- The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
The result was merge to Gun fu. No consensus to delete. The arguments for merging are slightly stronger then the arguments for keeping. Otherwise this is a tossup (non-admin closure) Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:25, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

- Keep: I can understand why you might think it seems like an unimportant article, but having just stumbled on it and found it to be quite an interesting read, I think the article is worth saving. The whole point of Misplaced Pages is to inform its readers; I found it a useful article and I'm sure others will, so keep it. There are certainly sources out there, and if you're worried about it not being sourced, then look for references, don't delete.--Freelance Intellectual (talk) 22:07, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
- Merge relevant data into Gun fu (or Equilibrium article) and then kill off the rest. Gun Kata "appears" by name in one Kurt Wimmer film and "sorta" shows itself at one or two points in another one of his films, Ultraviolet. This is not notable enough to stand on its own with few sources if any to rely on. Radagast83 (talk) 06:02, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
- Keep Evidently notable. Merger into Gun Fu seems sensible. Colonel Warden (talk) 17:30, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
- Keep Has been used in multiple notable works. Also the article is large enough on its own, no need to merge it with another. Dream Focus 14:42, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
