Merger discussion: Heavy Gear and Heavy Gear (video game)

Should Heavy Gear be merged into Heavy Gear (video game)? Chetsford (talk) 16:20, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support The article Heavy Gear is in a poorly sourced state with no signs of improvement, nor clear possibility of improvement, and a high likelihood of deletion were it to be so nominated. While it seems very long by word count, much of the content can't exist due to lack of WP:V. I think merging the sourced content from it into a "Background" section created at the start of this article which would cover the offline game would be appropriate to preserve what can be preserved. Chetsford (talk) 16:20, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Reject Heavy Gear article is the primary topic here and the video game is based on that, not the other way around. If anything is to be merged it should be the video game merged as a section in the main Heavy Gear article, not the Heavy Gear into the video game article. I'd support a merge the other way around.

Reject it is neither customary nor logical to merge the original tabletop IP into the derivative Video game property, or vice versa. Also, the tabletop setting has multiple reliable sources available (the less popular Jovian Chronicles has six already presented at the the deletion discussion), so there is no likelihood of deletion. This merger discussion IMO is a waste of editorial time. Newimpartial (talk) 17:30, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose One is a tabletop game, the other is a video game. They are completely incompatible. If you think one or the other is non-notable then send it to AfD, but a merger is against Wikipedia guidelines._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 17:35, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - seems like Heavy Gear would be a good place to merge the company article into if that article does not survive AFD, which would only strengthen the base game's article, making a merge as suggested here preposterous. BOZ (talk) 18:26, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
