Lakshya does at least have caps for most of the weapons, rest are gone.

Both images are promotional images though, and one is watermarked. The creator of the page, the guy who was behind most of the Indian films on the site, left in a huff a few years ago, so unless there are more Indian film fans out there...

How about PowerSlave, Hour of Victory, Hyakko and S&W Model 657?

Any chance we could get an admin to scroll through the 50 or so pages marked for Delition? I know I marked a number of them myself and I do have an "itchy trigger finger" for these things but a number of them really should go....

You DO have an itchy trigger finger. Priest for one. It's fixable with everything that is already there. I would probably get some better screencaps (which is possible now), but it in NO WAY is a nuke worthy page. What made you think that? Just curious.

Also many pages can be fixed pretty easily. Many of us don't seem to have the barrels of free time that other members do so we delay getting to them, but I've fixed and rescued dozens of movie pages from the delete bin. I think an incomplete tag should motivate folks to fix the page and make it complete.

I've had a bit of an itchy trigger finger as well, and since I AM one of those members with free time who fixes pages, I base my decisions on how likely another member would finish these pages. I've used the noeffort tag more than the nuke tag.

1900? I don't know how many people would sit through a 5 hour movie just for screencapping purposes. (Call me selfish, but I wouldn't.) The Intruder? Where would you even find a legal copy of a 25 year old Indonesian Rambo-knockoff? (No one's found one in three years, that's for sure.) Rebel Heart? I can't find it at Netflix to borrow or Amazon to buy. Forbidden Siren 2? We have enough incomplete console games. Games that never got a US release only increase the degree of difficulty in getting screencaps.

There's an incomplete tag use it! Just because there's no screencaps doesn't mean there's no effort. If there's a description of who uses what and at least a stock gun image. That's what I would consider minimum effort. Take http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Kung_Fu:_The_Legend_Continues I've never watched the show but I have an idea of who uses what from reading the page.

I've been quite liberal with the incomplete tag as well. But there's a huge difference between a page that otherwise complete except for a few screencaps, and a page that's only a third of the guns from a film, with several mis-IDs. It happens, those pages are out there, I've seen it. Ultimately, without screencaps, we're just taking somebody's word for it. At least with the Kung Fu page, it's a MT2008, so we can be pretty sure he's right about the IDs, but what about Sergeant Preston of the Yukon, by some guy who swooped in for two months and hasn't contributed in over a year.

I admit, I'm using a very strict interpretation of the "Quality, not quantity" clause in the rules, but there are only so many ways to interpret "We will wait until someone is ready to make a complete and professional page." If we're going to use Kung Fu as an example, we've waited for 3.5 years already.
