Article is nothing but original research attempting to redefine a media franchise. There are no reliable sources to verify any of the claimed made in the article. Originally prodded for original research and verifiability, but the prod was disputed. —Farix (t | c) 20:20, 28 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge/redirect to franchise. It is occasionally used, especially of Gundam, but I see few hits and those are offhand. --Gwern (contribs) 21:57 28 September 2010 (GMT)
  • It would be an improper redirect since metaseries =/= Gundam.陣内_Jinnai 16:50, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Gwern was suggesting a redirect to franchise, not to Gundam - he was simply noting the term "metaseries" seems to most commonly be used in reference to Gundam. 「ダイノガイ千？！」^{? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000} 21:20, 2 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep (then merge) - WP:BEFORE #4. --Kvng (talk) 14:47, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete or redirect to Media franchise - there is no proper and valid redirect. Redirecting to Gundam is not appropriate as it isn't the only example of a "metaseries".陣内_Jinnai 16:50, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
