Warsaw Pact rail

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

A type of Soviet rifle accessory. Fails WP:V. The only source is a self-published website. A search for "Warsaw Pact rail" yields only books and articles about rail transportation in Warsaw Pact countries. Sandstein 17:44, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Try "AK+Side+Rail" or "AK side mount". Even "warsaw pact Side Mount" or "warsaw pact Side rail" will do the trick. This mounting system obviously exists, there's no reason for deletion. Maybe cause there's no known offical name like Weaver or Picatinny as its american counterparts have [1]. So we need to find a proper lemma and eventually move this article.--Markscheider (talk) 20:18, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sure it exists, but existence is not enough for an article, we need sources. See WP:V, WP:GNG. Sandstein 20:56, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, It seems to me that the only reason this page was created was because there's are already Picatinny rail and NATO Accessory Rail pages and the creator felt that this rail system was somehow being ignored.--RAF910 (talk) 19:12, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
