the article are either primary or information used for basic verification, and a BEFORE for Skaro turned up a lot of fantastic sources on the Daleks, but Skaro was only mentioned in passing in many of these. Skaro received reference in a lot of summaries of the Daleks and their origins, but did not receive any analysis separately from the Dalek species. I searched through News (Which only turned up plot summary and trivial mentions of the planet), Books (Which turned up several fantastic sources for the Dalek species, but only trivial mentions of the planet), and Scholar (Which turned up similar results to Books.) This subject is not individually notable of the Daleks, and is only mentioned in passing in every source that mentions it, lacking any form of SIGCOV that would mean it would pass the GNG. A logical AtD is to the Daleks, as it is their home planet and mentioned multiple times throughout the article in the species' backstory. Has one ever considered Magneton?

• Redirect/Merge to Dalek; some of the info can be copied to Dalek to expand it. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 06:03, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect/Merge to Dalek makes sense. An article doesn't. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 08:25, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge to Dalek; History of the Daleks probably should also be merged there. Walsh90210 (talk) 19:04, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect/Merge per DoctorWhoFan91. This doesn't have WP:SIGCOV apart from the Daleks, and can be used to improve that article. Shooterwalker (talk) 01:10, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
