Speedy deletion nomination of Triple Action Thunder
Hello Sirbubby,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Triple Action Thunder for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Blythwood (talk) 00:13, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

Why Triple Action Thunder was deleted
Hi Sirbubby, There certainly are .50 caliber handguns. Some of them meet the "notability" criteria for inclusion in Wikipedia. These criteria are summarized in the General notability guidelines. Let's leave the technicalities aside for now.

Take the Smith & Wesson Model 500 as an example.
 * First off, it's manufactured by Smith & Wesson.
 * According to the S & W catalog it is a model that is in production.
 * That particular model has received some coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject.

Compare this to the Triple Action Thunder.
 * Triple Action LLC doesn't appear to have a website, at least not one that I can find.
 * According to what I can find, the Thunder was only ever a prototype.
 * "According to what I can find" means what I can find in unreliable sources: internet forums, advertisements, and so on.

That said, perhaps you may be interested in participating in WikiProject Firearms?
