This small single table article should not exist and its content should be merged to Somalia or some other sub-article of the country. Gonnym (talk) 19:42, 3 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep: Definitely needs to be expanded, but it appears that this format of article is very common. Articles like National symbols of the Philippines or National symbols of Ireland, the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland provide good templates for expansion of this article. Probably could go into the history of each symbol in prose, and tie it into the history of Somalia, like these articles do. Patr2016 (talk) 19:54, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment if you want to propose a merge you don’t need to bring the article to AfD. Mccapra (talk) 20:18, 3 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete - These symbols are already included in the article for Somalia. --TheInsatiableOne (talk) 10:41, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Somalia. Unneeded CFORK and DUP.  // Timothy :: talk  09:24, 23 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Merge- This single table article should not exist and its content should be merged to Somalia PaulGamerBoy360 (talk) 17:07, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep, notable and similar articles for several countries exist and provide a better guideline for what to do with it. Should be heavily rewritten. Chaotic Enby (talk) 20:41, 25 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Keep but make list. People saying it should be merged into Somalia should note WP:SIZERULE Somalia is already over 16,000 words and is therefore in the "Almost certainly should be divided" category. i.e. this is exactly what should happen, forks should occur. This article seems more like a list than articles, so I checked if the items are dealt with collectively as a list and google books shows many examples, so I think this passes WP:NLIST even if it is not technically a list right now. I'd suggest making into a list, then it would seem very aligned with guidance/poliucy CT55555 (talk) 23:13, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep We have numerous articles detailing the national symbols of various countries. When the parent article is so long, it's appropriate to have this separated. Joyous! Noise! 04:21, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
