The result was keep. Again a piece of clear consensus, just one editor is favor of deletion, however that was not much impressing. (non-admin closure) ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛ ^Talk ^Email 14:29, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia:NOTGALLERY —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 19:38, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

Keep WP:NOTGALLERY refers to articles "with no text". This article contains text and has more of a temporal focus than a graphical one - the nominator's deletion spree seems to have gone off track. The topic has a clear and coherent theme and so is quite proper and should be developed further in accordance with our editing policy. Warden (talk) 20:24, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
Speedy keep. This article is quite obviously not a gallery, and also not a mere collection of links or media files, so it is mysterious why nominator invokes WP:NOTGALLERY, and this nomination should be treated as lacking a rationale for deletion. --Lambiam 23:16, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
Keep clearly not relevant to NOTGALLERY - I do, however, wish that somebody had made this more navigable! TheGrappler (talk) 11:26, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

Comment. How, exactly, is this only a gallery? It's a timeline that happens to include visual information. Sławomir Biały (talk) 12:39, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
Speedy keep - the deletion rationaile is completely invalid, and even if this were a gallery this is exactly the kind of page you'd be likely to find in any encyclopedia. Do we want to give the WP:NABOBS more reason to laugh at Wikipedia? - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 05:56, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
Keep It doesn't call itself a gallery, plus I find this page incredibly useful to check in one location for changes to flags. SimonX (talk)

Delete fails WP:GNG. Completely unreferenced. Stuartyeates (talk) 08:45, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
WP:SOFIXIT. And I wouldn't be surprised to find plenty of references on the individual flags' pages, which are linked to from the article. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 18:02, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
Keep - Nomination is incorrect (assuming WP:NOTGALLERY:4 is being referred to) - text and tables provide the context necessary. Regarding WP:GNG - these are national flags, surely it's common sense to accept notability?
(Side note: I have to say that this article is potentially very useful and it looks really funky ^_^ ) ŞůṜīΣĻ¹98¹^Speak 06:56, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
