Knightmare Frame[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Long list of fictional mechanical devices. Full of Original research and Plot summary with no discussion about their creation or development from a real world perspective. The reception section doesn't actually discuss the focus of the article but rather the series in general. Sources are largely spread between primary/secondary media and online stores. The ANN source doesn't discuss the devices at all. Even assuming reception information could be found, I don't see any reason this could not simply be noted on the parent article. While AFD is not cleanup, the chances of the work being done on the article body are extremely slim.

The article was kept at AFD in 2008, however much of that AFD does not read well (and if anything was balanced between votes) and the article has not been improved since then. The issues still remain and are less likely to be resolved now. SephyTheThird (talk) 17:58, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and Trim The website does treat these like characters [1] [2] with each having its own profile, however, the detail spent on each is excessive and unreferenced, even to the official anime websites. There is also not much to show these would be notable outside of the Code Geass world, like whether they show in crossover video games and such as with many of the Gundams. This should be compacted into a dictionary list on the main page with groupings and basic description. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 20:15, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment These may be a better fit for a fan Wikia: [3]. For some reason our article has more text about the model than the fan Wikia's article? Missing all the metrics, however. --Mr. Magoo (talk) 21:13, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Merge/Redirect. These mecha have not received significant independent coverage in reliable sources to write a verifiable article about them. While there is a lot of information cited to official sources, like the nominator says, there is insufficient coverage for real-world information such as impact, reception, or conception. Thus they do not meet our notability guidelines to warrant an independent article. Opencooper (talk) 18:43, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Merge if needed then Redirect as there's simply nothing else to suggest its own article as it's only connected to the series itself. SwisterTwister talk 20:01, 15 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
