Love the movie, absolutely, but this is a tad crufty — RevRagnarok ^{Talk Contrib} 00:26, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

• Merge or redirect to Sawed-off shotgun. hateless 00:37, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
• Merge per hateless. Seems like a pretty good solution. Chairman S. Talk ^Contribs 01:13, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
• Merge - possible search term for fans of the movie/game but as a standalone article it is a neologism of no note. Only other use I can find is as a brand of paintball gun - Peripitus (Talk) 01:47, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
• Merge Definitely do not keep as an article. Xiner (talk, email) 01:48, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
• Merge is an excellent idea. Natalie 04:44, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
• Merge, definitely. Realkyhick 08:34, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect per Hateless, it's a nice little piece, but there's not enough there for a full-blown article, the info can be secured and searchers can still get all the info they need (and detailed info on the sawn-off shotgun to boot!). Bloody marvellous :D QuagmireDog 11:11, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Fails WP:Notability, not relevant enough.Tellyaddict^{Editor review!} 16:19, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
• Merge Seems like the article is insufficiently referenced to demonstrate notability for its own article. While I think there might be a hypothetical case for the slang term maybe being notable enough for an article, maybe, as is I don't see the references to verify it's notable enough for its own article. For notability purposes, compare to D'oh!. I'd reconsider the Boomstick article if it is brought a little closer to D'oh! in terms of scope and references. Dugwiki 22:14, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
