Not dictionary material. Needs cleanup if OK. SemperBlotto (talk) 08:16, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
- WT:FICTION seems to apply. Probably not CFI meeting if it's only used by one author in one book. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:42, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
- There's an additional problem in that it's attributed to Stanisław Lem, who was a Polish author and wrote in Polish. This term therefore appears in translations of his works, and so may not even qualify under WT:FICTION. --EncycloPetey (talk) 23:40, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
- For the purposes of WT:FICTION, whether or not a book is a translation should be irrelevant.--Prosfilaes (talk) 00:34, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
- Actually, that's not what I meant. I worded the second part of my comment badly and hastily, as I was passing on to write another comment in another edit window. WT:FICTION allows that "terms which have three citations in separate works […] may be included only in appendices", and also says "a series of books, films, or television episodes by the same author […] shall be considered a single work." So, if support for this term comes only from the short story collection The Cyberiad, then we're talking about a single work and this term would therefore not even be allowed in an Appendix. --EncycloPetey (talk) 00:53, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
