Reasons why the deletionist erased your contribution to the Gantz article

I agree with you that the Gantz equipment should be listed somewhere. Originally it was on the main page, along with a lot of other things dozens of editors contributed over the years, but then Collectonian showed up one day and erased most of the article. After some reverts back and forth, I asked for a third party opinion, as no other editors were around to comment. A couple others posted they agreed the article was too long, but wouldn't discuss it farther. So it was 3 to 1, to get rid of that information, based on length.

Later I decided to make a side page for the information called List of Gantz equipment. Collectionian took note of this after an argument with me on my user page about something else, and nominated it for deletion. Seven people voted to delete it, I the only one voting it should remain. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_Gantz_equipment

If you really want that information on the main page, just do a poll on the talk page, and more editors want it than don't, you can add it in without problems.

A lot of the original information that was erased, got moved over to the Gantz wikia at http://gantz.wikia.com/wiki/Gantz_Wiki where you are free to add in as much detail as you wish. If you are a fan of the series, I thought you might want to know about that. All the information erased I copied over there to preserve it, and then various people added to it.
