[edit] Hover boots

Hover boots (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

No more than a dictionary definition of hover boots, and I don't think it will ever be more than this. Even as a definition the article says nothing about them that isn't obvious - they are boots that hover (that don't really exist). I have tried to find sources discussing hover boots in fiction so I could expand the article, but they only seem to be mentioned in video game guides. Basil Richards 23:58, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

• Delete no real world information here. I suppose it could be a list, but it would still lack any significance of the topic. -WarthogDemon 01:12, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:CRYSTAL, if these will even ever be invented. Yeah, let's worry about inventing them first, then we can write an article for them. J-stan ^Talk_Contribs 01:45, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, let this one hover away. Realkyhick 02:33, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, but maybe we could ask if any helicopter parents wear them. The only significant appearance in sf film I can think of is Star Trek V's opening sequence at El Capitan. I'm sure they've made minor, uh, atmospheric appearances in various stories and novels, but not as a key world-changing technology or anything approaching WP:FICT. Plus, there is no See also to Seven-league boots. --Dhartung | Talk 04:14, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
