[edit] MP-02A Orgg

MP-02A Orgg (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Fails WP:V and WP:RS, unsourced, no reliable sources either to confirm the article's content or to support notability. Written from a completely non-real-world perspective, so fails WP:FICT. Reads like fancruft and original research. Quite apart from which, articles about fictional weapons? C'mon. Moreschi ^Deletion! 09:51, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

• Merge to a list of MS IGLOO Mobile weapons or something of that sort. Articles of fictional weapons are perfectly valid if they are the major characters of a series per WP:FICT, Articles of lists of fictional weapons are perfectly valid if they are minor characters of a series per WP:FICT. Move this to AfM. MythSearcher^talk 09:58, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
• Comment So they should be deleted because they are fictional weapons? Do you feel the same about Lightsaber and Death Star? Edward321 00:45, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
• Comment - as of now, there's nothing to merge to. When there is, I might agree. Then again, I might not. Moreschi ^Deletion! 10:06, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Nothing verifiable, unsourced, no assertion of notability. --Folantin 11:05, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per my nom in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/RX-78 Gundam. MER-C 12:31, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
• Merge and cleanup per WP:FICT. There is no point in deleting this when it can be merged and cleaned up under WP:FICT's guidelines, and the nominators are not given other editors time to evaluate and cleanup these articles. Also, if sources are a problem, then they should be requested first. The nominators have made no attempt to do so. --Farix (Talk) 13:06, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete: no assertion of notability even within the fictional universe. While minor characters/places/things can be merged, trivial things should just be deleted as Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. --Pak21 14:22, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per Pak21. Edison 15:39, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Non-notable. Xiner (talk, email) 19:34, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep While I suspect that I would vote for merge or delete were this article proposed singly, the sheer volume of recent nominations for deletion in this category makes the already short time to assess and/or improve said articles completely inadequate. Edward321 00:26, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep pending a more reasonably organized deletion discussion. AfDs in this manner are in bad taste and wastes time on both sides. -- Ned Scott 06:43, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as per Pak21. Afd process is fine here. Articles are being considered on a case by case basis Bwithh 12:38, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. "I'm not a fan" is not grounds for deleting fictional subjects, and that's what these Gundam AfDs really ammount to. Redxiv 22:12, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
• Ridiculous - did you bother to read my nomination? Do you realise how many policies these articles fail? Moreschi ^Deletion! 22:18, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
• Merge and Cleanup per WP:FICT. In the case of Fictional items, WP:FICT would supercede the cited policies, as it makes no sense otherwise (why have a seperate specific policy for a fictional items if it's outranked by a more general policy?). Also, assertion that the article isn't written in a "real-world perspective" (while this this seems completely subjective and a questionalble assertion to me), even if true, isn't grouds for deletion, as it's a simple matter to re-write information from a different perspective. If there's a problem with having fictional material on Wikipedia, nominator should propose changes to policy instead of trying to backdoor his way through. Xenon Zaleo 22:31, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

• Merge and Cleanup with EMS-10 Zudah as part of a "Mobile Weapons from MS IGLOO" article. Not noteworthy enough to warrant its own standalone article. Maikeru 04:51, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
• Strong Keep If contents are arranged definitely, there is not a problem.--shikai shaw 07:10, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per Moreschi and Pak21. I don't see how a 'merge' is an option if the entire content of the article is simply a 'in-universe' Gundam guide. --maclean 07:15, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
