I think the Wiki has gone overboard in the last few years with pages for things that don't really need pages, particularly when it comes to suits, weapons and paraphernalia. An easy, two-part test in my mind is

1) Does the item require a description longer than what would reasonably fit on the CharacterWhoUsesIt (Earth-616)#Paraphernalia section? Then give it it's own page.

2) Does the item have non-redundant appearances, where it appears sometimes when CharacterWhoUsesIt does not? Give it an Appearances category.

Note that Iron Man's Armor satisfies both those qualifiers, while Captain Marvel's Suit satisfies neither.

Some of these pages are even misrepresentative, I think, such as the case of Blade's Sword or Deadpool's Katanas. It gives the impression that these are unique, one-of-a-kind items when they're really not. I can recall Deadpool destroying his swords on several occasions. And just because Deadpool is carrying a sword doesn't make them Deadpool's Swords. (Thank god we've stuck with Punisher's Arsenal, instead of multiplying pages with Punisher's .45s, Punisher's Grenades, Punisher's M-16, etc.)
