This is a collection of images - a gallery - that should be on Commons, in accordance with WP:Galleries. Previous similar page deletions include Articles for deletion/Strategic Air Command Group and Wing emblems gallery, and Articles_for_deletion/Field Army insignia of the United States Army, as well as Articles for deletion/Coats of arms of micronations, insignia deletion discussion (and the second nom), and Articles for deletion/Coats of arms of U.S. Cavalry Regiments.

 * Delete listing, not an article but a image repository as presented which Wikipedia is not; but should make sure all are in Commons for use or even a page for Commons. Kierzek (talk) 19:49, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:NOTREPOSITORY. All of these images, produced by the US Gov't are public domain, belong on Commons, and can be linked to various articles via commonscat.
 * Keep. I can see no good reason for deletion of this article. Presents useful information on a notable subject in a systematic way. Perfectly good article. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:34, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Maybe I should have quoted the text from WP:IG: One rule of thumb to consider: if, due to its content, such a gallery would only lend itself to a title along the lines of "Gallery" or "Images of [insert article title]", as opposed to a more descriptive title, the gallery should either be revamped or moved to the Commons. .. Articles consisting entirely or primarily of galleries are discouraged, as the Commons is intended for such collections of images. Buckshot06 (talk) 08:32, 30 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom, and per the outcomes of the related discussions. This belongs on Commons as it is a collection of images, not an encyclopedia article - it would make a good page there, but doesn't really fit here. Nick-D (talk) 11:28, 30 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete: belongs in Commons. K.e.coffman (talk) 09:08, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Iazyges   Consermonor   Opus meum  22:56, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
