Oh, boy! Another Game-guidish, crufty weapons article. No relevance to outside world; no references, let alone coverage of the weapons. Basically, the guidelines "which warrant that articles and information be verifiable, avoid being original research, and be written from a neutral point of view are held to be non-negotiable and cannot be superseded by any other guidelines or by editors' consensus. It is not veribfiable since it has no sources, has plenty of OR, and isn't written from a neutral point of view. 'Nuff said.

• Keep, because it passed an earlier discussion with nearly all keeps, is well-organized, even contains a nice picture, people are willing to edit it, etc., but I do think references would help. Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 18:02, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Good point bringing up the earlier discussion. It's important to have a good (and preferably new) reason to renominate something for deletion after an earlier discussion on the subject. However, I think this nomination does that, by bring up several core policies that weren't discussed in the previous AFD. Consensus can change when new arguments are raised. That said, it's possible to clean up the POV problems, but even if sources for this exist, it's pretty close to a game guide already. There is some legitimate debate over whether Wikipedia should remain an encyclopedia or become a knowledge megacompendium with game guides, etc. But its character is still fundamentally an encyclopedia. --chaser - t 20:17, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Strong KeepYhere is far too much information to merge with the worms article. Also, many weapons appear in all of the games so merging would be a little pointless. It did pass a previous nomination for deletion before so it clearly is a worthy article. The people that say that wikipedia isn't a game guide are right, but neither is the article. If the article was part of a game guide, it would say where and how to use the weapons. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Looneyman (talk • contribs) 20:43, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment in Wikispeak - Perhaps, but per WP:NOTAGAIN, WP:CCC, also WP:NOT#INDISCRIMINATE. WP:N, too. Remember, WP:AGF. --WaltCip 18:51, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Trivial, not particularly encyclopediac. • Lawrence Cohen 15:58, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge I don't see any reason it shouldn't be kept as a part of the Worms (series) or something like a Common Themes in the Worms Video Game Series article --Ioeth _{(talk contribs friendly)} 20:05, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per WP:NOT#GUIDE, or transwiki it if there's a better wiki for it.--Voxpuppet (talk • contribs) 07:10, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, but possibly trim some of the less notable weapons. --128.2.160.253 23:25, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
