 * Keep WP:NOTGALLERY refers to articles "with no text". This article contains text and, if we should want more, this is best done by further editing in accordance with our editing policy, not by deletion.  The topic has a clear and coherent theme and so is quite proper.  Warden (talk) 20:19, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Not all useful things on Wikipedia should be deleted, and not all galleries are bad. For example, Gallery of sovereign-state flags is good. It is even touted at Gallery as an example of a good gallery (although that did not keep nominator for also nominating that gallery for deletion). That gallery is indeed extremely useful as a navigational aid. Assisting navigation is one of the stated purposes of lists, and galleries can also serve that purpose, in particular for items whose primary representation is visual. As it is, for many people the primary representation of the topic of this gallery is also visual, and it serves a navigational purpose. --Lambiam 23:08, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep. No legitimate basis for deletion given.  Sławomir Biały  (talk) 12:30, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep - very encyclopediatic subject; notable; likely an invalid and certainly WP:ALLCAPS-only 'rationaile' as part of a shotgun WP:IDONTLIKEIT-smelling AfD campaign. - The Bushranger One ping only 07:59, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep For the same reasons that have been given for all of these articles the nominator has AFD'd with the same incorrect rationale. WP:NOTGALLERY is not violated and the subject matter is notable.
