Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of fictional swords (2nd nomination)
I think Protonk makes some good points in his !vote that relate to your points here. There is not necessarily anything wrong with having lists of ''notable'' swords, but a "list of fictional swords" is not the best way to go about it; the scope is impossibly broad and leads to a mess of an article that has narry a |snowball's chance of ever becoming a |FL. Now, separate lists such as List of fictional swords in Anime, List of fictional swords in medieval literature, and List of swords in The Lord of the Rings series might, if properly referenced and asserting notability, be more discriminate lists. A parent article on Swords in fiction could point to each of these. However, given the current state of the article and its lack of references, it would seem that the best course of action is to delete and start over, creating the main Swords in fiction article first and working from there. This may even be a subject that a WikiProject or task force could take on
