Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Katanas in fiction
but delete the list as per above.  Please keep in mind the difference between OR and unsourced material: "Unsourced material is material not yet attributed to a reliable source.  Original research is material that cannot be attributed to a reliable source." (taken form ).  The first part is valuable analysis, many parts of which can be sourced.  The portrayal of the article by the nom as "seeking to capture every appearance in every medium of not only a katana, but of any sword or sword-like weapon" is ''highly'' misleading as it describes only one part of the article
