POV stub on a topic with no independent notability spun off from SpaceX Mars program. Sourced to a tweet (inadmissible per WP:PRIMARY) and some fluff websites; the only reference that remotely approaches decent does not actually mention "Mars Base Alpha".

- Delete. Stubbier than a stub, and the little content, while amusing, is not particularly reliable. I really am amused by the infobox item "Government: Imperator Elon Musk", directly under "Direct Democracy", but that amusement doesn't mean the article has any relevance. This is a variation on "too soon" in some minor key. Tarl N. (discuss) 23:34, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
- Redirect back to SpaceX Mars program. (This isn't really an Astronomy topic.) Praemonitus (talk) 02:46, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
- But according to WP:P Deletion doesn't meet criteria for it to happen, because its follow independent and reliable source, as long as its verifiable and also gained serious attention. Worth notice that content of subject cannot be made up/interpret by individual unless there is primary and secondary sources in order to support the cause, while in these case Elon Musk proclaims himself as Mars Imperator, colonizing mars, imposing his own law for Mars Base Alpha is well-know publication in media is cleary not. Therefore could resume its existence.

- Redirect to SpaceX Mars program: Redirecting is preferable to deletion here. DocFreeman24 (talk) 06:25, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
- Redirect back to SpaceX Mars program, as per nom. Hughesdarren (talk) 12:20, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
- Redirect back to SpaceX Mars program. I would add that most of the content should not be merged as it is basically one man's (Musk) almost non-sensical musings. Pichpich (talk) 19:16, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
- Delete almost comes off as a joke article. Non-notable. Oaktree b (talk) 01:12, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
- Redirect back to SpaceX Mars program. This does not appear to be separately notable by any stretch. I don't think the content is really worth merging at this point either, so I'd be open to deletion altogether. — Mhawk10 (talk) 05:21, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
