Default Let us put a moratorium on pages where there is only ONE GUN ....

And the gun is completely incidental to the movie. We are seeing surprisingly LAME movie pages all of a sudden. Only if the firearms is important to the plot or wielded in such a way that it sticks out in the minds of viewers ... and is identifiable.

If you don't want me deleting pages like this, let me know NOW....

Not sure it's such a good idea. It's entirely possible the one gun might be worthy of ID, or someone's wondering about. What about the movie "ATL" for example (which has a Jericho 941 and no other guns)?

And all the guns on those pages, too. I demand nothing but all Arnold all the time.

Did you NOT read what I wrote? I said "Only if the firearms is important to the plot or wielded in such a way that it sticks out in the minds of viewers ... and is identifiable." In ATL the gun is obvious, is a major point of interest and some viewers might ask "Hey, so what kind of gun is that?"

That is why "The Family Man" is also an acceptable page since Don Cheadle's gun is obvious and identifiable.

I'm talking about "Man holds unknown shotgun for three seconds of movie"

or

"man in crowd has an unknown revolver"

Those kinds of pages just gotta GO!

I remember seeing a page for a movie that had a single entry for an unidentifiable shotgun mounted on a wall in the background of one scene.
