The result was delete. The single "keep" opinion is basically WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, which is not a good argument for an AFD. Lankiveil (speak to me) 01:22, 1 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Per Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2014 December 9, the merits of this speedily deleted article should be discussed here. Please see the review discussion for possible reasons for deletion. This is a procedural nomination, I am neutral.  Sandstein  12:08, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • I was one of three editors who consecutively declined this for speedy deletion before it was finally taken out on the fourth attempt. I'm not going to vote here, but would like to bring to the attention of the debate a few facts which led to my speedy decline. It is clearly a real thing, not just made up one day by an over-enthusiastic Donetsk partisan, it being covered on numerous sites. The symbolism and history is discussed in depth here and here. CBC think it notable enough to mention that stickers with the Donetsk coat of arms were placed over the Ukraine coat of arms on ballot boxes. This vexicology site sees fit to include it. Articles on individual coats of arms seem to be well established and accepted by the community as encyclopaedic topics. SpinningSpark 13:53, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
