By poorly animated, it is meant that they rarely if ever were meant to represent something real.

All of the weapons in Goldeneye, and a fair number of weapons in Perfect Dark were meant to look like real world firearms.

If the pistol is a "unknown revolver" we don't need a page. If it's an attempt at a Ruger Blackhawk, then we should have a page.

I'm still not sure why the vehement hatred for "The Simpsons" or "Family Guy". Some of the guns in them were not very realistic and were too simple to be identified with real-world counterparts. But this wasn't always the case - Stewie's arms stash in "Lois Kills Stewie", for instance, clearly had XM8s, DShKs, Micro Uzis, and other recognizable weapons.

And I don't understand why you and I had no say in the page's deletion, since we screencapped parts of the page, proving these things.

Look, some of those caps of guns on the show just...doesn't really look like what you claim them to be

Some guns do look pretty like what they are intended to be, but I just look at it like some poorly drawn picture solely for the sake of a comedy action scene, not to look completely the part.

Really know. We should focus on having sucha high variety of articles as possible rather than following old norms and standards about what should define the weapons. Its a simple question of supply and demand - i think many visitors will search for Simpsons and Family guy articles and they will all be surprised as they are unable to find any.

Then they should be told that those guns were poorly drawn and meant to be drawings of guns, not accurate depictions of guns.

The anime pages have very realistically drawn guns, so they belong here. Not 2 rectangles pasted together with a trigger attached.

You aren't making sense. "Family Guy" has some guns that are poorly drawn and not supposed to be accurate, but there are also plenty of weapons that are recognizable as (fairly) accurate depictions of Micro Uzis, XM8s, MP5s, DShKs, etc. The screencaps we had on the page clearly showed this.

Never saw a gun depiction on that show that wasn't crap. It is gone. Let's keep it that way.
