Weapon accessory (history - links - logs - delete - protect)

This is an extremely generic article apparently designed to cover all accessories to weapons, which seems to be largely inspired by the Knights of the Old Republic games. There is no reason for us to have a generic umbrella article for weapon accessories when we already have articles for the more specific accessory types. Having this article is just unnecessary overkill.--Exiled Jedi Oldrepublic crest (Greetings) 17:48, March 15, 2015 (UTC)

  14. It's either this or actually become a dictionary (in which case this article would have to be split into "weapon" and "accessory" articles.) —Silly Dan (talk) 01:34, March 20, 2015 (UTC)

Keep

  1. Lots of people have no idea what a "weapon accessory" is. This article serves that purpose. They are not just in the KOTOR games but in most of the other role-playing games as well.--Richterbelmont10 R2 sig(come in R2!) 17:16, March 16, 2015 (UTC)

Discussion

Perhaps this should redirect to Category: Weapon accesories? Manoof (talk) 03:07, March 17, 2015 (UTC)

While it would be unusual to redirect a mainspace title to a category, it makes sense here since the title is a potential search query. I therefore would not object to that being done. —MJ— Council Chambers 08:26, March 17, 2015 (UTC)
  • Criminal redirects to the category page, so it is not unprecedented... Manoof (talk) 06:19, March 20, 2015 (UTC)
