Delete all These seem to be trivial lists of non-notable weapons, fails
WP:N when it comes to lists. I am for moving these to wikia if anyone wants to do that. -

Comment. The list I made is actually much better and out of universe than anything over there at Wikia. This is nothing more than a stupid pogrom for the sake of supposed notability issues people like TTN are quite fond of. --

Lets be
WP:CIVIL here (This goes for both of you). Eagle I understand that you feel the list should be included here on Wikipedia but you have not shown how it is notable in reliable sources. If you can provide some secondary sources about the subject and cite them then feel free to add them during this AfD. -

Knowledgekid don't talk to me about civility. well, before the Gundam Sentinel and even the Stardust Memory unit article existed in their current forms the text was copy pasted directly from Wikia. I made the effort to cull as much as I could to make it sound more out of universe. --

Merge list into
Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam where notability of neither the list nor the list elements is required per
WP:NNC. Most of the list is written using
WP:Real world wording, but some parts do occasionally fall into in-universe perspective narrative and need a copy edit to put the wording into real world perspective. No redirect needed after merge. The other three should be merged to their related articles, also.

What would you suggest merging and where would you place it? The list articles for the most part are entirely un-sourced fan included information. -

Uh, at the risk of repeating myself, merge the entire list as is (correcting in-universe perspective narrative as needed) into
Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam as an additional section. Inside the article it is properly sourced per
WP:PRIMARY and
WP:FICTIONPLOT (yes, I suppose someone should add the primary source citation). I would put it after "Plot summary".

Such long lists of pure plot information in articles give them undue weight, so they are almost always removed or cut down to an appropriate amount in ratio to their importance. For a person uninitiated with the series, the most they need to understand is that the characters pilot humanoid robots and whatever background information is relevant, probably limited to a paragraph. The character list can give a single sentence to mention that each character pilots "x robot with y defining characteristic." It is not extremely important that they know that the RX-110 Gabthley's production costs made the Federation favor the RX-139 Hambrabi. That's something suited to Wikia and their ability to go in-depth into such matters without worrying about this site's standards.

Delete all. These lists fail
WP:LISTN. I agree with TTN that merging this overly detailed information would be a bad idea and overwhelm any article that it was merged into. If someone wants to know this kind of trivia, they can always go to Wikia.
