Deleted at a previous AFD but relisting here due to concerns raised at DRV. My recommendation is to delete as indiscriminate trivia about fiction and original research. Stifle (talk) 20:18, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not, which includes "Wikipedia articles are not simply plot summaries", is most certainly official Wikipedia policy. A mere "mention" of a trap in a review does not constitute a reliable source that is substantively about the traps in general or a particular trap. Otto4711 (talk) 21:28, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
"Delete. Fancruft. Not covered in reliable sources. Just because it can't be merged into the film or the fim series doesn't mean we need an article on it. The article consists of WP:OR and WP:PLOT information almost entirely. Links to photos on EBAY as sources??? Links to Photobucket shots of the script as sources???? How did this survive AfD before? I strongly suggest that the closing admin look at the article prior to closing this if there is even a hint that it might be closed as "no consensus, default to keep". There isn't a single reliable source posted. Not even to reviews of the movie. Doesn't belong on wikipedia." Protonk (talk) 19:13, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
NOTE: This deletion discussion has been hopelessly corrupted by canvassing attempts by Wikiproject Saw via their October newsletter delivered to users by CyberGhostface (talk · contribs) (example). The newsletter implores readers to go and argue here why this article should be kept, not help decide it's fate, but actively ask them to vote to keep it. Newsletter has been delivered to 28 editors [1]. Plus, CyberGhostface canvassed someone else to vote here [2] which resulted in the person responding affirmatively [3] and then voted here to keep the article [4]. Discussion should be immediately closed as hopelessly corrupted. AfD is NOT a vote. --Hammersoft (talk) 23:10, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Graphically highlights the different methods used to torture and kill people in the Saw films.Not crazy about the Wikipedia article's plot detail, but this magazine article gives a little more weight to talking about the "methods" (mostly traps). If anyone has Empire, this might be worth finding out about this look at traps from a secondary source. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 01:24, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
