Operation British

WP:NOT violation. Extensive plot information with no out-of-universe context. The fictional event actually occurs before the series begins and simply referred or described by the narrator during the first few episodes. Article was already prodded last month, but was removed without any stated reason. Farix (Talk) 22:12, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete - this plot detail has no notability outside the series. It is written in an entirely in-universe style that violates WP:WAF as well. I was prodder for full disclosure. Savidan 22:33, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Redirect to One Year War. I agree with Edward and Farix, This does not need its own article, rather it is better as a redirect as basic information for it already exists. Mythsearcher looks like he is fixing up the article One Year War anyways.Knowledgekid87 (talk) 19:30, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect to One Year War At the time I made the article our fiction policy were more lax on the matter of offshoot pages, but I think that a merge to the parent OYW article would do this article good. TomStar81 (Talk) 23:54, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment The problem with redirecting to One Year War is that it too falls foul of many of the same policies as this article, such as WP:NOT. The lead of that article is better and probably should be incorporated into Mobile Suit Gundam, but the rest of the article is just an excessively detailed plot summary. And most of that should be covered by the episode lists. --Farix (Talk) 11:44, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Reply I am planning to trim the excessive plot in the OYW article, but I am afraid that the few edits I made in a little free time in office would make more mistakes than doing actual good when trimming. So it will not be touched for some time.  I am working on adding more sources to it to improve the notability issue right now. —Preceding signed comment added by MythSearchertalk  15:49, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect to One Year War or Mobile Suit Gundam, not merge, just redirect. Needless to say, this is not really notable to the general public and also, not even the official sources have lengthy discussion on the topic.  Also, I was editing the OYW article during office time, and may make more mistakes and will be very slow, anyone interested may help. thank you. —Preceding signed comment added by MythSearchertalk  15:49, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
