There is virtually no mythology in "Stargate". In the Stargate universe all described in the article if not mythology, but "for real". All usable content can be safely moved into numerous "main" articles. In any case this is one huge WP:SYNTH. Staszek Lem (talk) 18:41, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

SPEEDY KEEP . Withdrawn. Sorry, I was not familiar with the meaning Mythology (fiction). Thx to User:Toughpigs. Please link this term somewhere in the article lede (and write the standard intro sentence). Staszek Lem (talk) 19:03, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: "Mythology" in this case means the historical backstory of the show's premise, see Mythology (fiction). Regarding notability, there are many books cited in the article, including:
- Reading Stargate SG-1 by Stan Beeler and Lisa Dickson, Bloomsbury Academic (2006)
- "Stargate SG-1 and the Quest for the Perfect Science-Fiction Premise" by Stan Beeler in The Essential Science Fiction Television Reader, University Press of Kentucky (2008)
- Approaching the Possible: The World of Stargate SG-1 by Jo Storm, ECW Press (2005)

This demonstrates that the subject is notable. — Toughpigs (talk) 18:54, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
