A poorly-defined topic that overlaps with the many lists in Category:Lists of weapons; concerns over the page have been expressed over many years without a resolution, improvement or integration in the project (long-standing orphan with no interlanguage link); hence alternatives to deletion have failed.

Comment. Someone from Wikipedia:MILHIST should be pinged. Pinging @User:Master z0b, @User:Dellant, @User:ladymacbeth9 per relevant member list. --Ouro (blah blah) 06:24, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. There seems to be no inclusion criteria here, and given the vague title (what's a 'traditional armament'?) I don't see how there could be. The fact that this list includes cricket bats and golf clubs as 'traditional' weapons as well as a 'Oddities/Hard to classify' section is a good indicator of how useless the article is.

Delete Per nom. We already have the category. Srijanx22 (talk) 12:59, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom, ill-defined, WP:ORish "traditional" criterion and weird joining of weapons and armor. Lists of weapons does a much better job. Clarityfiend (talk) 13:19, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Per nom. Category exists, and list is poorly-defined and essentially useless. Intothat darkness 13:31, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
