.35 Newton

Unsourced gun stub, does not meet WP:GNG. Perfect candidate for a list though. &raquo; Shadowowl  &#124;  talk  10:12, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment Using the Google Books link above yielded quite a lot of hits in what appear to be reliable secondary sources - can you explain why we would delete rather than improve the article? Girth Summit  (blether) 12:08, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep Merge with Charles Newton (inventor) - This is currently a stub and needs major WP:CLEANUP but a brief search does show indication of notability. I think it needs to be kept, but some major work dedicated to it. Skirts89 (talk) 16:59, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Redirect to the Charles Newton (inventor) page...Nobody, has made .35 Newton ammo, much less rifles since before WWII. What books and magazines that mention this cartridge are dated, and were all written in the 1920s and 1930s. This may have been a notable cartridge a hundred years ago, but not today. Today, it's just firearms trivia.--RAF910 (talk) 18:28, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment That is true, but this is a historical cartridge. Age shouldn't have anything to do with notability. Nobody uses swords today but they're still notable. Skirts89 (talk) 18:32, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Swords as a group are notable. And, some swords, such as Katanas and Claymores are very notable. However, that does not mean that every sword ever made must have its own Wiki page. The .35 Newton is nothing more than firearms trivia and it does not merit its own page.--RAF910 (talk) 18:59, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I agree as a whole. However I've done a bit more research and the .35 Newton is actually still produced (by Jamison and RCC Brass, at the least). The inventor, Charles Newton, was a fairly prolific firearms and cartridge designer as well so that might deserve a link or at least merge. Skirts89 (talk) 19:23, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
 * So what, a couple of wildcat companies make special order .35 Newton brass for re-loaders. Are you suggesting that every cartridge ever made deserves a Wiki page? If you want to merge or redirect this page to the Charles Newton (inventor) page, that would be appropriate.--RAF910 (talk) 19:48, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment Perhaps a merge or redirect would be good! Let's get some consensus on that. A cartridge is not a subject worth getting worked up about. Skirts89 (talk) 20:59, 8 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Merge per Skirts89/RAF910. Consensus based on reasoned discussion - it's a beautiful thing. Girth Summit  (blether)  22:11, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect per reasonable discussion above. --Lockley (talk) 07:18, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Merge with Charles Newton (inventor) per above. Sdmarathe (talk) 23:31, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
