This article is currently a list of bladed weapons, a duplicate of Category:Blade_weapons, and in fact much of the content is the same. The category more than adequately covers this topic, so suggesting delete. ColourBurst 06:19, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - I'm also not really sure how you would usefully expand the content. The history of weapon development is probably better handled in the articles for individual weapons - this is never going to be anything more than a list, so why not just use the category form? --Brianyoumans 06:33, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete — As we already have so many seperate articles, there really is no need for this one, and this article has nothing more in it than the category and the articles it links to. Martinp23 11:55, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as per nom -- Whpq 20:18, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Move to List of bladed weapons? I have no problem with lists that duplicate categories, since lists can also include redlinks, which encourage expansion. -Hit bull, win steak^(Moo!) 14:56, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
