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 worksmay be included only in appendices", and also says "a series of books, films, or television episodes by the same authorshall 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)
