List of electromagnetic projectile devices in fiction

No specific inclusion criteria, example farm. Tagged for notability since 2009. This is not my last name (talk) 16:00, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Note: User did not format the nomination correctly, adding the entire text of their nomination directly to the AFD index page instead of tagging the article or creating a proper nomination page for this discussion. I am repairing the nom to proper process, and have no opinion on the article's keepability or deletability. Bearcat (talk) 18:35, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Not sure - while it probably meets WP:LISTN if you looked hard enough, it would have to be pruned immensely. ansh666 17:37, 29 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Comment Various online articles on rail guns, coil guns, kinetic energy weapons, and similar systems, mention fictional sources such as the films Eraser and The Last Starfighter, the novels The Moon is a Harsh Mistress (Heinlein) and Earthlight (Arthur C Clarke), TV shows Babylon 5 and Stargate Atlantis, and video games such as Quake, MGS, Fallout, Red Faction, and Halo Reach. I can't find much detailed discussion (there are books on science in some franchises like Star Trek, but I can't find anything relevant to this). I thought there would be more sources. I think some of this was put into a separate article because people didn't want it in the main articles, so I'm reluctant to say merge (aside from question of where to merge: Kinetic bombardment is overlapping). --Colapeninsula (talk) 13:44, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

 Keep mostly per Colapeninsula showing that the list subject has received secondary coverage. Orser67 (talk) 02:21, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
