[edit] Red 9

• Delete: A minor item in one game with a short description that is unlikely to be expanded. EDIT: Merge as stated below. I like that idea (I did kinda hint at it in response to Daveswagon already.) --HeroicJay 03:49, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep: Links to the article about the real-life version of the weapon. This connection would not be found otherwise.--Daveswagon 21:20, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Is it really worth making a page based on one item for a single piece of trivia? If you feel you MUST include it, why not just make a page for ALL of the RE4 weapons? --HeroicJay 03:24, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
• This afd nomination was orphaned. Listing now. Merge or move to a List of weapons in Resident Evil 4, like List of weapons in Half-Life 2. —Cryptic (talk) 18:56, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
• Merge, I agree with Cryptic create a page List of weapons in Resident Evil 4 --Amxitsa 21:22, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and Redirect to the real-life weapon as per Cryptic. Saberwyn 00:06, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
  • The article states that "the name of the weapon is fictional". I know nothing about guns, but if that's accurate, then it emphatically should not redirect there. —Cryptic (talk) 01:21, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
    • Based on your comment, I went and had a look at the Mauser C96 article, to find that it redirects itself to a collection of all Mauser weapons. People looking up the weapons from Resi 4 would most likely be looking for information on the real-world analogue, which is why I suggested the redirect as I did, with a few lines concerning the fact that the C96 "was feartured in the Resident Evil 4 console game, under the pseudonym Red 9".

Now that I've looked at where I 'wanted' it to go, I see the fallacy of my suggestion, and have changed it Saberwyn 08:20, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
