The Judoon seem to lack significant coverage discussing the species as a whole. I found very little searching in Books and Scholar, with Books only turning up spin-off material from the series and Scholar only pulling trivial mentions or mentions of the episode "Fugitive of the Judoon," which only discuss the episode and not the species. News sources have a few hits, but they're mostly ROUTINE coverage (A character is returning, here's a few guides so you know who they are) and even then there's very few of them and the bulk of them are just plot summary with no significant reception of analysis of their role. I don't believe there's enough here for the Judoon to act as a standalone article. A viable AtD is a redirect to List of Doctor Who universe creatures and aliens, where most of the relevant information regarding the Judoon is already present. Has one ever considered Magneton?

Redirect per nominator's rationale, to List of Doctor Who universe creatures and aliens, where a perfectly adequate entry for the Judoon already exists. Mr Sitcom (talk) 08:06, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per nom. I see how this doesn't have enough coverage for standalone article, and I see a viable WP:ATD. Shooterwalker (talk) 14:03, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I am not really convinced that they are even notable enough for a list entry. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 06:18, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The current Aliens list is relatively comprehensive in terms of covering monsters from throughout the series (Including a whole ton of one offs) and the Judoon recur with decent enough frequency within the series itself. They certainly don't meet notability but they certainly are a valid search target (Especially since Smith and Jones (Doctor Who) and Fugitive of the Judoon both heavily feature them, as well as Prisoner of the Judoon), meaning there is a valid rationale for readers wanting to find out what they are.
