Barrett M98

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Rifle was never placed into production and Google News and Google Archives fail to turn up significant coverage as per the WP:GNG. AadaamS (talk) 18:29, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

*Weak Keep possible merge with M99.--Mike - Μολὼν λαβέ 15:25, 3 March 2015 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Delete after performing more research, this subject does not meet notability guidelines.--Mike - Μολὼν λαβέ 01:46, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Weak delete, subject of this AfD has received some form of coverage in the following reliable source: As a snippet, I cannot tell whether that coverage is significant or not. As I have not found more than this reliable source that gives coverage to the subject, I am persuaded to support deletion at this time. If more reliable sources that give significant coverage to the article can be found I can be persuaded to change my opinion. As it stands right now, one reliable source of some coverage (significant or not) does not pass WP:GNG.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 23:14, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
 * a reliable source could be used to add material in a section of either Barrett Firearms Company or List of sniper rifles articles, this article could then redirect there. AadaamS (talk) 07:16, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Merge Very few unbuilt prototypes are notable enough for articles. It'd be best to merge any sourced material into a paragraph in the main Barrett Firearms Manufacturing article. Rezin (talk) 23:46, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
 * There is very little reliably sourced information on this one beyond a prototype appearing at SHOT Show one year, though.--Mike - Μολὼν λαβέ 22:37, 17 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete. A gun that didn't happen with little or no reliably sourced information. No objection to a redirect if a suitable target can be agreed on. --Michig (talk) 08:40, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
