[edit] Claridge Hi-Tec/Goncz Pistol

Claridge Hi-Tec/Goncz Pistol (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Raised at WP:AN/I. Doesn't appear notable. Likely advertising. AliceJMarkham (talk) 12:56, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment Seems to be speedied. scope_creep (talk) 12:59, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment. No such luck. Article name contains a / so I had to fix the nom manually. --AliceJMarkham (talk) 13:02, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep Used in Total Recall, now fetching a high price due to their cult status. Asserts notability, Yes, of course. scope_creep (talk) 13:04, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
    • Well, the article says it's used in Total Recall, but is there any independent evidence of that? The grainy screencap in the article is far from conclusive. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 13:41, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Indeed. We'd need an independent source (i.e. indepndent of Concz, who seems to be of a less than stellar reputation for honesty) otherwise it's orignal research. Guy (Help!) 17:42, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. No refs, either. Jeffpw (talk) 13:12, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. No refs, no evidence of notability, and it reads like advertising copy, not an encyclopedic article. Rdfox 76 (talk) 14:15, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Even if this weapon wasn't used in a film, I see no reason not to be comprehensive in our coverage on fire arms. - Mgm|(talk) 15:07, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete lack of reliable independent sources, likely advertising. Goncz's website doesn't even mention it, it just sells flashlights. Guy (Help!) 17:41, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
    It's listed in an editor's note: here. - jc37 (talk) 07:59, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. No sources, an advertisement, and possible criminal activity that wikipedia shouldn't be made a part of. ThuranX (talk) 00:20, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
    Criminal activity? What am I missing? - jc37 (talk) 07:59, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep (though with a much needed rename - pick one name or the other, and make the other a redirect). The "article" needs cleanup, but that shouldn't be a reason to delete. I am also not thrilled with the obvious lie on the talk page. The rant is rather obviously not from Goncz. ("fluent in 6 languages" for one thing...) - jc37 (talk) 07:59, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
