[edit] Heliopolis (Gundam)

Please express your concerns in more detail. Fancruft is not a valid reason for deletion because what is or isn't fancruft is entirely subjective. - Mgm|^(talk) 10:23, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. Appears to be important city in the Gundam mythology. I agree the article isn't very well written, but let's try to get a rewrite before trashing it. Wasn't there a Gundam WikiProject? I'm sure they'd be happy to take it on. - Mgm|^(talk) 10:23, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per MacGyverMagic. --Coredesat 10:34, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. A minor part of Gundam mythology, which itself is minor part a piece of fairly minor fiction. Fancruft. -- GWO
• Delete per Gareth Owen. I have to say that the chances of this AFD succeeding are very low given the precedent for every little tiny thing regarding Gundam articles to be flooded with Keep votes, though. -- Kuzaar^-T-C- 17:45, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, clean up, possibly expand. Extremely significant to the Gundam storyline IIRC. If not, then Merge and Redirect to appropriate Gundam article. Jumbo Snails 19:16, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - an important "city" of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED. --WinHunter ^(talk) 00:19, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect to Locations of the Cosmic Era or somesuch. 132.205.45.148 20:28, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
• Comment if this is kept, every place mentioned in every fictional or mythological storyline or fable should also be kept and we will be overloaded by such things as San Francisco (Star Trek) to describe Captain Kirk and co's sojourn there to find whales and nucular materials, and San Francisco (Maltese Falcon) to describe all that went on there, and San Francisco (Vertigo), ditto; and that's just one real city that has cameo appearances in mythical and fabulous stories.

• Delete article lacks context, sources, reason for existence. After reading it WP:HOLE came to mind as there was no explanation of why or if it was notable or important. None of the keeps above give any reason beyond "significant to the Gundam storyline", which tells me that per WP:FICT, this is fancruft of zero general interest. Worse yet, completely unsourced (so much for WP:V) and presumably the author's very own WP:OR. AFD is not a vote and WP is not a democracy. Angus McLellan (Talk) 15:13, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
