Fails WP:VGSCOPE #9 as an extensive version history. Fails GNG as a subsection, though could be incorporated back into main article. czar · · 20:18, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

And PROD was removed. czar · · 20:23, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect. Why are you wasting people's time with this? -- 173.247.200.74 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 22:37, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Because the PROD was contested and I wanted to do due diligence. czar · · 23:33, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Does not pass WP:GNG or warrant a split from the main article. Only content not already in the main article (basically, the lead) is WP:GAMECRUFT. To above "merge" suggestion, I have to ask WP:MERGEWHAT exactly? Version history and each version's details are trivia that we don't include. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 12:45, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - WP:NOTCHANGELOG would seem to apply. I don't see that there is anything to merge. -- Whpq (talk) 21:18, 23 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per above. I see some verifiable material that could be merged into the main article, but WP:NOTCHANGELOG. --Batard0 (talk) 15:32, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Which content is that? — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 15:40, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - The detailed descriptions under the version headings, although it would have to be sourced and should be done selectively to avoid undue weight. --Batard0 (talk) 18:15, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
~~Keep and stub~~ - The FlightGear topic meets WP:GNG: Machine Design August 3, 2000, Linux gaming: publishers not playing with the penguin? Deutsche Presse-Agentur April 19, 2003, Aerospace America January 1, 2005, [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7]. I posted these links on the article talk page. Stub the article to only include the lead paragraph. If someone wants to expand the article using reliable source material, they can use the sources on the article talk page and what was discussed in this AfD. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 13:48, 27 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into FlightGear article - Oops. I was reviewing the FlightGear topic (I assumed the "History of FlightGear" article was misnamed). The history itself does not meet WP:GNG, so there is no reason for a spinnoff article. The history can be covered in the FlightGear article. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 13:53, 27 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
