Might be some kind of trivia from a game. Like most of these things there is a total lack of context. There are some hits on Google but I still haven't figured out what it is. --
- Keep The history, the backstory of Gundam, is what makes it so cool. The lines of developing new models of mobile suit are significant (from a fictional geeky fanboy point of view). From thi document, we look to the next Zack and trace the evolutionary lines. Yeah, love me that evolution stuff.

- Um if you try "what links here" it seems to be some kind of mobile suit from Gundam, so it should probably be merged into something there. Kappa 18:13, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Merge into a suitable Gundam article, otherwise delete. Rje 20:13, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Delete this cruft. Wyss 01:50, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Delete: Thoroughly ignorable item from a cartoon. Geogre 04:37, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Keep. Fits right in with the other mobile suit articles, take a look at Category:Gundam Mobile Suits. Trying to merge all this into one article would be hopelessly unweildy, why not leave them as is? Bryan 05:00, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Most of those are from Gundam Seed (see Category:Gundam Seed). Hopelessly overspecified. They definitely need to be merged. Did you see Template:Gundam Seed mobile weapons? 132.205.15.43 04:46, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)

- I sugest that one new article be created called "Zaku Series" into which this and the "MS-06F Zaku II" could be placed, as the history of this model doesn't seem to be deep enough to justify seperating it from the Zaku II.Aziraphale Jasra 11:13, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Keep or merge into Zaku series or similar, supporting Bryan and Aizraphale Kappa 17:44, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Merge into an article on the general history of the Zaku series. Iceberg3k 04:11, Jan 5, 2005 (UTC)
- MERGE into Gundam Universal Century mobile suits. 132.205.15.43 04:43, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Keep: An article of this nature is important to the Universal Century. Deleting it deprives ordinary people in general and Gundam fans in particular the ability to improve upon it. Additionally, I'm trying very hard to match mobile suits such as this one with the ships that carried them; deleting articles such as these only makes my job harder. If you want to merge it, consider Zeon Mobile Suit Series (Gundam). TomStar81 04:52, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- There seems to be a tendency among some members of the Wikipedia community recently to purge the Wikipedia of any elements that they consider to be "fancruft" (which seems more to be a generic identifier for anything in pop culture that falls outside of the narrow purview of their personal interests) regardless of whether or not anybody else might find the information interesting or relevant.
