Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Metal Gear timeline
although there really is no point voting anymore since I'm clearly outnumbered. But at least let me clear up a misconception about this article: most of the information in this timeline is not |in-universe or |original research. Most of the information are in fact taken from game manuals and supplemental documents that were supplied with the games. In particular, the manual for ''Metal Gear Solid 3'' contains a detailed timeline from 1939 to 1964, while the manual for ''Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake'' contains a detailed timeline from 1986 to 1999. Other information was taken from the ''Previous Story'' sections of ''Metal Gear Solid'' and ''Metal Gear Solid 2'', the ''Briefing'' section of ''Metal Gear Solid'', and from the script in the ''Document of Metal Gear Solid 2''. It's not necessary for this article to be deleted but it just requires a clean-up. All it needs is for us to remove most of the information that are "in-universe" and only keep the information that is found in manuals and supplemental documents
