Landscape heraldry

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This article fails the WP:NOTABILITY guideline. There is almost no literature on this relatively obscure phrase. Within the broader spectrum of heraldry, landscape heraldry is essentially a 19th century fad that can be summed up in about one paragraph, as evidenced by this page, which consists of a few sentences and a massive picture gallery that includes every example of landscape heraldry that could be found on WM Commons. This article does not represent a potential that is helpful to Wikipedia readers or the Heraldry Project, due to its lack of notability. Wilhelm_meis (talk) 12:36, 12 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep The term 'landscape heraldry' has been used in at least one book on heraldry, (though it's only been given a passing mention). Though I'm sorely tempted to !vote for a delete, I see multiple references in Google of this term leading me to believe that this is indeed a notable form of heraldry. (NOTE: Maybe the reason why this term isn't very popular is because it's a technical term(?) ) Anti  venin  13:54, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge & Redir to Heraldry - not notable in its own right. It seems to be a simple dicdef according to this site. Note also CopyVio. Exit2DOS2000   •T•C•  16:30, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
 * It's not a copyright violation. If you read that site carefully, it says: The source of this article is Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The text of this article is licensed under the GFDL. The topic seems notable enough to have been mentioned in numerous sites.  Anti  venin  16:42, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
 * ok my whoops on the copyvio ... but its still seems a dicdef to me. Exit2DOS2000   •T•C•  18:00, 12 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:00, 19 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep The material in that book for GBooks (A Complete Guide to Heraldry By Arthur Charles Fox-Davies, Graham Johnston)  is a discussion,not just a mention. Based on it, the article could be easily expanded. DGG (talk) 00:44, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
