Disputed prod. Prod was "No independent sources indicating notability", removed because "external links prove notability." I still don't see any independent reliable sources but reviewing the links,

• 1 cannot load but because Tierranet looks like a typical domain provider, I'm not sure that's going to be a WP:RS.
• 2 is a just a personal website, not a RS.
• 3 seems to be a sort of unauthorized fan page about designing the figures.
• 4 is a dead link now, so ignored.

• The wayback machine shows this earlier version but that's still not a reliable source. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 18:13, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

• 5 describes itself as the ""ComStar Historical Archives" which I thought could be notable until I realized that ComStar is just a part of the fictional universe and thus another anonymous fansite. Ricky81682 (talk) 18:06, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
• Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:BKD - articles concerning fictional entities must demonstrate that the subject has received significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources, and there's very little evidence for any out-of-universe coverage here. Claritas § 18:26, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
• Keep. Google Books search for "Clan Wolf" indicates there are a few mentions in printed sources (for some reason Wikipedia no longer renders GBooks search results properly :( ). Google search for "Clan Wolf" battletech -wikipedia yields ~50k results. Overall, I think the notability is given as it is a major fictional entity in a notable fictional universe (it is, most crucially, mentioned in several dozens of novels, not to mention several dozens of gaming books and games). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 18:54, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
