Do this even need its own page?[edit]

Does it? -The Big X 21:08, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not really. Although it was only section with out-of-universe information (good enough to stand on its own as a solo article), I only split it to reduce (and cleanup) the Megadeus article.

You could have proposed to merge it. It wasn't necessary to nominate for deletion.--Nohansen 22:12, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Big O (mecha)[edit]

Merge Back and Delete Pointless article to have, merge back into Megadeus. -The Big X 21:13, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Anime and manga-related deletions.--Nohansen 22:23, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Question Why did you create a deletion discussion for something you don't want deleted? This is what the {{mergeto}} tag is for. Leebo ^T/C 22:24, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I want it deleted after merged back into Megadeus. -The Big X 22:26, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merging always leaves behind either a redirect or nothing. If you decide the title Big O (mecha) is an unsuitable redirect after the merger, then it would be deleted for that reason. I'm telling you this is not the place to request a merge. Leebo ^T/C 22:29, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Does it leave a redirect if it is just being merged back into the article it came from? This is not really a merge discussion, the article was taken out of Megadeus, and I say put it back and delete it. -The Big X 19:33, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also, if I recall correctly, it would violate the GDFL to merge and delete. — Someguy0830 (T | C) 04:18, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What do you mean GDFL? -The Big X 19:33, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely. :) Hence, the requirement set out at WP:MERGE that the emptied page be labeled "#REDIRECT [[PAGENAME]] {{R from merge}}" and that the title of the destination article be noted in the edit summary. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 19:00, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep seems to be the main "mech" in an anime series about "mechs" Doc Strange 07:34, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep AfD is not the venue for merger discussions. I've been seeing a lot of these merger type AfDs recently. Perhaps this "merger argument" should be added to WP:ATA. --Farix (Talk) 11:53, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also, given the length of the article and the Megadeus article, that the article is well sourced, contains an out-of-universe perspective, and includes a smidgen of real world information about the mecha presence in another franchise, it should be find as a stand alone article. --Farix (Talk) 12:01, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and consider merge proposal per Help:Merging and moving pages. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 19:00, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep on procedural grounds and open a merge discussion on the page itself. An AfD is not a cleanup proposal venue. —Quasirandom 22:34, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep Not even the nom wants to delete it. Toohool 04:32, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Someguy0830 is right, merging and deleting would violate the terms of the GFDL, which states that all contributions have to be attributed to the user who provided them. Merging and deleting would result in the appareace of said contributions coming from the user who makes the merge rather than the original contributors. Leebo ^T/C 19:51, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

Move proposal[edit]

Moving it to The Big O (mecha) stimulates uniformity. -The Big X 04:35, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The mecha's name is solely "Big O", without "The". When Roger calls it, he says "Big O! Showtime!" (not "The Big O!"). Also, in this image, you can see there is no "The".--Nohansen (talk) 05:34, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It works now that on Megadeus we have taken the "The" off of Big Duo and Big Fau, so that there is uniformity, no need to rename now. -The Big X 22:20, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:The Big O (megadeus).JPG[edit]

Image:The Big O (megadeus).JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Dimensions[edit]

What is the height and weight of the Big O? 66.244.64.101 (talk) 22:34, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The official height of Big-O is supposed to be 30 meters, however this seems to be a conservative estimate on the part of the show's creators as Roger Smith is 2 meters tall. This would make Big-O only 15x taller than Roger which on occassions when he is seen with the machine and not piloting it, it seems Big-O is much more than 15x his height. No figures for Big-O's mass have ever been released to the best of my knowledge. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.132.6.31 (talk) 06:14, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
