The page is a gallery of images which is not the point of encyclopedic articles. This type of page should exist in Commons, which it already does. Jeff3000 20:37, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - commons is commons. (Alternatively make into an article on religious symbolism)--Docg 21:16, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect-- if it already exists in this form in Commons, then redirect. It seems that if someone types in "religious symbols", they should be able to quickly reach the images.  I disagree that a gallery of images is "not the point of encyclopedic articles"; the Encyclopedia Britannica often used its color plates for illustrations that led .  Everyone of these has a bluelink to an article; not everyone recognizes that the six pointed figure is the "Star of David".  I've seen a "triquetra", but never knew what it was called.  Does everyone know how to reach the Commons?  I didn't.  Mandsford 23:19, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete at the moment, typing "Religious Symbols" links to Religious symbolism, which has a link to the Commons page at the bottom. That seems to be enough for now, surely. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 09:20, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Soft redirect to Religious symbol makes the most sense here since we have such a gallery at commons. JoshuaZ 15:47, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
