No evidence this passes WP:NFICTION/GNG. The gadget is mentioned here or there, but there is no in-depth analysis or such, a few fanpages with plot summaries (lists of gadgets, etc.). Non-notable fictional weapon concept. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 15:56, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Maybe potential for a List of arrow types that could go alongside Category:Arrow types, but this particular article is just fancruft and should be deleted per WP:TNT._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 18:00, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - The few sources being used here are not from reliable sources, and are all just referring to the Green Arrow's arsenal. The vast majority of the information here is unsourced, and the section on "other media" is not only unsourced but largely comprised of WP:SYNTH. While the phrase "trick arrow" comes up with plenty of results, none of them are actually in-depth discussions that would allow for any sort of decent article, and certainly do not support the mountain of cruft and synth that this article is made up of. As the vast majority of the results from searches use the phrase in reference to the Green Arrow, perhaps a redirect to his article would be appropriate, but none of the information currently present is worth preserving or merging.

• Delete way too much detail. Any reliable stuff can be stated on the articles of notable characters, no justification for a seperate article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:17, 20 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - Fails WP:GNG. TTN (talk) 12:14, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge to arrow minus the long list of which character uses which type of trick arrows. JIP | Talk 12:40, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep or merge to arrow per Jip above. BOZ (talk) 13:06, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
