Forum:Are the Cyberman factions REF-only?

How much of the Cybermen splitting into factions is actually supported by the DWU? Or are CyberMondasian, CyberFaction and the rest purely here due to REF: Doctor Who: Cybermen, material that only belongs in the Behind the scenes section of an article? I notice an admin not too long ago added a deletion template to at least one of them.

Now, if their divergence and factionalising is supported in story, even if the names aren't, I can sort of see why the Doctor Who: Cybermen terms have a place in the wiki. -- Tybort (talk page) 02:27, March 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * I believe that David Banks, the creator of these ideas, also used them in the novel Iceberg. Doug86 talk to me 01:20, March 14, 2012 (UTC)


 * Well, the immediate answer to the title is "no", which is a start. Not sure how best to word the followup, but I'll try: how many of the ideas and factions are alluded to in Iceberg? Is it just the CyberFaction split? -- Tybort (talk page) 01:54, March 14, 2012 (UTC)
