Equipment of the Imperium in Warhammer 40,000

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This article is a very detailed list of more than couple dozen fictional items of military equipment used by a fictional military of a fictional faction in a fictional universe (IMHO this article is a simple Fancruft case). However Wikipedia tries to be an encyclopaedia and not a detailed games sourcebook (WP:NOTMANUAL). The subject's inherent notability is frankly extremely doubtful (IMHO it fails Notability - please read the General notability guidelines carefully). IMHO the sources and references reflect this; they don't come from independent third parties but rather from sourcebooks themselves or from sites of the respective computer games. Please read the article carefully and then truly ask yourselves: is this a proper article for Wikipedia? Afterwards feel free to vote according to your conscience. I also wish to point out the similar deletion proposals in Vehicles of the Space Marines in Warhammer 40,000, Vehicles of the Imperial Guard in Warhammer 40,000 and Vehicles of the Imperium in Warhammer 40,000. Thank you for your attention. Flamarande (talk) 19:47, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete as per WP:GAMEGUIDE. Wikipedia isn't a place to list every weapon or item in a game. Shooterwalker (talk) 00:16, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
