List of mobile suit operating systems[edit]

List of operating systems within a comic series? More suitable for a anime wiki, but not wikipedia, per WP:NOT Oscarthecat 06:27, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge - this article is too narrow in focus, but would do well as a section in the Cosmic Era article. See that talk page. This, I think, would be an ideal compromise.

from the merge discussion: The article List of mobile suit operating systems deals with operating systems exclusive to the Cosmic Era. This article is small and could use some additional content. With the other one being considered for deletion, would it not be a perfect compromise to absorb that content in here? It makes logical sense prima facie. Thoughts?

Delete, no real-world impact. --Eyrian 13:26, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
Delete. Written from a very in-universe perspective in violation of WP:WAF. If these are important elements to the series they may warrant a trim and merge back to a parent article, but as it stands this is material unsuitable for inclusion. ɑʀкʏɑɴ 16:41, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete More Gundam world items. While I respect that someone is interested in what appears to be a very detailed fictional universe, there is a limit to how much an encylopedia should be inclusive of fantasy rather than reality. There are other websites, besides Wikipedia, that can host something of such unlimited magnitude, and such limited interest. Mandsford 00:32, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as a reasonable way to cover a defining subject in a clearly notable anime saga. And believe it or not, people do write guide books to this series. It is clearly a list of fixed scope, namely mobile units in a given anime, which is hardly indiscriminate. Content could be improved, but that's not a deletion reason. Oh, and try to be more explicit than just WP:NOT. FrozenPurpleCube 01:32, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per other AFD - Just as inappropriate as cars in ____ would be under WP:NOT#GAMEGUIDE and no different than List of objects in <fictional show>. No real world coverage Corpx 03:54, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - no reliable, verifiable out-of-universe third party sources to establish its notability. Sephiroth BCR ^(Converse) 04:02, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
MERGE - I agree with VigilancePrime. This article deals specifically with Mobile Suit Operating Systems from the Cosmic Era and would fit very well within that article. The other various lists of Gundam-related things (see the Articles for Deletion section of Wikiproject Gundam for examples) could also be merged with the articles about their respective Eras. -Rycr 07:41, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - no real-world impact verified: until then, purely in-universe cruft. Moreschi ^Talk 20:12, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep Bad faith nom, per the other Gundam AfDs this user has started. Jtrainor 20:15, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Note: second comment by this user. --Eyrian 20:18, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Sorry bout that. I had all the Gundam AfDs open at once and forgot I already posted in this one. Previous one removed. 01:19, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Delete - hugely crufty. Artw 20:17, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Jtrainor. WP:NOT, same rationale, blah blah blah. This is why I quit editing Wikipedia... MalikCarr 22:19, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per VigilancePrime. Not significant enough to merit its own article. --Polaron | Talk 01:22, 25 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Not notable enough to ever have real references. There are at least two Gundam Wikis where this would be much more appropriate.[1] [2]Sbacle 18:56, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
