While many of these files are PD, some are still copyrighted. Commons is an entirely encyclopedic place to put galleries, Wikipedia is not a repository of media files. Another issue is how to deal with claiming fair use for these images--there's no text in which they are discussed, the only thing that remotely makes fair use acceptable here is the title of the page. Looking at the history, quite a few images have already been removed, so I'm not sure what the point of having an incomplete list would look like--Gallery of country coats of arms in the public domain? Lastly, if this is determined to be a keep, I propose renaming it back to Gallery of sovereign state coats of arms (see first AfD) because our list of countries is actually a list of sovereign states, which does include Taiwan, Kosovo, etc. as de facto sovereign states, and under whose criteria for inclusion this gallery should be based on as well. (This does not address the issue of there being historic coats of arms not officially used today, and being excluded from this list, however.) So I'm in favor first of a transwiki free sections to Commons/delete and if kept, a rename. — fetch · comms 22:23, 30 May 2010 (UTC) reply
