While being notable as part of the Sontarans' backstory, the Rutans themselves don't seem to meet GNG or SIGCOV. A search for sources yields only listicles. Rutans can probably be merged into either the Sontarans' article or the general list of alien races article. Pokelego999 (talk) 00:59, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect per above. Probably at least a semi-likely search term or link target Dronebogus (talk) 01:41, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
