GN-0000 00 Gundam

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

Appears to be entirely in-universe plot summary and trivia. --EEMIV (talk) 07:48, 3 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete or Redirect to a related "list of ___" article. Wikipedia is not a repository for indiscriminate material, and per normal policies towards fictional material, subjects such as these, unless notable in the fiction itself (WP:FICTION), does not deserve its own article. &eta;oian   &Dagger;orever &eta;ew &Dagger;rontiers  09:14, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge to List of Mobile Suit Gundam 00 mobile units 76.66.198.171 (talk) 10:13, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete- A merge to the abovementioned list might be appropriate if a) there was any sourced information that could be salvaged, and b) if this particular suit wasn't already mentioned there. Reyk  YO!  10:47, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - I don't see anything worth merging. --B. Wolterding (talk) 16:29, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of Mobile Suit Gundam 00 mobile units, but without prejudice to recreation when a reliably sourced article appears. — PyTom (talk) 18:03, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep it because the the 00 Gundam is more detailed than the other you just gotta give it time to get bigger. Tylerwade123 —Preceding undated comment was added at 18:47, 3 January 2009 (UTC).


 * Delete Not every event, place, character, battle or gizmo in a piece of fiction or a computer game needs its own article, if it lacks independent coverage. Edison (talk) 21:10, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Possible keep We need an argument for why we ought not to cover these, not for why we cannot. The quality of this article makes it clear we can cover them if we want to. My own thought remains that a comparative article discussing them in brief and in parallel is the way to go. The only problem with that approach is because it will be the next one up to be deleted. The key reason for why we might not want to is that I cant imagine anyone caring very much about the detail who needs to find the information here rather than wikia, but that is a reflection of my own total lack of interest in the subject, and I decline to judge on that basis, or we'd remove all of a number of classes of professions and a good many genres which I think intrinsically worthless.

 * Comment it is not the detail but the notability. If it is part of a fictional series, which is notable as I said above, then yes, the series deserves a article, but not every little whimsical thing in the series, regardless of how much "detail" we could provide. That should be left to a wikia type encyclopedia. Wikipedia is not a "in-universe" guide to all Gundams, look at how long the List article is! If it doesn't establish notability, then it doesn't deserve a wiki article, per WP:FICTION and WP:NOT. Also consider WP:NOHARM. (I'm reiterating what I think is the general procedure for fictional subjects such as this btw) &eta;oian  &Dagger;orever &eta;ew &Dagger;rontiers  05:41, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep as primary protagonist mobile suit in a Gundam series. The name of the series is derived from the name of this mobile suit. This is not just any whimsical thing. --Polaron | Talk 16:35, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep as per Polaron. Edward321 (talk) 17:36, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep as per Edward321 echoing Polaron. Ecoleetage (talk) 21:55, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge relevant info to suitable location. Not notable outside of the series. Ryan 4314   (talk) 13:42, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per Edward321. Jtrainor (talk) 15:08, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge or redirect to list. This fictional element does not have the independent notability required to have a standalone article. In fact, the article doesn't have a single third party source and is entirely a plot summery. It may, however, be covered by a list per WP:FICT. The same can be said for almost all of the other standalone Mobile Suit Gundam 00 since they all have the same issues. --Farix (Talk) 15:22, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment I don't care if this article is kept or merged - just so long as it is ACTUALLY MERGED, lest we wind up with with a WP:NOTAGAIN situation like the one unfolding at Articles for deletion/List of Gundam Universal Century mobile units (2nd nomination). 208.245.87.2 (talk) 18:01, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete I believe that this article needs to be deleted; technical specs of the Mobile Suit can be found on other websites, or from watching the series. Wikipedia should not contain this level of detail of an in-universe fictional topic - it should probably be reserved for a GundamWiki Project. Plus, the general information of this Mobile Suit's technology is partly covered under List of Mobile Suit Gundam 00 technology and I don't believe it needs to be repeated on this article. Just my two cents, have a good day. Huaf822k (talk) 09:48, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
