MS-10 Pezun Dowadge

 * — (View AfD)

Fails WP:V and WP:RS, unsourced, no reliable sources either to confirm the article's content or to support notability. Written from a completely non-real-world perspective, so fails WP:FICT. Reads like fancruft and original research. Quite apart from which, articles about fictional weapons? C'mon. Moreschi Deletion! 09:43, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment So they should be deleted because they are fictional weapons? Do you feel the same about Lightsaber and Death Star? Edward321 00:47, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per all the above. --Folantin 11:07, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per my nom in Articles for deletion/RX-78 Gundam. MER-C 12:31, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge and cleanup per WP:FICT. There is no point in deleting this when it can be merged and cleaned up under WP:FICT's guidelines, and the nominators are not given other editors time to evaluate and cleanup these articles. Also, if sources are a problem, then they should be requested first. The nominators have made no attempt to do so. --Farix (Talk) 13:06, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment The burden of finding reliable sources falls on the creators of the article, not the nominator for deletion, as per policy WP:V. Bwithh 12:33, 12 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete: no assertion of notability even within the fictional universe. While minor characters/places/things can be merged, trivial things should just be deleted as Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. --Pak21 14:25, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per Pak21. Edison 15:37, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep While I suspect that I would vote for merge or delete were this article proposed singly, the sheer volume of recent nominations for deletion in this category makes the already short time to assess and/or improve said articles completely inadequate.  Edward321 00:28, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep pending a more reasonably organized deletion discussion. AfDs in this manner are in bad taste and wastes time on both sides. -- Ned Scott 06:43, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - sorry, Ned, but that's no better reason for keeping than WP:ILIKEIT. Cheers, Moreschi Deletion! 08:55, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. In universe, OR, trivia, no assertion of why this particular fictional weapon is particularly notable in its field.  Proto ::  ►  12:03, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as above. Some Gundum robot thingies are wellknown enough for their own articles. This one seems to be quite obscure even for Gundam fans, and there's a hefty bit of crufty info too. Bwithh 12:33, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment This suit does seem a bit too obscure to have its own article (which is why I vote Merge), however, no one looks up stuff in an encyclopedia that they already know. The idea is to find out stuff that you don't already know. Xenon Zaleo 05:51, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge and Cleanup per WP:FICT. In the case of Fictional items, WP:FICT would supercede the cited policies, as it makes no sense otherwise (why have a seperate specific policy for a fictional items if it's outranked by a more general policy?). Also, assertion that the article isn't written in a "real-world perspective" (while this this seems completely subjective and a questionalble assertion to me), even if true, isn't grouds for deletion, as it's a simple matter to re-write information from a different perspective. If there's a problem with having fictional material on Wikipedia, nominator should propose changes to policy instead of trying to backdoor his way through. Xenon Zaleo 22:36, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep If contents are arranged definitely, there is not a problem.--shikai shaw 07:10, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per Moreschi and Pak21. I don't see how a 'merge' is an option if the entire content of the article is simply an 'in-universe' Gundam guide. --maclean 07:17, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
