This very short article fails notability guidelines. A Google search came up with 75 instances of "buccaneer knife", none of which indicates that there is a separate type of "buccaneer knife" as opposed to other kinds of knifes. The article itself does not contain anything worth mentioning either, or establish the subject's notability. Constantine ✍ 19:39, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Lacks about exactly definition of bucaneer knife. Sounds like original research. Zero Kitsune (talk) 00:34, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. The Horrible Histories are a series of children's books, but they're written in such a way as to make things more accessible for kids. I think the creator is well-intentioned but has perhaps not understood that a 'Buccaneers' knife' and a 'knife used by buccaneers' are the same thing in this context. There's no need for an article on something that doesn't exist. Benea (talk) 02:18, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. I have prod-ed another of the articles pirate articles for inadequate sourcing. Horrible Histories are amusing, but they are not serious enough for sourcing an encyclopedia article. Nothing to distinguish knives used by buccaneers from knives otherwise. Sjakkalle (Check!) 06:43, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Article creator appears to have misunderstood the source was not refering to a individual type of knife. Edward321 (talk) 13:40, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
