Wikitroid:Requests for deletion/Omega Fusion Suit

Omega Fusion Suit
This is an article about an essentially non-canon concept under a fanon title, as well as an unexpandable stub. The majority of it consists of background info about the storyline events of Metroid Fusion. As to the topical content, there is little verifiable info on the subject and absolutely NO canon evidence that the so-called ‘Omega Suit’ is in any way structurally different from the standard Fusion Suit; in fact no evidence whatsoever that it is anything but a functional upgrade accompanied by a color change, just like the Metroid Fusion versions of the Varia and Gravity Suit upgrades. It doesn’t even appear on the inventory screen, and in the artwork it is a recolor of the basic suit just as the other two are. If we don’t have separate articles for the Fusion Varia and Fusion Gravity Suit, then a nameless upgrade which appears only in the last moments of the game certainly doesn’t warrant anything more than a mention on the Fusion Suit page, and definitely not a full article under a fan-given name. Once I removed the unverifiable fanon info, the article became more or less completely redundant to the newly-expanded article on the Fusion Suit, and since the extremely limited verifiable information about the ‘Omega Suit’ is included in that article, I felt that qualified as a merge and redirected there. Despite several other doubts expressed on the talk page about the name and validity of this article, however, an admin restored it and left a message on the talk page saying that the change was too major and “requires a vote” to be implemented, so I agreed to go through with this proper deletion nomination.( Though I would like to remind the admins at this juncture that AfD is not actually a vote, but rather a discussion on the merits of deleting vs. keeping an article, and is meant to be decided on the strength of the arguments, not the number of people taking either position.) --AMetroidGuy (talk) 08:34, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
