 * Delete - cruft, non-wikified, unencyclopedic, pick your poison. --FCYTravis 06:26, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete minor games cruft. JamesBurns 06:42, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete but leave a stub. It is a notable game series, simply a very poorly written entry. see below. jglc | t | c 06:49, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete but leave a stub....maybe someone else can write something three time shorter and three times better. -Phantym 07:02, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: "Delete but leave a stub?" That seems contradictory. Do you maybe mean "Keep, stubbify"?   &mdash; Gwalla | Talk 07:23, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Commment: Yes, but in the light of Mega Man Zero, I change to Redirectjglc | t | c 13:48, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, stubbify. Kappa 07:48, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and Clean up. It's worthy of its own article but it could use some wikifying and some reorganization. -Tadanisakari 08:04, Jun 10, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep It needs to be cleaned up, but it is notable enough to stay. Some of you should check the definition of 'Cruft'. Sonic Mew 08:22, Jun 10, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, rewrite as stub. Proto 10:09, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Change my vote to merge with Mega Man Zero - although all information is duplicated, so a simple redirect might be better. Proto 13:46, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

*Extreme cleanup. The game is very real and notable, but the article is gawd-awful. Salvage is possible. Jamyskis 10:11, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC) Scrub that, I'll go with Nestea and say Redirect to Mega Man Zero. A hard learned lesson to check alternative spellings. Jamyskis 14:29, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge with the significantly better article Mega Man Zero. I'm right in assuming they are related yes? -- Lochaber 10:10, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete and redirect to Mega Man Zero. Nestea 10:37, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment - doh *slaps forehead* ;-) Jamyskis 11:05, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Redirect to the already-written Mega Man Zero, which while itself needs cleanup is in a much better state. --Boco XLVII 19:40, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Comments
I've fallen into the trap of making articles when others exist, it can spawn different versions of articles as we've seen. Perhaps a Wikiproject group to handle redirects would be useful, or perhaps a janitoral Wikigroup if one doesn't exist :). --ShaunMacPherson 12:15, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Yep, that's easy to do. Sometimes the wiki search helps, but I find my bookmark to use google better.  Now, if I can only remember to use it.  Oh, this problem also happens when different editors put the same data in different articles. Vegaswikian 06:24, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
