Coat of arms of Christmas Island

This article exists solely to state that the subject of the article doesn't exist. Seems a bit pointless to me. roux   01:30, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Christmas Island. Not an implausible search term. Tevildo (talk) 01:33, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Christmas Island. No reason for anvarticle saying it doesn't exist, but a reasonable thing someone might look for. Lady  of  Shalott  01:48, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect would solve the problem. Borock (talk) 02:17, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep, the article was gutted since I took it off my watchlist, I will fix it tonight when I get home. Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 03:38, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Christmas Island, and if there is no coat of arms, someone needs to clarify this in the infobox of that article. Lankiveil (speak to me) 03:48, 25 April 2009 (UTC).
 * I've now replaced and updated the gutted text, please all give it a second look, I don't think it warrants deletion or redirect now. Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 13:17, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * 404 on the one reference, and no sources for the "capacities" in which the unofficial emblem is used. My opinion is unchanged.  I should also point out that neither the emblem of the Shire or the unoffical emblem (for which we just have a text description) is a coat of arms, a shield (as a minimum) being an essential component of that type of symbol. Tevildo (talk) 13:51, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Exactly. The page doesn't appear to actually exist, there's no other reference for this 'unofficial' COA, and the emblem pictured isn't a coat of arms. What exactly is the point of this article? // roux   16:38, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Agreed with the comments above. There may be an unofficial logo, but not a coat of arms. If any information can be verified, merge it into Christmas Island. Lady  of  Shalott  17:21, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I also agree with the above. Note that the Shire of Christmas Island is a different entity to the Territory of Christmas Island, which this article purports to be about, so including information about the logo of one in an article about the other is inappropriate in my mind.

 * Delete This seems to come close to failing WP:MADEUP and it doesn't seem appropriate to turn it into a redirect given that the target article doesn't mention the coat of arms (for the reason that it hasn't ever existed) Nick-D (talk) 06:34, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge and set redirect My own search found two: an entirely different coat of arms with just as much claim to legitmacy as the one in the article. Not enough on either to support a seperate article.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 04:23, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete This is a Logo...not a Coat of Arms. Article is about what it is not--Buster7 (talk) 06:03, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. The first line of the article itself says it all. Doctorfluffy (robe and wizard hat) 05:33, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. I'd say merge, but this article has one single factual claim (that this is an unofficial coat of arms), and it's false. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire - past ops) 06:52, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
