Unsubstantiated/unreferenced entry about fictitious historical armour Deathlibrarian (talk) 11:37, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - The classification, if not the object itself, appears to be drawn from recent editions of Dungeons and Dragons. Whether such armour ever really existed, I couldn't say off-hand, although I suspect not. AlexTiefling (talk) 13:49, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Of course such armor existed - in cheesy fantasy movies. Edward321 (talk) 23:11, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. Original research about RPG (D&D) item. Oddly, I don't see this type of armor in another games. Creation of Wizards of the Coast? Zero Kitsune (talk) 01:54, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Google search show various use in RPG's, drawing and costume designing (seems useful to flavor villains) but no articles that depicts its medieval use so we a got a problem with verifiability. Google books and scholar mentions mostly spikes used against armor, rather than spikes on armor, during medieval times. Strongest hit on google book is this which was used on a wolf hunt. Natural spiked armors were worn by reptiles Euoplocephalus and probably Ankylosaurus. We might be able convert the article to reflect only natural spiked armors but then again we could simply put that info to Armour (zoology).--02:21, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, unsourced, no evidence that such armour was ever used in the real world. WP:V or WP:OR issues.  Lankiveil (speak to me) 04:09, 24 October 2008 (UTC).
 * Delete not particularly notable as a distinct armor type. This does not merit a stand alone article. Some information could possibly be merged into a discussion of medieval armor in general. --Polaron | Talk 17:33, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete I've been making armour fro 10 years and this is crap. This articls is discussing medieaval historical armour, not fantasy armour. Its completetly unreferenced, and looks like a 12 year old wrote on a D & D gaming weekend. Lets just delete. 220.237.187.239 (talk) 12:49, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
