Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Flaming sword (effect)
The nomination's claim that this is a dictionary definition seems to be the classic error of misreading a stub -- see  for an explanation.  There are plenty of sources which cover the theatrical effect including ''Pyrotechnics ''; ''The Development of the Theatre''; ''Secrets of the Sideshows''; ''The Making of Theatre History'';''Theatre of Fire: special effects in early English and Scottish theatre''; &c.  It might be sensible to combine this with the article Flaming sword (mythology) as the effect will usually be used to simulate the myths and legends.  But adding sources and developing the content are done by ordinary editing, not deletion per , , , , &c
