Earth (Ace Combat)

This article asserts no notability through reliable sources, and is just an in-universe plot repetition of information in Ace Combat articles. It is therefore duplicative and should be deleted. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 20:17, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been added to the list of video game deletions. Someone another 06:14, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Dusti^{talk to me} 18:49, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Fails WP:FICT: almost entirely in-universe, no evidence of real-world notability. Terraxos (talk) 05:42, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to the appropriate Ace Combat article. If the information is already available elsewhere, then delete. Celarnor ^{Talk to me} 09:09, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep Quite notable and really helps understand the Ace Combat universe. I firmly believe an outsider would have a far more difficult time understanding the universe without this article. --Armanalp (talk) 19:22, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Repetition of plot details (WP:NOT#PLOT) mixed with a list of locations (which have little relevance to gameplay) in an article which does not stand as a notable topic. This genre of games does not lend itself to a world or locations article at all. Players don't pick up Ace Combat games thinking "great, more adventures on an alternative earth", "Eat my sidewinder, punk" is the game's hook. Someone another 21:25, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep Having just picked up my first Ace Combat game I found the article extremely helpful. I must disagree with Someone another, I and many others enjoy lore, background, etc with any aspect of entertainment and this article allowed me to appreciate the series more then I would have been able to before. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.60.108.242 (talk) 20:32, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, Wikipedia is not a gameguide, and this is policy, not guideline. "Usefulness" is a depreciated argument. Lord Uniscorn (talk) 22:38, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep really well put together article with lots of references and even more published references easily available to anyone who wants to improve the article further. Has notability to people in the real world. Best, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 02:46, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, actually, could be merged to Ace Combat series page nicely as that page is only 10kb and could absorb this easily. Cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 10:07, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
