Marathon(Game) Should be listed as a mention of Tau Ceti in fiction
[edit]The game Marathon is set on Tau Ceti iv and takes place for nearly the entirety of the story and therefore should be included in the list. Athena (talk) 18:56, 7 March 2026 (UTC)
- @Athena372, This isn't a list of every story that happens to be set around a real star. For any topic to be included in this article, you'll need to provide a source that is primarily about the topic of "Stars in fiction" or "Tau Ceti in fiction" (per WP:PROPORTION, WP:IPCV, etc).

- Indeed. For anybody curious about how to construct articles like this, I might also suggest reading MOS:POPCULT, in particular WP:ANALYSISBEFOREEXAMPLES. TompaDompa (talk) 12:53, 8 March 2026 (UTC)
