:({{Find sources AFD|title=Flying machine (The War of the Worlds)}})

Unreferenced article and even it's very name may be ORish. I prodded it with the following rationale: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline requirement nor the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (fiction) supplementary essay. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar." It was deprodded by User:Andrew Davidson with an unhelpful rationale despite the fact that I asked in my prod for a proper rationale while deprodding. I am not sure if a redirect to Fighting machine (The War of the Worlds) makes sense but it can be considered. Please also see two other relevant AfDs next to this about nearly identical articles (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Handling machine (The War of the Worlds), Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Embankment machine (The War of the Worlds)). _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:36, 6 September 2021 (UTC)

• Delete- a minor, hardly mentioned, plot element in this book. The article is virtually unsourced and overflowing with OR, and the title is not much use since parentheticals in a redirect title are seldom useful. Unclear rationale for deprod. Reyk _YO! 07:37, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
• Delete: I could not find any reliable sources that have given this fictional machine significant coverage. The fact that it does not even have a proper name does not help its case. ―Susmuffin ^Talk 08:23, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
• Delete. Fails WP:GNG. Avilich (talk) 15:49, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
