Global Defense Initiative storyline
covers the same ground as Global Defense Initiative, which frankly I don't think needs an article either but that's for another time. Cruft-filled and bloated, fails WP:NOT, WP:ATT and whatever the game guidelines are that I simply cannot be bothered to look up at the moment. Fredrick day 21:06, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete a rehash of Global_Defense_Initiative. Why all this game cruft?  Is this not a walled garden? GDI characters of Command & Conquer, GDI technology of Command & Conquer, Kane (Command & Conquer), Colonel Burton, Brotherhood of Nod, Nod characters of Command and Conquer, Miscellaneous technology of Command & Conquer, etc, etc. etc. Are we there yet? Is there enough cruft already?  Why isn't one article, say Command & Conquer series, adequate coverage? Pete.Hurd 21:50, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
 * KeepImportant information that orginal article does not cover adquetely, considering altneartive endings, backstory, and other issues. --Eldarone 03:34, 25 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep Goes indepth about the plot on the GDI side of Command & Conquer. The C&C series is a big subject here as it can be seen in the template. --Gamer007 09:49, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Encyclopedic treatment of GDI would vastly bloat parent articles regarding Command and Conquer, and thus, per WP:FICT policy the article is permitted. I do think it needs to be cut back, and if an encyclopedic treatment does reduce it to managable levels then it should be combined with the main GDI article. Peptuck 19:14, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Notible game. Lots of sources for background story. Keeps the base article from becoming unwieldly. Turlo Lomon 12:13, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep In accordance with the Wiki policy of keeping the articles reasonably long, this page avoids making the Global defense Initiative article unfeasibly long. Mikael GRizzly 22:50, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
