Ancient artillery

Article appears to be an essay or school project. The articles sling (weapon) and slingshot give a much more thorough account of these weapons. PDCook (talk) 15:47, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. 9th grade project. If anyone knows a good redirect please say. Obviously the subject is notable, but this is too poor to survive here. Johnbod (talk) 17:00, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Other articles do indeed cover this subject with greater depth. If the goal is to improve this into an article, and there are no particular issues with it such as BLP or Copyvio, might I also suggest Userfying it to the author's page for development? Might be a good middle ground. We also have guidelines for school projects, which may be relevant to the author. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 17:50, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. There are many articles and categories that already cover this subject. Kartano (talk) 23:54, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Possibly useful. I suggest userfy or incubate. Bearian (talk) 01:26, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete medieval weapons are not "ancient", the article talks about medieval siege engines. If kept, rename to Pre-gunpowder artillery or Non-chemical propellant artillery. Possibly move to Article Incubator/Pre-gunpowder artillery or Article Incubator/Non-chemical propellant artillery per Bearian, if kept. Preferably delete though. 76.66.203.178 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 05:41, 2 December 2009 (UTC).
