Deletion of List of firearm brands

Comment: per . Having a list article for the same topic as a category is (per ) "...considered to be complementary, not inappropriately duplicative." Furthermore, per , "...arguing that a category duplicates a list (or vice versa) at a deletion discussion is not a valid reason for deletion and should be avoided." Makes sense, because categories cannot be sourced or elaborated upon, while articles can. Since the Firearm article is rather lengthy, this is a reasonable  of it
