No indication that this pistol passes WP:GNG. Additionally, it is sourced only to the manufacturer's page. Reaper Eternal (talk) 14:36, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep—It has a mention in Jane's (a bible of weaponry). My local library doesn't have a copy of Jane's Police and Homeland Security Equipment, so I can't evaluate the full entry, but most entries in Jane's are pretty short... The pistol seems to be notable in foreign language publications like this one.  A big part of the problem is that Magnum Research bought the rights to the ZP98 for United States sales and distribution, so a great many of the articles and other g-hits show up as trivial mentions inside an article on the "Micro Desert Eagle," which is the name MR is selling it under in the USA.  My proposal is to keep this article, add a redirect from Micro Desert Eagle, and expand this one article to cover both pistols.  There are plenty of English sources on the Micro Desert Eagle, like American Handgunner, a monthly paper periodical.  There's also a short section in the IMI Desert Eagle section about the Micro Desert Eagle, but since these two pistols have nothing to do with each other except a common name, I would also pull the info out of the Desert Eagle article and put a "see also" instead.  I'll do all of this, but I don't want to mess around with the article title, set up redirects, add "main article..." links, etc. while there's an AfD going on.  But I'll watch this page and start in when the AfD closes.   Liv it ⇑ Eh?/What? 19:40, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep and deal with as Livitup suggests. Not my field, but it seems sensible.  DGG ( talk ) 04:27, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
