I don't see how this can be more than a dictionary definition. Examples could be added, but what purpose would that serve? It's such an obvious, self-explanatory idea that there isn't much to say about it. If somebody has published some kind of in-depth literary analysis about interstellar alliances in science fiction I would change my mind, but I doubt that's the case. To be more policy-based about it: I don't think secondary sources exist about this topic.Prezbo (talk) 04:45, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Transwiki to wiktionary, as a dicdef - and as to why do it for a fictional subject, it's been used by multiple authors in different fictional universes, so it should be acceptable, as it is not proprietary. 76.66.197.17 (talk) 05:15, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. If there are secondary sources discussing this, it would only be in the wider context of political ideas in science fiction, since an interstellar alliance isn't significantly different from an interplanetary or intergalactic alliance, or even an alliance between different species on a single planet. I don't think the term is even suitable for Wiktionary; see "Idiomaticity" in Wiktionary's "Criteria for inclusion". EALacey (talk) 17:07, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
