Outer Heaven

Wholly non-notable article about a video game. Deletionist 03:43, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. I suspect bad-faith nomination due to the nominator's user ID. Only two edits so far. Sock check? Firebug 03:46, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC) (Update: It appears that the user has approximately 50 edits, not two.)

  You must not have looked at my contributions correctly. Please vote on the merits of this article, which is about some minor part of a fictional game which is clearly non-notable. Deletionist 03:49, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

  • Personally I would like to know what Deletionist's main account actually is. Such user names smell faintly of WP:POINT. Radiant_* 09:21, Apr 20, 2005 (UTC)
  • Additionally, note that Deletionist has just been blocked indefinitely. Radiant_* 11:25, Apr 20, 2005 (UTC)

• Merge. Cannot see that this warrants an article. -- Egil 03:49, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, too big to merge comfortably. It would be nice to be able to mark it as a sub-page, so random page users wouldn't be troubled by it. Kappa 03:56, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Yeah, too big, but only the 1st paragraph is even slightly encyclopedic IMO. Delete or Merge in that order. Marblespire 04:20, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as per Kappa--disagree with Marblespire on this one. Meelar (talk) 05:27, Apr 20, 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with a Metal Gear article. Not really that notable to warrant a seperate article. Megan1967 05:50, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Merge per Megan. Radiant_* 09:21, Apr 20, 2005 (UTC)
• I agree with Megan, if you cut out the section about how its referenced in other metal gears and just merge it with metal gear this isn't really a difficult merge--nixie 14:08, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 17:42, Apr 20, 2005 (UTC)
• Condense and merge, as per Megan --Carnildo 22:31, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, stands on its own, but it needs cleanup. Merge if you must. -Casito⇝Talk 00:11, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and expand. While I can understand Deletionist's reasoning (although, I do suspect his motives too, considering his username) for wanting to delete the article, I think there's still potential for this article. Outer Heaven is an integral place in the Metal Gear games which is referred alot in the later games for it to be simply merged with the Metal Gear (video game) article. There's entries for less significant video game characters and keyterms, yet I don't see anybody deleting them.
• keep it please Yuckfoo 01:02, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• keep --EisenKnoechel 13:47, Apr 27, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and expand. Can't see why delete it. It's a good complement for the Metal Gear article, but I don't think it should be merged, as the majority of the other units referred on the article (Cobra Unit, Dead Cell, Foxhound, etc) have their own page.
