[edit] Superman Plate

The Superman Plate article is either nonsense or hoax, which can be clearly seen. It could be speedied, but there's a number of contributors. There really are superman plates, of course, being just collectibles for cartoon fans, and that's probably why some people were tricked not to delete it outright. I'd suggest quick deletion, as it has nothing of value, encyclopedic or humorous, and only damages WP. CP/M ^comm |Wikipedia Neutrality Project| 08:19, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Can find no evidence for this, but even if I could, it would surely be a candidate for deletion on the grounds of advertising. Emeraude 12:02, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Either hoax or commercial Arnoutf 13:37, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
• Merge assuming this is a true thing, merge to bulletproof vest or ceramic plate, but since I've never had cause to wear one, let alone buy one, I'm not in a position to verify it. Can someone who does know something about Bulletproof vests speak on this issue? However, I would say this is not advertising since AFAICT there is no specific product known as a Superman Plate. Well, aside from various collectibles from DC portraying Superman but those are hardly being promoted by this article. FrozenPurpleCube 13:40, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

  Comment I myself work in area of weaponry construction (though far from vests) and can say two things for sure: first, there is no point of making armor of 50/50 "steel"/titanium alloy (let alone that steel is alloy by itself and not a component), second, at least some people connected to that have hever heard of something bulletproof called superman plates. The actual reason for deletion, in the first place, is being a hoax. If one makes an internet search for superman plates, all that comes up is the mentioned collectibles and automated mirrors of Wikipedia.

• Delete Per nom --FaerieInGrey 20:03, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as hoax per nom. All I find is various ceramic plates or "ballistic plates". --Dhartung | Talk 21:13, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
• Strong delete per nom. This google search returns ZERO hits. Another aggravating hoax. --N Shar 23:16, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete nonnotable, per a GSearh. M1ss1ontomars2k4 ^{(T | C | @)} 01:10, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
