Nerve glove
Very minor piece of technoloy used by a single group of 1,000 men (the Imperial Fists Space Marine chapter) in the fictional Warhammer 40,000 universe. Information comes from a single novel, and the device does not receive a mention in any other rules, background, or fiction work produced by Games Workshop or its subsidiariy companies. Use is nowhere near widespread enough in the fictional universe to justify (in my mind) a merge to the Weapons and Equipment of the Imperium (Warhammer 40,000), an is not important enough to the organisation and doctrine of the Imperial Fists chapter to include there.

I have nominated this article once before (Articles for deletion/Nerve glove), back in November 05, which resulted in a no consensus keep. -- Saberwyn 06:25, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

 * That list is currently a general list showing the equipment available to the entirety of the thousand Chapters of Space Marines, along with a wide variety of Imperial military and paramilitary organisations whose memberships reaches into the billions. To mention an item with such a small use would show great disproportion in the level of information conveyed (ie:fancruft). We can counter it by not having it in there, or we can counter it by listing every single special piece of equipment, squad upgrade, character weapon, relic, and rarely used piece of technology covered in the Armoury section of each Imperial Codex, because stuff with rules should come first in an article on a playable game. We're talking hundreds of seperate entries in the list before we get down to the level of player and universe impact this device has. Do you want a list full of 40k-cruft? I don't. -- Saberwyn 06:44, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete: the nerve glove really is a very, very minor part of the Warhammer 40,000 universe. --Pak21 08:27, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete echoing above. And I would add the Warhammer Universe is itself very, very minor. Eusebeus 10:23, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. For a comparison, try imaging having an article exist about the second sentence of the Chance card where it's your birthday and you get $10 in a game of Monopoly.  This is the Warhammer equivalent, and that's how crufty and lame this is.    Proto    ||    type    10:35, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete per above. --Khoikhoi 03:23, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per Sandstein. A fine turn of phrase may I say :-) &mdash; ciphergoth 15:29, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
