 * Keep - I have no clue where to go with this. My page was marked for deletion, I wish to contest that, arguments are on the Talk page of my article. I tried the 'preloaded debate', but that sets me up as a seconder of the deletion, as far as I can tell. I have never had to contest a deletion before, so please forgive me if I'm doing this all wrong. David V Houston (talk) 19:26, 7 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep – Informative – Notable – and easily verifiable. What more do we ask for any piece here on Wikipedia?  Thanks.  ShoesssS Talk 19:36, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete four subpages as original ProDder. Proposed deletion reason was "List of as such not notable things. It is logical to add and describe coats of arms to each individual commune article, as has been done. It is not a suitable list for Wikipedia though to have a 4 page, 200K total list of coats of arms of (mostly) small villages in the same region." We have on the one hand the coat of arms in each commune article, with th heraldic description, which is informative and pertinent info. We have a good overview of the coats of arms at . As it is noted at the top of Category:Wikipedia image galleries: "Generally, such a page does not in itself constitute an encyclopedic article. A much wider range of image galleries can be found at the Wikimedia Commons image repository; pages consisting entirely of images are better suited to the scope of that project and it is probably best to create them there." Perhaps a soft redirect from Armorial of the Communes of Nord to the Commons page is an option? When doing this, no information is lost, and people on Wikipedia have a good way of finding the info, without us duplicating the work done at Commons. Fram (talk) 06:42, 8 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep. I don't have any strong objection to keeping the articles, as they are properly sourced and the topic appears to be notable. I think we should, however, explore the idea of transitioning this over to commons - as Fram rightly notes, they do the image gallery thing pretty well over there. But there need be no urgency.

 * Keep. also Notable for me. --Chatsam (talk) 13:49, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Looks OK to me. (Not often I'm that brief...) Peridon (talk) 15:02, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. I agree this articles and the others french armorials of the departments. It should be interessant to have the same thing for the United Kingdom and others Commonwealth realms. Lord Fitzwarin (talk) 17:30, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
