Nations of Ace Combat

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

This article asserts zero notability through reliable sourcing, and is just an in-universe repetition of information in the plot and setting sections of the Ace Combat articles. As such, it is duplicative of those articles and should be deleted. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 20:04, 26 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Transwikify As the article creator, I cannot quite render an unbiased opinion, but I can explain why the article in question was created. First of all, the original Ace Combat-related articles were created in a kind of ad-hoc fashion, with various fans creating pages at will, often with little content and no verification.  As the series continued to expand, it became clear to me that this was going to be a problem, as games kept coming out people would keep creating new articles with little centralization or unifying style and direction.  Indeed, many of these individual articles were marked for deletion.  Considering that this series is still going strong and thus had more to add in the future, I felt it was necessary to centralize this information so it could be more easily controlled as it was added (please see my original proposal and justifications here.)  Thus I merged many of the Ace Combat articles into a few large articles.  Unfortunately, these articles proved too large and unwieldy, so they had to be split again.  However, my arguments for a centralized structure still were valid, so the split was along different lines from the merge.  I certainly understand your desire to delete the article here, but I do not necessarily feel that is something that should be done speedily.  I would certainly approve of transwikifying this information, if a destination wiki could be found.  - Fearless Son (talk) 23:21, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Transwiki and delete It's nice work but if it's not covered in depth in secondary sources then it's not suitable for WP, however it would be a real shame to waste. Someoneanother 21:43, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * The wikia site has articles for individual nations but seemingly no umbrella article, this would make a useful addition to the site. Someoneanother 21:50, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
