First sentence says it all

"Note almost all guns are almost or totally fictional, so its hard to tell on which gun they were based on."

Well that and the creator didn't put much effort into the page. I could live with a beautiful page that chronicled with tons of screencaps and proper formatting, but this page is one epic fail. Sorry. We all have to learn to do our first pages. Tis a harsh lesson by we must also learn what generates a "DELETE" on IMFDB as well.

As long as we're deleting pages, could you delete the one I made for the Rast-Gasser 1898? After I made it I figured it should probably go on the Gasser revolvers page I also made, rather than having it's own entry, even if it is a completely seperate design.

This one needs deleting, too: http://www.imfdb.org/index.php/Talk:Resident_Evil_3

It's a duplicate page of one we already have under the title Resident Evil 3: Nemesis.

It would be a better idea to make it a redirect page to Resident Evil 3: Nemesis so that you can just punch in Resident Evil 3 and you're there.

Man that page is classic.

It´s not even a "real" game, it´s just a mod for HL2.

Aren't mods already against the rules here?

I think Project Reality is the only exception.

Isn't ArmA technically a mod? Or is it a standalone game?

Arma, Arma2, and Arma2 Operation Arrowhead are all standalone games. The criteria is whether it is on IMDB or other reputable websites like IGN or Gamespot.

Documentaries
 

Nuke all these documentaries.

http://www.imfdb.org/index.php/Category:Documentary

Wow, BORAT is in the documentary catagory? And Waltz with Bashir looks more like it's just non-fiction, and not a documentary.

Shouldn't Mail Call be deleted then? Isn't Mail Call also the largest page on the site?

Mail Call was an early entry that came in under the wire. Only Mail Call and perhaps ONE OTHER documentary series was grandfathered in before we started clamping down on documentaries, so it cannot be touched, however, we have put the kebosh on all NEW documentaries. It started getting ridiculous when we were just listing weapons that were taken from real life NEWS FOOTAGE.

As you said Mail Call was very well done, but any 'reality show' or documentary page had better be BRILLIANT or else they go!

I believe the Weaponology page should be deleted, not just because it is a documentary, but because it is also lacking content in terms of screencaps and descriptions.

So when are we getting around to knocking off those documentaries.....

-Also we need to put NO DOCUMENTARIES in the "Rules, Standards and Principles" page of IMFDB

Not necessarily. We're willing to allow popular mods for popular games, usually. The only thing we object to is when some totally anonymous mod developer who's making new levels and weapons in his spare time decides to use our site to promote his own project that most people have never heard of.

The page for 'The War Briefing' (an episode of PBS Frontline) should also be deleted on the basis of being a documentary and having no content:

http://www.imfdb.org/index.php/Phantasy_star_0

DS game, so no chance we'll ever see screenshots. Two weapons, neither of them real, neither of them resemble real weapons, and only one of them even sharing a name with a real weapon. And it's been seven months, and no one has bothered to correct the capitalization.

Did this one make it under the wire? If not I'll be glad to delete it, but I need to make sure. There has been some work put into it.

I don't know how this ever made it through the cracks. It might qualify as a PC game, but it's better known as a board game. (The page doesn't specify.) There isn't a single link on the page.

I believe wikipedia refers to this as "listcruft".

I like how the forum sticks a smiley right into the link.

Sorry to resurrect a dormant thread, but it worked so well...

http://www.imfdb.org/index.php/CornerShot

I don't think it meets the standard of being a firearm. It's an accessory. And the page itself is alright, but not exceptional.

I say let it stay, while it's not an actual firearm, it's an extension of the firing mechanism sort of. It's been used quite a few times also.

Isnt it always seen with glocks? If so, just add it to the bottom of the glock page.

It makes a handgun in to a whole new firearm...and looks cool and practical for tv and movies. I say let it stay

Do what you will, I can't delete jack squat. I'm just saying, we read a lot here about making new rules and standards, modifying existing rules and standards, newbies not following the rules and standards, whatnot, and this page violates the first standard of IMFDb: it has to be a firearm. No one here has tried arguing that it is indeed a firearm, and since it's also not a movie, a TV series, a video game, an actor or an actress, thus, according to the existing rules and standards, it doesn't belong. That's just my two cents.

Seriously kill this

http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Doom_%28VG%29

Don't delete it, just revert it to the old Doom movie page. Right now, all the links that used to link to the Doom movie are going to the Doom disambiguation page, and that's a lot of links.

Since we're on video games of the early nineties, what are your thoughts on the two below? The sort of snuck in a few months ago.

http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Streets_of_Rage_Remake

http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Punisher,_..._video_game%29

While it needs bringing up to standard, the guns were digitised from real props and if nothing else it's needed to address the belief by some (including the uploader and the Doom Wiki itself) that the pistol was a real weapon. I've fixed the links to the way they were before, though.

Mr. X's Thompson is real enough, but SoR: Remake is a fan project, not a released game (it's a ROMhack with hi-def graphics and elements of all three released games). Deleted.

Punisher, the drawn scenes are pretty close to the ID'd guns, but there's some that are really pushing it; the guy's arm shouldn't be there, and there's no real way the launcher is supposed to be an FGM-148 in 1993 since they'd only test-fired the first working launcher that year.

The talk page for the doom movie is sort of in limbo though. The link on the pages for both the game and the movie both link to the talk page for the game.

Really??? That thing on his arm is suppose to be an M202 Flash????

Also there is no need to retain the Doom VG page due to links, nothing links to that page!

Not now, Tim fixed it last night.

Two more for review: (We really should have a "Questionable Eligibility" thread)

http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Kilo

It's a short film, submitted by the guy who created the At Bay page. Even if you wanted to grandfather it in a short film, I don't think it meets the distribution requirements.

http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Biohazard_4D:_Executer

Again, a short film, and despite being from the Biohazard/Resident Evil franchise, I'm not sure it meets the distribution requirement. When you google it, it's only available for download.

According to Wikipedia, it has been screened in actual movie theatres in Japan, which would meet the distribution guideline. But it's still 19 minutes long. I'm loathe to delete a well-made page, though, I'll wait for a second opinion.

I don't dispute that, but I don't think it's legally available on home video. I'm wondering if it violates the piracy related rules.
