Kinmen Knife

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable topic. Ideogram 19:16, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Question I think there might be more to be said about the subject, because it would seem such collectables are very likely to be political expressions, and there is probably some more information--likely in Chinese. DGG 05:29, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
 * The article was created by a POV-warrior as a political expression. --Ideogram 09:13, 22 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment I have never heard of this term before. And no, there is no information about this in the Chinese Wikipedia.--Jerrypp772000 21:41, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge into Kinmen, as there isn't really enough information about this kind of knife.--Jerrypp772000 22:57, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment This is completely absurd that Ideogram thinks this is a political expression. How can a knife made on the island of Kinmen be something political. Please be reasonable and not try to confuse others. This is in fact a common Chinese term that people use. This is a very useful knife only made in Kinmen and that people in Taiwan value this. This knife is made specifically from the artillery shells found in Kinmen. Foreign tourists have also bought this. This is definitely a notable article. TingMing 22:48, 22 April 2007 (UTC)


 * We have no reason to believe you unless you provide sources. --Ideogram 01:51, 23 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep per this source: Council for Cultural Affairs, Taiwan. Jonathunder 20:26, 24 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete as long as the article contradicts the source. --Ideogram 06:35, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge, famous product of Kinmen for tourists. You can buy them everywhere on Kinmen, and they're the island's most famous product besides their Kaoliang liquour (I bought the liquor, not the knife, though). Another source: (OMG biased pan-green newspaper!) Kusma (talk) 15:04, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep for now - this nomination may result from a series of disputes between two users that have already resulted in two arbitration cases. An opportunity should be provided for other editors to look at and seek to improve the article. Newyorkbrad 21:58, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
