Or, depending where you look, the Delta Plus could also be considered the development of the Delta Gundam and Delta Gundam Kai despite that making little sense due to the Delta Plus just being a better Delta Gundam and not looking all that much like the Delta Gundam Kai(Which has much higher specs and a special n.i.t.r.o system on top of looking like a real Gundam).

So in other words, no you have no actual written/documented proof that it's recognized officially as a Gundam. Well, once you do we'll talk then, because there's no point in this run-around you're attempting.

Well that's the beauty of the internet, you don't have to pay money to post a scanned picture of a model's boxart to make your point. That said, I have looked at the boxart for the Delta Plus and it's not listed as a Gundam.

There's numerous mobile suits in the franchise that look like Gundams despite not being Gundams. Just because it has a head similar to a Gundam isn't enough to make it actually a Gundam--the ZII, another successor to the Zeta Gundam project of mobile suits (of which the Delta Gundam and Delta Plus are a part of) has a Gundam head, complete with V-fin and chin and dual eye optics, but lacks any designation as a Gundam. This occurrence is common in the franchise, and not just limited to UC.
