Barrett M468

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This rifle isn't in service anywhere and it had better be merged to a paragraph of M4 carbine or M16. As it fails the WP:GNG it shouldn't be a standalone article. AadaamS (talk) 09:18, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Weak keep, subject of AfD has received significant coverage in two non-primary reliable sources such as the following:
 * Police magazine, a issue of Jane's International Defense Review
 * That being said my google-fu does not appear to be that strong in this search, as two non-primary reliable sources are good, but three or more would definitely put it over the top. That being said I am inclined to keep this article, and more work can be done to improve it. Otherwise, this article should be redirected and verified to reliable source content should be merged to an article about the 6.8 SPC round.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 04:51, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Weak delete My Google-fu detects insufficient "significant coverage in multiple reliable sources" for notability. Peacemaker67 (crack... thump) 14:12, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Merge into Barrett REC7 and keep that article (currently also under AfD), or merge both into a new article entitled "Barrett M4 carbines". Pax 02:26, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Then you would have to prove that Barrett M4 carbines is a subject notable enough to pass the GNG. The easier solution is to merge both into Barrett Firearms Manufacturing. AadaamS (talk) 04:32, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep this was a notable rifle which represents a major development stage in the evolution of modern day small arms and cartridges.--Mike - Μολὼν λαβέ 00:24, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Do you have a WP:RS source saying that rifle which represents a major development stage in the evolution of modern day small arms and cartridges? Strong claims require strong sources. AadaamS (talk) 07:42, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Several actually, including Cutshaw's piece in Jane's.--Mike - Μολὼν λαβέ 17:15, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
