The result was delete. Having an article on the Norwegian Wikipedia does not mean one is notable - the article may be deleted there in a week for not being notable, or they might have different criteria than ours. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 05:52, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

List of receiver threads (firearms)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is not a notable topic, per WP:N. It has no sources - probably because nobody thinks that a list of receiver threads is worth writing about. It looks like original research, just a list of dimensions that someone compiled from who knows where. I put a PROD tag on it, but an editor followed me there to revert it, writing, "No need to delete this article. It contains useful information." However the standards for Wikipedia articles requires more than simple utility and WP:NOT specifically says that WP is not a repository of this type of miscellaneous material.

 * Delete per nom for all the reasons listed. Clarityfiend (talk) 00:16, 13 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete This was a translation from Norwegian wiki. The information could be sourced, just because neither the New York Times nor Pravda  writes about it does not mean that sources do not exist. The information is too specialized for the average reader that visits wiki and this is not a "how-to" guide.--Mike - Μολὼν λαβέ 00:38, 13 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Weak keep The content is valid on the Norwegian wiki.  Why not here, too?  The issue is one primarily of sourcing, which User:Mike Searson has noted. The information is certainly useful.  I don't see the need to delete it strictly because it contains firearms-related information, contrary to what User: Felsic2 seems wont to try to eliminate all vestiges from Wikipedia.  My $0.02.

 * I don't know what rules apply to the Norwegian Wikipedia website. On this site, articles and lists need to have sources. This list has none. It would be valid to simply delete the unsourced contents. Please don't make personal comments where they don't belong. Felsic2 (talk) 23:52, 14 October 2016 (UTC)
