Laser cannon

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This article asserts no notability through reliable sources, and is just an in-universe repetition of the plot sections of various Star Wars articles where laser cannons are used. This is duplicative and trivial and should be deleted. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 05:45, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Is there a general article on laser-based weaponry (either in the reality, in fiction, or a combination) that this could be redirected to as a plausible search term? Although Star Wars is cool, it has not by any means cornered the market on laser cannons. -- saberwyn 05:51, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
 * True. Also, the Israelis are building real laser cannons, it was in the news a few months back, so an article on them would not be entirely fictional...this article ain't it though. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 06:08, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment I'm torn between the DEW redirect and raygun, which covers DEWs in fiction. --Dhartung | Talk 06:26, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Maybe we could dabify to both articles.-- Lenticel ( talk ) 06:57, 24 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Redirect somewhere. I was going to favour raygun over directed-energy weapon on the grounds that laser gun is already a redirect to raygun, but I also see that laser weapon redirects to laser applications. EALacey (talk) 15:36, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
