White Dragon (England)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This article meets three of the reasons for deletion: 1) It fails to meet the relevant notability guidelines. The subject has not received any significant coverage in reliable sources. It has received no coverage in secondary sources and no published work has support the assertion that this is an English emblem. It is also appears to be masquerading as a self-publicity article for some “English Nationalists” wishing to promote a new nationalist emblem and self-published material by the English Flag Society [see talk page] selling related material on their website. 2) Efforts to find reliable sources, and to verify them, to substantiate the claim have failed. No supporting evidence from any authoritative sources (such as the Flag Institute have been found. No vexillology source supports the claim. 3) References used are not “Independent of the subject" but are promotion websites selling related items (like the EFS and WeAreTheEnglish). Most of this article states that there is no evidence that the White Dragon was never an emblem of Anglo-Saxon England. The contemporary section in unsupportable.

 * Delete. The only reason for existence of the page is a minority English nationalist desire to have the White Dragon as the English flag, supported by no reliable sources. All the discussion of white dragons is a coatrack for the external links. Fences and windows (talk) 01:58, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
