Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Firearms
This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Firearms. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.
- Adding a new AfD discussion
- Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
- Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
- You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Firearms|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
- Note that there are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
- Removing a closed AfD discussion
- Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
- Other types of discussions
- You can also add and remove links to other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Firearms.
- Further information
- For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Article subject is a home-made projectile featured in a youtube video. This was picked up in brief articles by HuffPost and Wired during the moral panic about 3D printed guns. However, there is no WP:SUSTAINED or significant coverage other than these two brief, WP:ONE EVENT silly-season articles.
On closer inspection, the 3D printed slugs are just cylinders with a pointy end which could just as easily be carved from a length of plastic, so there's no novel or meritorious engineering involved either (i.e. unlikely to be further papers or coverage beyond what is already linked. A search turned up nothing new) - this article is just about a guy sticking a lump of (quite expensive, laboriously printed) plastic onto the front of a commercially-bought shotgun cartridge and posting it on youtube for lols. Does not satisfy WP:GNG. Hemmers (talk) 15:26, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
