Soulgain

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

This element of the Super Robot Wars series doesn't establish independent notability. Without coverage in reliable third party sources, these are just made up of unnecessary plot summary, game guide material, and original research. Relevant AfDs include Articles for deletion/Database (Super Robot Wars), Articles for deletion/Arado Balanga, Articles for deletion/AS Soleares/AS Alegrías, and Articles for deletion/Ruach Ganeden and more. All discussions resulted to deletion of the nominated articles. Magioladitis (talk) 23:06, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect as plausible search term and merge to the main article (or character list) if any verification can be done. No independent notability doesn't mean its not notable at all (it can be notable in the context of the fictional universe). - Mgm|(talk) 00:04, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. No reliable sources give any significant coverage to this fictional robot, failing notability standards. The background information and technical specifications are in-universe and out of the project's scope. There is no significant information that requires author attribution if any salvagable information is merged into a list: descriptions can be written by anyone.

 * Merge as should be usual no argument given for deletion rather than merging. Content to be merged in a combination article does not have to be independently notable, just documented--and the primary work is sufficient documentation for such characters. If the previous discussions resulted in delete rather than merge they should be reviewed. Fortunately,we're not bound by their bad precedent. A proper merge would have avoided all of this, so i assume the real quarrel is with the inclusion of content. DGG (talk) 06:32, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete for the same reason we deleted all the other Super robots elements (more than 50 articles). -- nips (talk) 15:50, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete and redirect: completely non-notable element, because there are no reliable third-party sources on this topic. Would not be resolved by merging a bunch of non-notable elements together, as that article would still lack reliable third-party sources. Randomran (talk) 07:10, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
