[edit] Wire jacket

Wire jacket (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

This looked interesting but the only refs are fictional, so I looked for some real refs, but most of them seem to track back either to Wikipedia or Fu Manchu. Guy (Help!) 21:44, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Question - So, this device is purely fictional? --clpo13(talk) 21:50, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Weak Delete - I suppose it doesn't really matter if it's real or not. As Orange Mike said below, it's not notable either way, but it could be fixed up. Maybe. --clpo13(talk) 02:36, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep This device is real. Just google it. There is a site dedicated to torture mechanisms and it is there.(i forgot the url) Anyway, this is not a fictional work, it just requires some work to find a source. Undeath (talk) 22:36, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. Sure, it's mentioned in a Fu Manchu book or two and one of the Flashman novels, but I can't find anything reliable about it. I was able to fix rat torture, but don't have a lot of hope for this one. --Dhartung | Talk 01:34, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - non-notable torture device (real or fantasy). --Orange Mike | Talk 01:53, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

    • Question Wasn't this nominated for deletion in 2006? If so, why isnt' this stated as the second nomination? Undeath (talk) 18:42, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
