 * Merge and redirect to (I think) Ordnance QF 2 pounder. Megapixie (talk) 02:06, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I think the article is about a Japanese clone of the pom-pom (http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WNJAP_40mm-62_HI.htm). Bukvoed (talk) 18:02, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
 * What do you think - make it a variant in the QF 2 pounder naval gun article ? Or keep it as its own article ? Megapixie (talk) 07:39, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I'd merge it into QF 2 pounder naval gun as a variant. Bukvoed (talk) 14:02, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Merge This article might be salvageable via the references given at Also found at p 21 of "Japanese Army of World War II" by Philip Warner, Michael Youens a statement that the Japanese used "40 mm Vickers machine cannon (water cooled, recoil operated, link-belt-fed automatic" and also used their own copies, although they were obsolescent.  So merge to the main article on the weapon. Delete Fails verifiability.  I doubt the Japanese official name for it was "Vickers" which was a British company The article title also calls it a "Type 40 mm" which seems to conflate the type designation and the calibre.. No referenced or useful information in the article. Edison (talk) 21:21, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge into QF 2 pounder naval gun. There is unlikely to be enough material to justify its own page. Smile a While (talk) 19:30, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
