Really not sure why these are separate.

Expansions are generally treated as separate games on this site. While it is true that Gods & Kings is unplayable without the main game, precedent set by other games and expansions suggests that Gods & Kings needs its own page. See for example the WorldofWarcraftexpansions, the Oblivionexpansions or the CivIV ones.

EDIT: While not set in stone (I think), rule of thumb for DLC/expansions is if it's released as a retail disc it gets its own page.

we really need a definite ruleset for these kinds of things. there's so much confusion out here and pages created or not created because of it.

It's not like this is a 10$ COD mappack.

This is a full fleshed 30$ expansion.

That is correct. That's why the Battlefield: Bad Company 2: Vietnam expansion page got deleted while the old Battlefield 1942 expansion pages still exist (for example).

If Gods and Kings has a retail disc version, then it should stay, otherwise merge and delete it.

Expansions of this size get their own page I believe.

Expansion packs and DLC released on retail discs get their own pages. Also once a wiki page has had staff content attached to it, as this is page is, it is no longer open to deletion.
