Leyden Gun

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Poorly sourced article about a Taser-like product. I am unable to find reliable sources with which to establish notability. Fails WP:GNG. - MrX 11:58, 11 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Leyden ball, practically the same concept. Unlike the OP, I have been able to find reliable sources covering "Leyden Gun" from a simple google search, eg. this source. I think there is too much overlap between this and Leyden ball to keep this as a separate article, and there is no sourced content to merge. 109.79.127.244 (talk) 13:11, 11 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Redirect as previous no additional content and this is just them means of propelling a Leyden ball Amortias (T)(C) 14:06, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete, do not redirect. Not enough reliable sources to meet "significant coverage" threshold of general notability guideline (WP:GNG), and no reliable sources make any connection between Leyden Gun and Leyden ball. I searched books.google (found nothing), scholar.google (found nothing), and a normal Google web search where I found only:
 * Wired.co.uk article
 * KIJK Magazine article in Dutch.

 * Delete, do not redirect Articles are from 2010 about an upcoming product that seems not to have ever upcome. Product website referenced in video has not been updated (still speaks of 2013 as the future). This is not a Layden Ball.Jersey92 (talk) 19:25, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete. the article is one sentence ("Automatic stun weapon on the basis of discharge of the hidh voltage capacitor. The concept of a new type of non-lethal weapons.")  There, now everyone can see what we deleted.  Wheee.--Milowent • hasspoken  02:45, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
