It hardly makes sense to sum up conspiracy theories about Nazi moon bases, adoption of Nazism by alien races in different ways, and alien races / human regimes resembling Nazism to varying degrees (no chance to delimit this). This article is a synthesis in itself. KnightMove (talk) 06:25, 30 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Despite the amusing title, this is a listicle without spark, imagination, or enough coherence to be useful. The Satanic Sheik (talk) 07:35, 30 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. (Rename?) Nazi Germany getting into space is a well known theme in alternate history science fiction. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 09:58, 30 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - David Gerard (talk) 11:51, 30 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Per Anthony's reasoning, this idea is present in lots of fiction. However, it may need a renamed title such as Nazis in Space or Space Nazis (Fiction). Frmorrison (talk) 14:22, 30 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

delete This is one big hunk of
WP:SYNTHESIS, and a quick search shows that it is likely to remain so. I do not find any kind of real literary study of this idea, though no doubt eventually it'll appear somewhere in the scholarly literature. What we have here is an escapee from TV Tropes, and it should be returned to its original confines. Mangoe (talk) 15:15, 30 July 2014 (UTC)[reply

Comment. This does seem like an escapee from TV Tropes. Is there any actual discussion of this trope in reliable sources? All I see are references to the film Iron Sky. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 23:57, 3 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep a well-known science-fiction theme. 122.60.167.21 (talk) 05:33, 6 August 2014 (UTC) (BTW, there was a BBC story about this recently). 122.60.167.21 (talk) 05:37, 6 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
