 * Delete per nom. Searching for additional sources brings up nothing but additional mentions in plot summaries, and no kind of actual discussion or analysis.  This could possibly be used as a Redirect to Rogue Trooper, though personally I'd imagine people using this as a search term may actually be looking for information on G.I. Joe (comics) instead.

 * Delete as I agree that it's not a very searchable term on its own since it is so broad. It doesn't look to be viewed very often to redirect to Rogue Trooper, anyway (not zero, but not frequent): last month, last year. -2pou (talk) 18:20, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete, article is sourced only to primary sources and described from an entirely in-universe point of view, and therefore it fails GNG and ALLPLOT. It is not a useful redirect, since anyone looking for this title would probably be more likely to be looking for information on G.I. Joe. Devonian Wombat (talk) 22:21, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
 * DELETE If the information isn't already in the main article you can merge it over, but this article needs to be deleted so people searching for G.I. Joe comic don't accidentally come here by mistake and get directed to the wrong place.  D r e a m Focus  02:08, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment if the current trend swings and this is kept, I would recommend moving to Genetic Infantry as a WP:NATURALDIS to avoid all the confusion referenced by every participants thus far. -2pou (talk) 05:38, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
 * What "current trend"? The nominator and four others said delete it, no one saying anything else.   D r e a m Focus  11:55, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Exactly. So far we have unanimous delete !votes (myself included), which I'm suggesting is the current trend: everyone !voting delete.  However, that is only after one day, and things could potentially change over the course of another six days.  If that trend were to swing, and we subsequently get 10 keep !votes that are convincing and potentially sway some existing delete !votes, possibly even improving the article a-la WP:HEY, then that kept article should still probably be moved.  Is that likely?  Probably not, but you never know.  Perhaps someone uncovers a number of print magazines or someone uncovers a number of publications they studied in college...  Likelihood? One in a million...?  "So you're telling me there's a chance..." GAHAHAHA!!!  *sigh* ... Hahaha!  ha... ha...  Classic.  -2pou (talk) 17:29, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
