Seven years ago this was kept, with, sigh, the prevailing argument being "it appears in several anime series" so WP:ITSIMPORTANT. Let's see me be clear: this is not a valid argument. I cannot find any independent, in-depth coverage about this having significant cultural impact or such. Anyone can find some refs which discuss this robot that are not fansite/plot summaries? I can't :( Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 11:22, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect perhaps as of course best connected to that but nothing convincingly suggesting a better separate article. SwisterTwister   talk  00:06, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect where? --Michig (talk) 08:12, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Move and Redirect to it's appropriate character list article. Tpdwkouaa (talk) 01:00, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Where should it be moved to and once it has been moved, where should it be redirected to? And why? --Michig (talk) 08:12, 18 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Redirect - Without a sources to establish notability, there is no need for an article. TTN (talk) 21:06, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect where? --Michig (talk) 08:12, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect target could be List of Mobile Suit Gundam characters. I suggest pinging people when you post here, I doubt TTN will see your comment otherwise. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 12:56, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
