Markalite

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

This element of fiction does not establish notability independent of its series. Without coverage in reliable third party sources, it is just made up of unnecessary plot summary and original research. TTN (talk) 22:37, 23 September 2008 (UTC) 
 * Delete. Plot summary and trivia for some sort of fictional device. No evidence of notability via substantial coverage in reliable, independent sources. Doctorfluffy (robe and wizard hat) 02:44, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Seems to be an important device used in multiple films. Such are best handled with an independent article, or a merge to a combination page to an article on the weapons for the series. A proper search, might show references in reviews, and I see no evidence that it was actually undertaken. Perhaps it should be required for a nomination asserting no RSs. (note that would be a policy change. I think the frquency of bad nominations here on all sorts of subjects from different people seems to show how it would help. I've just now proposed it on the AfD talk page.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by DGG (talk • contribs)

 * Delete, no sources, nothing reliable found via Google. And concerning DGG's comment above, it's the responsibility of those who want to include something in Wikipedia to come up with sources. Even worse, the article asserts that the guns in other Toho sci-fi films went by other names; claiming that they're all the same weapon seems original research.

 * Delete, plot summary with no reliable sources. The burden of proof is on those seeking content to be included. Stifle (talk) 08:51, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
