@Mccapra: Proposed for deletion at 22:38, 11 May 2020 by User:Mccapra as "No RIS since 2006.". This riotsquad weapon seems notable and real. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 04:45, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, in the absence of reliable sources of course we cannot keep the article. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 19:34, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Unusual to have what appears to be a keep participant as the nom but assuming I'm reading that correctly we don't yet have a consensus

Weak delete. As a native speaker of German, I looked for sources as well. The thing exists, and has been discussed in government sources. The minutes of the municipal council of Zurich, where its use by police was subject to debate, give a somewhat complete overview of the device and its use. But it's a primary source, and everything else on the Internet seems superficial or unreliable (anti-police websites, weapons fan sites, etc.) Sandstein 11:30, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
