Road signs in Armenia

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Road signs in Azerbaijan & Road signs in Bangladesh were recently prodded under WP:NOTGALLERY, and deleted. I started to Prod others, but was objected to. I will be WP:BUNDLE-ing this AfD in a minute, please excuse me if it takes a little bit, I'm new to AfD Happy Editing-- IAm Chaos  05:55, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

I am also nominating the following related pages because [insert reason here]Same as main article, WP:NOTGALLERY, I mean its the same as above:


 * Keep all, and restore the PRODDED ones. A set of captioned images of a country's road signs is informative and encyclopedic, not an indiscriminate collection of images, so WP:NOTGALLERY is irrelevant. Pam  D  06:44, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep and restore the others. User:PamD makes a valid point. I will look for more refs on a few of them, at least for India. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 08:49, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep I see that the Armenian article is not very good. It does indeed mostly consist of a gallery of images, very little text, and poor explanations, for example when Armenian letters indicate units. But I look at Road signs in Japan and it is a reasonable article; it would be absurd to delete this, even if it is not the world's most gripping reading. And it shows that the Armenian article indeed could be improved, and should certainly not be deleted. Imaginatorium (talk) 09:12, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
 * And here's a source from police.am to show how vastly the Armenian article could be improved: https://www.police.am/news/view/%D5%B3%D5%A1%D5%B6%D5%A1%D5%BA%D5%A1%D6%80%D5%B0%D5%A1%D5%B5%D5%AB%D5%B6-%D5%A5%D6%80%D5%A9%D6%87%D5%A5%D5%AF%D5%B8%D6%82%D5%A9%D5%B5%D5%A1%D5%B6-%D5%AF%D5%A1%D5%B6%D5%B8%D5%B6%D5%B6%D5%A5%D6%80%D5%A8-%D6%87-%D5%B6%D5%B7%D5%A1%D5%B6%D5%B6%D5%A5%D6%80%D5%A8-%D5%B0%D5%B0-%D5%AF%D5%A1%D5%BC%D5%A1%D5%BE%D5%A1%D6%80%D5%B8%D6%82%D5%A9%D5%B5%D5%A1%D5%B6-2007-%D5%A9-%D5%B0%D5%B8%D6%82%D5%B6%D5%AB%D5%BD%D5%AB-28-%D5%AB-n-955-%D5%B6-%D5%B8%D6%80%D5%B8%D5%B7%D5%B8%D6%82%D5%B4.html Uncle G (talk) 11:59, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Regarding the units used in Armenia, everything I've seen suggests "մ" means "metres" - the letter is transliterated "m", մետր ("metre") lists "մ" as a synonym, Armenia uses metric units, and the values are all extremely plausible for metres, but I've not found anything that explicitly says that it means metres.

 * Oppose as bundled To pull two examples from the bundle, the Japan article is marked as a GA on Japanese Wikipedia, so there is room for expansion there, and the Singapore one has some good content. The potential for the articles differs significantly. The worst ones could be AfDed individually if there is no hope for expansion, but we should not be mass deleting all articles in this batch.

 * Keep alll and restore the others. Clearly encyclopaedic. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:30, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep all and restore the already deleted articles. WP:NOTGALLERY refers to uncaptioned photographs which clearly isn't the case in these lists. NemesisAT (talk) 14:21, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Strong keep, agree with others above. Not a valid enough reason for their deletion. Archives908 (talk) 14:25, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep all and restore the prodded articles. Having looked at 5 of these (India, Israel, Nepal, South Korea and UAE) I see articles that give encyclopaedic information and include images with appropriate context and explanation. Sure at least some of them could be improved, but AFD is not cleanup. Not nominated here, but Road signs in the United Kingdom shows the potential that these articles have. Thryduulf (talk) 15:10, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep, but delete some. I am firmly opposed to the deletion of those articles for which the images are factual and accurately sourced, regardless of how much descriptive text the articles may or may not have. The images on Road signs in Russia are sourced, and hence despite the two sentence opening statement, that is sufficient for me for the article to be maintained. I do not oppose the deletion of those articles which are heavily speculative and dependant upon images from other countries, such as Road signs in Myanmar, which is why I did not remove the deletion proposal on that page specifically, but did on others nominated by IAmChaos.

 * Keep', because Road signs in Japan is a great informative article.Fulmard (talk) 04:49, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
