Badges of the Royal Australian Navy

Nominating this for deletion as it is a gallery of fair-use images, which may not be covered by Royal Australian Navy copyright or the image tag use to justify most of the images in this article. There is little chance of expanding many of these out with encyclopedic commentary, as these images are being used to represent the ships and divisions; the crests themselves are not the subject of this article.

The main reason I can see for keeping this is so that we have access to all the crests, but I believe that such a taks is better handled by the navy itself. Also, I have spent the past few weeks adding these images to the articles on the various ships/organisations (or to the appropriate disambiguation page if such articles do not exist: see HMAS Bunbury). I will state that not all images have found a home elsewhere, as I cannot find an appropriate location for some in the "Commands", "Force Element Groups" and "Other Badges" sections. For organisational purposes, I set up a visual category at Category:Royal Australian Navy badges. -- saberwyn 21:55, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. If these images are fair use images, you can not show them in the Category:Royal Australian Navy badges but you can have a category that does not show them. I think that is the best solution and delete the article. --Bduke 22:35, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I have fixed the category so the images are listed, not in a gallery. --Bduke 22:43, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you. -- saberwyn 23:57, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete - gallery of FU images; no content. --Peta 01:27, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. While there is some content, the article is mainly a collection of badges. Capitalistroadster 02:03, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
