Metal Gear timeline compared to reality[edit]

Blatant original research, combined with some wild speculation about the intents of the game designers and events not actually depicted in the games. This was prodded, but it was deprodded without comment by an anon who never made any other edits. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 03:55, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom. Unsourced O.R. cruft essay.--Fuhghettaboutit 04:11, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, as a fan of the game I can see a well-referenced and shortened version of this article existing as a subsection of one of the Metal Gear pages, but not as it currently exists. Definitely OR and speculative. -- H·G (^words/_works) 05:31, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Don't delete this is very interesting, and probably should be merged with another article, albeit, a shorter version --Superbub

• Delete Metal Gear timeline is a valid topic and you may mention where it splits from reality there, but to do more than that is pretty blatant OR. The timeline is already sufficiently covered in other articles, so delete. Ace of Sevens 12:44, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy delete, such nonsense. --CharlotteWebb 19:08, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, total WP:OR and gamecruft. --Kinu ^t/_c 19:34, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per above, certainly original research. --SevereTireDamage 23:32, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge into something such as Metal Gear; it's an interesting read (whether or not you play Metal Gear games), and shows what parallels Konami and Hideo Kojima and those drew from real life for the games. -- gakon5 00:42, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - While it may be interesting, comparisons and synthesis most certainly fall under OR. Wickethewok 12:50, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
