• Keep. Not all useful things on Wikipedia should be deleted, and not all galleries are bad. For example,
  good gallery (although that did not keep nominator for also nominating that gallery for deletion). That gallery is indeed extremely useful as a navigational aid. Assisting navigation is one of the stated purposes of lists, and galleries can also serve that purpose, in particular for items whose primary representation is visual. As it is, for many people the primary representation of the topic of this gallery is also visual, and it serves a navigational purpose.  --Lambiam 23:09, 7 October 2011 (UTC)[reply

Further comment - How do national flags fail

WP:GNG? As for referencing, one can simply click on the individual articles (e.g. List of Polish flags) and find refs there. ŞůṜīΣĻ¹98¹^Speak 09:00, 12 October 2011 (UTC)[reply

• Delete per lack of references. GoodDay (talk) 05:52, 14 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Lack of references is not grounds for deletion. Most lists lack references. Sławomir Biały (talk) 10:21, 14 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
