The result of the debate was Um....no consensus I guess. As long as it is not gonna be deleted. There appears to be an disagreement on which page to redirect to, so I'll leave that to the article's talkpage. - Mailer Diablo 14:00, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Bolter

• Abstain as nominator -- maybe someone cares about this; I just don't want it to slide into cold-dark-matter-dom unchallenged. --Trovatore 04:44, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect to Warhammer 40,000; no apparent reason to give it independent treatment. Postdlf 04:51, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
• Alternative: Merge and redirect to List of fictional weapons. Deltabeignet 04:56, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect to Warhammer 40,000. Weapons in this universe would be better treated within the main article rather than making those interested in the subject go to many separate pages for each weapon. ♠DanMS 04:59, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to WH40K. I don't think there's anything relevant to merge, here; this is just a very short description of a single weapon from a game that has a veritable arsenal of them. -- Captain Disdain 05:54, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
• delete The author could consider noting this weapon in the main article if it seems appropriate, but this defnitely should not have it's own page. Dxco 06:46, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Too minor a 40K concept to rate a mention on the main page. If you're fanatical about making it into a redirect, redirect it to Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine Equipment and Weaponry, as there is a decent-sized paragraph on bolt-weapons there. Or to Warhammer 40,000 Imperial Guard Equipment and Weaponry, as its mentioned there as well. Or somewhere else, just anywhere but the main Warhammer 40,000 page. Too many 40K concepts redirect there, and there's no context in the article for them. Saberwyn 07:59, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine Equipment and Weaponry. There's a much more (over)detailed description there anyway. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 12:48, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect per WP:FICT (appears to be little info to merge) Radiant_>|< 00:48, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
• Do not redirect - a "bolter" is a concept in naval aviation denoting a missed approach to an aircraft carrier - I'll write at least a stub on it. FCYTravis 01:13, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
  • In which case, you should add a disambig to Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine Equipment and Weaponry at the top of the page. Saberwyn 06:08, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
