This fictional weapon does not establish notability independent of Zoids through the inclusion of real world information from reliable, third party sources. Most of the information is made up of original research, trivial model details, and unnecessary plot details. There is no current assertion for future improvement of the article, and this is too trivial to require any separate coverage. TTN (talk) 20:40, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect as plausible search term and merge anything verifiable in a list. Also, AFD says that deletion should be a final resort for things that cannot be solved with editing. The nominator has not shown there are no possible sources available which could help this article prior to nomination. - Mgm|(talk) 22:46, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge to List of Zoids as per Mgm. Edward321 (talk) 01:25, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Does not establish notability through significant coverage of real world context in reliable secondary sources independent of the subject. Jay32183 (talk) 04:31, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

- Keep, and of the three possible ways of keeping, decide between merge and just redirect on the article talk page, not here; no one is likely to argue for a separate article, and no one would have objected to a proper merge preserving a reasonable amount of content. As usual with these nominations, it wasn't tried. DGG (talk) 23:50, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per DGG and trout the nom for abusing AfD. -- Banjeboi 03:27, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep I came here to find out what a Saberlion was & was surprised to see the delete tag. Why would you delete it? Kellysontheroad (talk) 04:10, 9 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete as no one has made even the weakest of attempts to establish notability through significant coverage of real world context in reliable secondary sources independent of the subject. Boston (talk) 08:37, 9 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete: LOL you've gotta be kidding me, as per the nom; this fictional weapon obviously does not establish notability independent of Zoids and it obviously has no 3rd party sources. I do not think we should "trout" the nominator for "abuse" of the AFD process??? Ryan4314 (talk) 01:25, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Agreed. As this article doesn't even suggest the faintest whiff of real-world notability for the subject under discussion, the suggestion that the nominator should be reprimanded "for abusing AfD" process by nominating this is by far, for me, the Wikipedia head-scratcher of the month.
