There is a notice that says, "This article is an orphan," but the section "3D printers" in the article "Improvised firearm" links here with "Main article: 3D printed firearms". I read the guidelines for orphan articles, and it doesn't say these don't count towards being non-orphaned, as far as I know. Sorry, I'm rather new to this. I don't even know what to do on a talk page. F16falcona46 (talk) 00:50, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

INSERTING clarification: The merge proposal is to merge the Effects of 3D printing Firearms subsection (in the 3D printing article) into this (3D printed firearms) article. The merge proposal was tagged by another editor on that page on 10 NOV 2013, but not on this one at the same time, so I completed notice of the proposal today. Sorry for the confusion, or if I did it wrong. I just found it by way of an unrelated discussion. Lightbreather (talk) 22:06, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

The tag is usually added for fewer than 3 inbound links, but if you think it's already "linked as much as is justified", then go ahead and detag it. As this article has 3 links anyway: Special:WhatLinksHere/3D_printed_firearms (and surely needs one from Defense Distributed too), It's pretty moot. Andy Dingley (talk) 01:16, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

Although certainly expansion of the section should go into this dedicated article, per WP:SUMMARY I think some mention of the 3d printed firearms issue does need to remain in the 3d printing main article. Gaijin42 (talk) 16:22, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

• Oppose There's enough external interest and coverage of firearms specifically to justify this separate article. Andy Dingley (talk) 21:27, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
