Delete – pretty blatant failure of WP:NOT#PLOT. No notability asserted either through any sources independent of the topic. — sephiroth bcr ^(converse) 04:30, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Excessive and crufty plot summary sourced entirely from primary sources. Spectacularly fails our requirements for reliable sources and notability. Reyk _YO! 05:36, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Transwiki to suggested locations, and redirect to Robotech Wars 76.66.193.90 (talk) 06:00, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment this article is a plot summary of season three of Robotech 76.66.193.90 (talk) 06:02, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or Transwiki To in-Universe and the approach for an anime summary as Real life military event is BAD. --KrebMarkt 07:59, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Transwiki to the Robotech Wikia and then delete. One of the more gross violations of WP:NOT#PLOT. The article also has issues with WP:V and WP:NOR. --Farix (Talk) 21:32, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This article is an accurate summary of the Third Robotech Saga television series. Robotech was one of the earliest and most important extrapolation of Japanese anime to a western audience. The article is sourced from the television series as well as the Robotech Novels. It should not be deleted.(Hyperionsteel (talk) 23:10, 3 March 2009 (UTC))[reply]

Comment WP:NOT trumps WP:ILIKEIT. --Farix (Talk) 23:22, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails Notability and WP:FICTION. In-universe original research. At most deserves mention in an article about the fictional work in which it appears. Lacks independent and reliable coverage in its own right. Edison (talk) 05:39, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep WP:SENSE trumps wikilawyering. If you don't like reading about this key aspects of an immensely popular and influential work, then aren't likely to ever find the article to begin with, and can simply ignore it. There is no reason to delete it. It does not help the wikipedia at all to destroy articles like this. Dream Focus 03:26, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Entirely plot summary and in-universe information for a non-notable fictional topic which has not received substantial in reliable secondary sources. Doctorfluffy (robe and wizard hat) 03:59, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Cruft per the usual reasons elucidated by the above dels. Jack Merridew 07:54, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as lacking real-world notability. Stifle (talk) 20:14, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete marginally referenced (and then only substantiating plot claims) in-universe plot summary for non-notable fictional event. --EEMIV (talk) 15:23, 7 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Merge all to Robotech Wars, apparently the parent with all these separately sent to AFD;

There seems to have been no effort to actually discuss merging usable content which may be the best solution. Looking at each AfD separately it wasn't clear they were related. Merging seems to make sense. -- Banjeboi 18:46, 7 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The war on cruft never ends.--Sloane (talk) 23:55, 7 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
