Vickers Higson machine gun

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I haven't heard of a "Vickers Higson machine gun" and this name was invented by a Wikipedia editor based on a patent, which is a WP:PRIMARY source, insufficient for WP:GNG purposes and with all its perils for WP:OR interpretation, which appears to be at work here. If a gun was ever produced based on this patent (for a two-barreled machine gun), it was probably called something else, because I can't find any sources to verify its manufacture. There is hardly any independent coverage of the patent itself; mere listing of this patent in a list together with hundreds of other patents in an extensive US gov work (5 volumes with thousands of pages in total) isn't convincing that this particular patent is notable enough for Wikipedia.

 * Delete. This is not a notable firearm. Wikipedia and Wiki-mirrors appears to be the only sources of information for this gun. There is no information that even suggests that this gun ever existed. --RAF910 (talk) 20:15, 7 July 2013 (UTC)
