Descat

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This fictional weapon does not establish notability independent of Zoids through the inclusion of real world information from reliable, third party sources. Most of the information is made up of original research, trivial model details, and unnecessary plot details. There is no current assertion for future improvement of the article, and this is too trivial to require any separate coverage. TTN (talk) 22:51, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Does not establish notability through significant coverage of real world context in reliable secondary sources independent of the subject. Merging will not result in real world context, so that doesn't solve the problem. Jay32183 (talk) 23:05, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge probably not enough for a separate article, but as merged content it does not stand alone notability. I do not consider RWC necessary for all elelemnts of fiction--it is not necessary for the plot, or background or characters. They are all obviously fictional, and need to be treated as fictional. All that needs to be done as far as the real world is concerned, is to make it clear they are not part of it. (unlike fanfiction, which typically pretends otherwise) Perhaps we could arrange to have Jays comments and mine added along with the original nomination? At any rate, consider mine copied onto all the other ones. Its an abuse of deletion process to proceed at speed which makes it impossible to give proper individual attention or really look for sources in time. DGG (talk) 05:51, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge to List of Zoids. A particular element of a fictional universe only needs independent notability if it's covered independently (in its own article). As for real world content, the merged content only needs to be relevant. If the fictional universe covers real world content as Zoids does, the resulting article meets the policies and guidelines. - Mgm|(talk) 09:39, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
