Waffenfarbe

unencyclopedic: I consider this a candidate for the translation of a non existing chapter of a potential German (!) book for military experts. (forgotten to translate the title?) Habibie 16:56, 26 February 2007 (UTC) I wanted to point to the difference between chapters of books and Encycledia-Articles. Editing an encyclopedia is deciding upon the extent/complexity/circumfence of the language in which it is written, isn't it? Was that poor, before we knew about this new item? This is what I mean by unencyclopedic: There's so much, that might be interesting - we decide whether it's worth creating a new word for it (borrowed from ... see Loanword) Habibie 19:27, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Merge? — Consider merging into German Army (or other potentially more appropriate article on uniforms, etc.). Askari Mark (Talk) 00:05, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
 * The article certainly needs clarification. It talks about World War II units, but links to the Bundeswehr article. Does the Bundeswehr have branch colors like this? — Conscientious objector Kusma (討論), who transcluded this debate to Articles for deletion/Log/2007 February 27 shortly before 11:03, 27 February 2007 (UTC).
 * Yes it does. ~ trialsanderrors 18:20, 27 February 2007 (UTC) (lemon yellow)
 * Keep "Too much military information on the pages." -Habibie..... 8thstar 15:56, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: Perhaps we can get a comment from someone on the Military history and engineering task force, which has a Category:Military uniforms. I'll post a notice there. Askari Mark (Talk) 18:21, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep (which doesn't preclude merging it somewhere more appropriate). Topic is encyclopedic, title might have to be translated if there is common English word for it, but that's an issue for WP:RM. ~ trialsanderrors 18:22, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Google book search is pretty unambiguous about this. ~ trialsanderrors 18:32, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, being "for military experts" is not a reason for deletion. While this might be merged into a hypothetical article on branch colors in general (if anyone feels like writing one), it's a perfectly legitimate topic to be covered in an encyclopedia. Kirill Lokshin 18:28, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Just the fact of being a specialized topic (itself partially a subjective determination) is never a valid reason to delete.  The Google book search by trialsanderrors is quite conclusive as to the notability of the subject.  A merge to a Military branch colors article or to German military may be appropriate, but that is an editorial issue separate from AfD.  -- Black Falcon 01:09, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keepand improve. It doesn't use the correct terms or translations for the colors. Wandalstouring 17:29, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
