Per the similar AFDs here and here, here's an even more unlimited, less useful list. No limits mean that this can never be usefully complete or particularly useful for navigation. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 06:26, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Furthermore, this list is not comparable to the other two lists mentioned in the nomination. The other two lists were lists of real firearms, in films and videogames. In contrast to those two lists, this list excludes real weapons. It isn't a list of the weapons that appear in works of fiction. Unlike the other two lists, this list will not potentially have several thousand historical novels listed against "sword". It is the list of weapons that appear in works of fiction excluding all of the real ones, which narrows the scope of the list significantly from what, per the nomination, it appears some editors erroneously think the scope of the list to be. The crossbows, guns, swords, and so forth in historical fiction are all are excluded from this list because they are real weapons.
The only real reason for considering deleting this article, which hasn't even been mentioned in this discussion, is whether the categories (note the plural) do the job a lot better. They currently don't. The categories don't include duodecaplylatomate, the DeLameters, and the Sunbeam from the Lensman series, for example, and cannot include them because we (rightly) don't have individual articles on them. There are plenty other fictional weapons that similarly don't warrant whole articles to themselves. There is a clear place for this list to supplement the categories, and the list is neither too broadly construed to be maintainable nor too narrowly construed to be useful. Keep.
