Unauthorized use of trademark Gi076011 (talk) 17:45, 12 April 2018 (UTC) Creating deletion discussion for United Daughters of the Confederacy The name "United Daughters of the Confederacy"® is a registered trademark of the General Organization and may not be used outside the Organization without the express written consent of the United Daughters of the Confederacy®. The official UDC insignia is a registered trademark of the General Organization and may not be used without the express written consent of the President General. I have checked with the current President General and she did not grant permission for the use of either the name or the insignia on Wikipedia. There is no record that any previous President General approved Wikipedia's use of the name or insignia on Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gi076011 (talk • contribs)
 * Keep - no policy-based deletion rationale offered. Wikipedia (as any other reference work) covers many organisations and products that hold trademarks, and does not require the trademark holder's permission to do so. Cordless Larry (talk) 17:49, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. Perfeclty notable topic. Ridiculous rationale for deletion, from an obvious partisan inside the group, likely concerned about the (accurate) description of the group as working to maintain white supremacy. Binksternet (talk) 18:34, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Sppedy Keep but maybe we need to prominently note on the talkpage that UDC is trying to not only influence the page but delete it. Legacypac (talk) 18:46, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
