MS-17 Galbaldy Alpha

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Unsourced and non-notable fancruft and/or original research. Zero assertion of real world significance. Merely a plot summary. Contested prod.

And remember, don't just vote keep because you like it. If you do so, you're expected to address the problems above. MER-C 08:04, 1 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. This is the tip of the iceberg I fear... The Rambling Man 09:06, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually, it is. This nomination is part of a systematic purge of Gundam articles I started, which is still ongoing. It was once far worse:  . MER-C 09:23, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Merge to main article on the series or to Principality of Zeon per WP:FICT. Isn't notable enough to merit its own article, but I wouldn't call it OR (how can anything be OR that comes directly from a published series?). Walton monarchist89 10:46, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete/merge/but probably best to send over to Gundam wiki. I've also nominated a whole chunk of these for deletion, and I fear that very few of these have the potential to become encyclopedic. Moreschi Deletion! 11:36, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete from Wikipedia. Would be right at home in a Wiki devoted to the series. All original research. No evidence it has multiple independent coverages in reliable sources. Edison 20:58, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge per the other articles like this. Yes, I agree that they can't stand on their own, (*looks at infobox* dear GOD no) but it would be nice to be able to have a chance to merge these into a minor character list-ish article.  It's not OR, most of the info is from the series itself or the official website.  I myself am going to go through and push for some merges (albeit I'm starting with the series I'm more familiar with) but that's a lot of articles to deal with right away.

 * Delete per WP:FICT on minor fictional elements not getting their own articles and WP:NOT on plot summary. 'Merge' may not be consistent with Manual of Style (writing about fiction) which suggests out-of-universe perspective and discourages this kind of in-universe focus. I agree with Moreschi that it would be welcomed at the Gundam wiki.--maclean 01:22, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per above searches... Addhoc 20:26, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge per Walton monarchist89. This mecha has no model kits of it and has not appeared in any genre-spanning titles (e.g. Super Robot Wars) so it lacks real world impact as is. MalikCarr 04:16, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
