The result was KEPT PENDING DISCUSSION OF A MERGE. This one is unanimous save for my nomination, which I'm now not entirely sure of.

While the consensus was unanimously to merge, there was little consensus on where. I'm going to be tagging this for a merge to Metal Gear Solid 3 (which is currently being totally rewritten) per WP:FICT, but that's not part of this AFD close and is subject to further discussion elsewhere. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 16:36, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Philosophers (Metal Gear)

Needlessly overdetailed plot summary focusing on one aspect of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater; far too much detail to be worth merging. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 01:16, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

• Merge to Patriots (Metal Gear) (if it survives AfD). That other "organization" is more significant in the larger picture of the popular Metal Gear series. As I stated in that subject's AfD, these are fairly significant elements of a popular video game series's storyline--it's not on par with, for example, an article on an obscure character who plays little to no part in an unpopular video game. I would actually be okay with a "weak keep" if there were more to the article, but as it stands it wouldn't hurt to integrate it into the Patriots article, provided that sources are included first. -- H·G (^words/_works) 01:35, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

  These organizations serve a MacGuffin role on those games: they're the reason that the characters come into conflict, but they're not actually very important to the player. As for the needless overdetail, between these two articles we have more words on these conspiratorial organizations than the games in which they appear. This isn't summary; it's a detailed essay. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 04:10, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

• Merge per above--Peephole 14:29, 5 August 2006 (UTC)--

• Moved on to this one now have ya. I say Merge to Patriots, that leaves FOXHOUND, Outer Heaven and The Patriots as the three Metal Gear organisations with articles, and they are the most deserving as they are the most important ones

• Merge per above. User:Twlighter
• Merge the useful info only. The article is overly long. --Le Scoopertemp [tk] 14:53, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
