A random collection of contextless and often ill-defined or completely undefined terms vaguely related to Superman's homeworld. No real-world content or context and no hope for same, no source except direct observation of the comics themselves. The important ones are ably covered in their own articles or related ones, and the unimportant ones don't need to be covered at all. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 15:08, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Minutia, sure, but the "unimportant" terms crop up, though not often enough to warrant their own entries. Clean-up sure is needed, but deletion is not required. -mordicai. 20:09, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  Why not just explain them briefly when they crop up? - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 22:04, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  Crop up in the source material & in conversation, which is how I stumbled here. Explaining them every time they crop up will just clutter up a variety of articles; a listing here keeps things orderly. I think that sweeping edits of personal nouns &c. are in order, but as it stands, this is as good a place as it gets to answer questions like "Torquasm-Vo what now?" -mordicai. 04:01, 28 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Seems helpful, no merge possible. Obina 20:55, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak keep, but wikify (as in, make the names bold). Some people obviously find this stuff useful, seeng as someone spent alot of time working on it. It should be renamed to something like Glossary of terms related to Krypton. Leave a message on my Talk page if you want me to lend a hand wikifying.
