Symbols of New England

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is a duplication of existing pages, primarily Culture of New England. The sourcing doesn't say that many of these are symbols of New England, simply that they are from New England. An attempt to redirect was reverted. power~enwiki ( π, ν ) 16:02, 25 November 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete Too much original research. Creating an entry for "Patron Saint" and entering the patron saints of two regional archdioceses does not make it so (see Patron saints of places). Similarly, the Flag of New England is not described as unofficial. The various list entries appear to be arbitrary. BiologicalMe (talk) 17:17, 9 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete: I'm not thinking so much an OR violation as a WP:SYNTH one; there seems to be very little here by way of sources describing these things as broadly perceived regional symbols. Who genuinely thinks that "King Philip's Seat" or St. Joseph are "symbols" of New England?   Ravenswing    20:29, 9 December 2018 (UTC)
