Division insignia of the United States Army

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

As per Category:Wikipedia image galleries, Articles for deletion/Strategic Air Command Group and Wing emblems gallery, and Articles_for_deletion/Field Army insignia of the United States Army this article is an image gallery that should actually reside on Commons. The appropriate gallery has been created at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Division_insignia_of_the_United_States_Army. Thus this article has been listed for deletion.

 * Withdrawn by Nominator: Starting this series of deletion discussions, I believed I was acting in accordance with the WP guidelines on image galleries. It appears that community consensus may not match the actual wording of the guidelines, and this deletion debate is turning into a policy discussion. Thus I withdraw the nomination, without prejudicing my right to renominate this article for deletion at a later date. Buckshot06 (talk) 02:00, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep This is a discriminate collection of images with a specific encyclopedic focus. Commons will never have the encyclopedic content in its galleries that is already present here, thus this gallery is non-duplicative of Commons' efforts. Jclemens (talk) 01:32, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Um...what encyclopedic content are you referring to? There is none in this 'article'. - The Bushranger One ping only 01:33, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
 * The references for a start. Why are there no sources listed on Commons? And I keyed in Strategic Air Command Group and Wing emblems gallery to Wikipedia and was not taken to Commons. So apparently the deletion was not complied with. What evidence is there that Wikipedia users will be able to find them? Hawkeye7 (talk) 05:16, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Note the Commons gallery is at 'Strategic Air Command Emblems'. The approved way of linking Commons galleries is through the tag/link box which can be inserted anywhere in an article. Buckshot06 (talk) 06:18, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
 * What is that? Where does it say to do that? The only way I know to link to commons is like Strategic Air Command Emblems but it is not working in redirection pages, and the commons page does not come up on a wikipedia search. Hawkeye7 (talk) 06:23, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Oh that thing. Not relevant for something like this. The procedures say that the deleted page should have been replaced soft links, but this was not done. Hawkeye7 (talk) 12:12, 6 May 2013 (UTC)


 *  Keep Abstain. Seems like a discriminate list to me as well. Agree with Jclemens. Ps. On second thought, abstain per nom's rationale about galleries, and since Commons gallery was created. Ping me on talk if anyone presents a new argument they think I should review. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 09:17, 6 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Proposal I hadn't seen the AFD on the Corps insignia page or I would have piped up there. I had the idea awhile ago to convert these pages more into a list-format, with the description and history of each emblem listed on a table. see this example. I just got as far as one image example in that table, but it occurs to me that these pages would be the appropriate place for the heraldry information for the insignia. — Ed!
