This list of fictional mecha from the universe of the Japanese anime and manga Eureka Seven is not notable in its own right. No reliable, third-party sources describing these mecha exist. If this article is deleted, I suggest content be moved to the Eureka Seven Wikia, though it is largely inactive. ɳOCTURNEɳOIR talk // contribs 06:29, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Nomination withdrawn. I withdraw with the hope that this article is improved with the sources mentioned so that the article is made notable and rewritten in a non-inuniverse manner. ɳOCTURNEɳOIR talk // contribs 06:25, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and rename to List of Eureka Seven mecha or List of Eureka Seven LFOs . I know that both the series and its mecha have been covered in several articles in Newtype USA starting with the October 2006 issue. Someone will have to check the back issues of Otaku USA as well as other anime magazines in both North America and in Japan. —Farix (t | c) 23:44, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • Even with these sources, is each type of mecha notable in their own rights outside of the universe? Perhaps if these influenced later mecha animes I would be more convinced. ɳOCTURNEɳOIR talk // contribs 00:44, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep These are as important as the characters, so I consider this just the same as a character list. Dream Focus 14:28, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • ...Which still needs some degree of reception in third party material to exist even then, Dream Focus.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 16:13, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      • No, it does not. The series has plenty of coverage. A character list does not require that. Dream Focus 11:28, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete There's really no third party material here to warrant a full article of this kind, and could easily be condensed into smaller material from what can be salvaged.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 16:13, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Tim Song (talk) 00:09, 21 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Like Farix said, I've seen coverage of this. The article is really long (like most list articles) and needs work. But I think there's a notable topic here, it just needs refinement. A page rename wouldn't be a bad idea either. --Kraftlos (Talk | Contrib) 11:15, 27 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
