 * Delete per Bearian Not even worth merging to or merge and redirect to Badges of the United States Coast Guard. It doesn't merit a standalone article. (Badges? We don't need no stinking badges!) Clarityfiend (talk) 20:09, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

 * If you're going to mindlessly name links, I'll quote them and give another: "Consequently, this policy is not a free pass for inclusion: articles must abide by the appropriate content policies." WP:NOTABILITY. Acknowledgement of its existence is PRESERVED at Badges of the United States Coast Guard. Reywas92Talk 22:56, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

 * yep, no probs with a redirect. Coolabahapple (talk) 13:41, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
 * I really can see the handwriting on the wall. Charles D. Michel links to the page but the refs there are dead; I've flagged them.-- Georgia Army Vet Contribs Talk 18:27, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
