Coat of arms of Western Sahara

WP:POVFORK of Coat of arms of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 02:13, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep, per WP:NPOV : Western Sahara is a disputed territory claimed by 2 entities : the SADR and Morocco. Per WP:NPOV, nor SADR nor Morocco's Coats of arms should be described as the sole ones for Western Sahara. This article has also to be kept per RfC . --Omar-toons (talk) 09:16, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
 * No one other then you agrees with your interpretation of the RfC, not myself, not NickCT, not Noleander, not Location. No one else wants the articles to be split, not myself, not User:Charles Essie, not User:koavf, not User:Dzlinker. The (misnamed) "Coat of arms of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic" article clearly acknowledges the coats of arms of the Moroccan regions of Western Sahara. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 23:29, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
 * No one? There are 14 editors that agreed on the RfC to have a page called "Flag of Western Sahara" linking to the flag of each claimant apart. Btw, here I quote Sandstein's RfC closure message: "I find that there is consensus for proposal 3 (i.e., a page explaining and linking to the various flags used to represent the territory, similar to Flag of Korea). This proposal has by far the most support of all, and is supported by a substantial majority of contributors". Therefore, this page should not be deleted unless there's a clear consensus that outweighs the RfC --Omar-toons (talk) 06:02, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete There should be one article and it should be named Coat of arms of Western Sahara per WP:COMMONNAME. This is a perfect example of nonsensical forking. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 19:23, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete of course, per nom and Koavf. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 > haneʼ 06:08, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment To clarify, the scope of Coat of arms of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, despite it's title, is Western Sahara, not just the SADR. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 21:00, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
