Non-static weapon mount

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

not a "used" term, and something adequately covered elsewhere. The article consists of stuff skimmed from our articles on bipods and tripods, and is effectively nothing but a content fork. weapons bipods and tripods are not just used on the ground, and I've never seen them referred to as "ground mounts" before.

 * If it's covered elsewhere, it should be converted to a redirect. I've never heard this term used either, but it's a plausible search term. Beeblebrox (talk) 17:36, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep, i created Tripod (weapon) but decided it was to short. so i merged bipod to it and created Ground mount. I was having writer's block so i called it something from an other article i created (M192 Lightweight Ground Mount) recently redirected by me).username 1 (talk) 17:37, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment I see no need for an AfD listing. The Tripod article narrowly concerns weapon-tripods, but there are other types of tripods which might warrent an article, perhaps with a dab to Bipod and Triped.  Ground mount is a plausible search term.  Article improvement, merging of content, etc, is what is called for here, not listing for deletion. Power.corrupts (talk) 12:40, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. Needs to be expanded, if possible.  If the article is not kept, I'd like to see the section on Shooting Sticks moved to a stand alone article. Surv1v4l1st (Talk 03:22, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. It is a good top or mid-level category, and can be used to branch to several other existing wiki category and detail pages (such as tripod, bipod, pedestal mount, deck mount, etc.) and could indeed be something that wiki users with military experience might use in a search phrase.  Granted, it needs a bit of expansion--like most stubs--but it is apropos to Wiki weapons and optics articles.  Yes, ground mounts are also used for military telescopes (a la Spyglass Alpha), and the larger night vision devices.)  Trasel (talk) 03:47, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
 * PLEASE NOTE That the article has been moved without consensus in the middle of the AfD from Ground mount to "Non-static weapon mount" making in necessary to essentially start from scratch with the conversation about the title. Beeblebrox (talk) 07:25, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Spartaz Humbug! 19:08, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Comment, this seems an alfull lot like double jeopardy to me. Double jeopard might have done O. J. Simpson good but not this article. username 1 (talk) 17:30, 25 August 2009 (UTC).
 * I'm not sure what you mean. Are you objecting to the relisting? It's a standard practice when consensus is not clear. This isn't a court of law, but a conversation to decide if this article meets the basic criteria for a Wikipedia entry. Beeblebrox (talk) 04:59, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
