Delete. Non-notable (WP:N) and Airsoft gun variants do not each warrant their own article. The^FSAviator • T 22:48, 7 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Airsoft gun as a reasonable search term. Hobit (talk) 20:12, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you've bought an airsoft gun before you'll know that there are hundreds if not thousands of variants made by different companies. Redirecting this would be like searching "Mitsubishi Lancer" and being redirected to "Car" — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheFSaviator (talk • contribs) 18:37, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If someone wanted to know what a "Mitsubishi Lancer" was, that would actually be useful yes? I think better than a punt on our part. Hobit (talk) 20:37, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think you misunderstood the analogy, but no matter. Nobody is going to search "SLR105 A1", not only because it is an incredibly obscure gun, but simply because there are so many airsoft guns out there that there shouldn't be a redirect for a random rifle. We shouldn't make this a redirect because there are no other redirects when searching for other airsoft guns. The topic is really ridiculously obscure, I can't even believe this hasn't been nominated for deletion before.

Delete: non-notable airsoft replica of a real weapon without references. I wouldn't really be inclined to be satisfied with a redirect to airsoft because it's not a likely search term, but redirects are cheap, and one to Classic Army isn't unreasonable. Still, my preference is outright deletion. bahamut0013^words _deeds 22:38, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
