Alessi machine gun

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article is entirely based on a US patent, which is WP:PRIMARY source as far as WP:GNG is concerned. I wasn't able find any confirmation that this particular patent was actually used in some machine gun. Its appearance in a long list of machine gun patents in a US gov work (by Chinn) does not make it sufficiently notable for Wikipedia. Also, this was a Nordenfelt-type design and these were exceedingly rare in the US (something like 3 exemplars adopted by the US navy). The chances of a US-resident making an impact with this patent are very slim. Someone not using his real name (talk) 10:53, 25 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete. Not notable. Just another article based on a patent. There is no information anywhere that this gun ever existed.--RAF910 (talk) 20:35, 25 July 2013 (UTC)
