[edit] History in Ace Combat
This article asserts zero notability through multiple reliable sources, and is an in-universe repetition of the plot of Ace Combat and other games plot sections. It is therefore totally duplicative and should be deleted. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 19:45, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
- Transwikify As the article creator, I cannot quite render an unbiased opinion, but I can explain why the article in question was created. First of all, the original Ace Combat-related articles were created in a kind of ad-hoc fashion, with various fans creating pages at will, often with little content and no verification. As the series continued to expand, it became clear to me that this was going to be a problem, as games kept coming out people would keep creating new articles with little centralization or unifying style and direction. Indeed, many of these individual articles were marked for deletion. Considering that this series is still going strong and thus had more to add in the future, I felt it was necessary to centralize this information so it could be more easily controlled as it was added (please see my original proposal and justifications here.) Thus I merged many of the Ace Combat articles into a few large articles. Unfortunately, these articles proved too large and unwieldy, so they had to be split again. However, my arguments for a centralized structure still were valid, so the split was along different lines from the merge. This article in particular was a split from the Nations and Organizations of Ace Combat article (now Nations of Ace Combat article,) the idea was that many of the articles about the individual nations contained redundant information and could be shaved off into its own article where it could be cleaned up. That article is this one. I certainly understand your desire to delete the article here, but I do not necessarily feel that is something that should be done speedily. I would certainly approve of transwikifying this information, if a destination wiki could be found. - Fearless Son (talk) 23:20, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
