4. I don't see why someone using a toothpick as a makeshift weapon makes toothpicks notable. John Wick killed three men with a pencil but that doesn't mean a pencil is a weapon in the John Wick universe. 1358 ^(Talk) 14:37, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

7. Nothing inherent to toothpicks has changed -> no in-universe uniqueness. OOM 224 17:43, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

1. Cad Bane used it as a weapon, which doesn’t happen IRL — YakovChaimTzvi (he/him/his) (talk) 14:24, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
2. "The bounty hunter Cad Bane sometimes used a toothpick, which he could also use as a weapon." Not really a thing that's done on Earth. Rsand 30 (talk) 14:27, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

Comments

• On toothpick as weapons: "As an example, according to Diodorus Siculus, an ancient Greek historian, Agathocles, a tyrant of Syracuse, was assassinated as a result of using a toothpick smeared with poison." (article) You have a dagger called the Arkansas toothpick. You also have the a wiki-how about how to craft toothpick gun toy. And finally, it's a debate about nature vs intention. Pretty much everything that is not a weapon by nature can be used with the intention to harm. --NanoLuuke^{Cloning facility} 14:52, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
• Are we just deleting the canon page or the Legends one as well? Rakhsh (talk) 18:18, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
  • This vote only concerns the Canon page. A separate vote to delete the Legends version would probably be in order, though, unless the Legends variant has some sort of extra notability that isn't covered here. 1358 ^(Talk) 18:21, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
    • Legends article mentions lightsaber toothpick. I'd vote keep based on that personally lol Manoof (he/him/his) (talk) 09:00, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
      • From the quote it sounds like a joke. UberSoldat93 (talk) 06:18, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
