This article is mostly original research, really just a coat rack of examples noted by fans of fantasy and science fiction. There's really nothing to say except fiction plays fast and loose with how much people can carry. Other mundane things that fiction doesn't treat in a realistic way: going to the bathroom, eating, the time it takes to cross large distances, ending a conversation with a proper goodbye... They're funny observations to make, but articles are more than just a list of fan-observations linked to primary sources. There isn't any significant coverage in third party sources to write anything other than an indiscriminate list of examples. Shooterwalker (talk) 01:25, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete it is one of those "THINGS THAT GAMES NEVER GET RIGHT!" posts/articles. it has to go. Clone commando sev (talk) 02:31, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - This really does just seem like a large mixture of original research and synthesis. While the concept/gag of something being able to hold more than it should be able to is pretty common, and I do see a few articles describing the term as a "magic satchel", I am really not finding any sources talking about the concept in a way that shows that this is a widely accepted term for the concept. Additionally, we already have an article on a topic that does have sources, Hammerspace, which is basically the same concept. If there was actually any decently sourced information on this page, I would have recommended perhaps merging it to that article, but there really is not any.

Delete - Article seems to have an affinity for violating WP:OR, therefore it needs to go. Videogameplayer99 (talk) 03:10, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete WP is not TV Tropes. Even if we could document that the idea of a "magic satchel" was notable, examples would have to meet sourcing requirements of WP:TRIVIA and that would cut a lot. --Masem (t) 03:43, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Hammerspace, since this is seemingly an alternate name for that concept it should be redirected there. Devonian Wombat (talk) 10:29, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- And then redirect that article, which is also fan-froth, to cartoon physics? - DavidWBrooks (talk) 12:12, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Per WP:SYNTH. While hammerspace is a similar concept, there is not much that can be merged._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 05:45, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
