We have 2 allegattions: 1. topic is not in Wikipedia scope. 2. topic is not properly referenced. Ad 1. National (State) Orders and Decorations are recognized topics on Wikipedia. I think there is no doubt of that. There are thousands of such articles. Encyclopedists can't discriminate recognized topics and regard some as "trivial". This is not our job. It is not any minor private award, or organization award, this is national award. You can find on Wikipedia hundreds of articles about awards which are more "trivial". For example: NASA Space Flight Medal. This is NOT National awards, this is organization award only, much lower grade than national, but nobody nominating this for deletion. Ad 2. Topic is fully referenced. There are first party references - official decrees from government site, second party references - article describing topic in publication of Luxembourg Red Cross and third party references - additional information published by RTL. What we need more? There are hundreds articles without any references at all. E.g. Decoration for Services to the Red Cross. I really can't understand nominating this article for deletion.

 * Keep. National state decorations are certainly notable, whatever they may be for. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:36, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep National decorations are normally considered notable. The sort of thing people turn to the Wikipedia for.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  22:09, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
