Logos and uniforms of the New England Patriots

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

I came across the article while browsing some NFL topics. This article should be deleted for the following reasons:
 * The subject of the article is not notable in and of itself. The New England Patriots are notable, but their uniforms and logos by themselves lack the notability separate from the team itself to be included as its own article.
 * The lack of notability is shown by the lack of sourced critical commentary on Logos and uniforms of the New England Patriots.
 * This article is, at its core, a non-free content gallery, housing 16 fair-use images. This goes against the principle of a free encyclopedia.
 * Overall, this is an unnecessary fork of New England Patriots. The main article covers the subject enough, and at the very least a separate section can be written in the main article to cover this very narrow topic (see Green Bay Packers for an example of this).  Mainly, there just has not been any third-party reliable sources that focus on just the logos and uniforms.  The sources in the article are not third party, nor do they just discuss the topic of the article.  They discuss the Patriots as an organization and make passing comments about the changes in uniforms and logos.  Thus this article should be deleted.  « Gonzo fan2007  (talk ♦ contribs) @  '' 20:44, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete non-notable gallery. Tavix (talk) 20:59, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete all images could be used on the Pats main article, history article, or season articles; no need to repeat them again.  Black ngold29  21:43, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
