[edit] Lincolnshire flag

This appears to be a "soapbox" or advertising article. There is no neutral POV or facts given. Total removal seems in order. Trxi 15:27, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

• Weak keep or Merge with Lincolnshire. - FrancisTyers 17:07, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep but Tidy. After reading this BBC story [1] about the search for a new Lincolnshire flag (replacing the red cross on a white background), and looking at the flag mentioned on the Lincolnshire page, it seems the subject is worthy, but the writing style is totally unacceptable.

If you (collectively) wouldn't mind, I'll re-write very soon. I used to live in Lincolnshire, so am familiar with some of its history. JanesDaddy 17:26, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

• Extremely Weak keep but might be more inclined to vote keep after a clean up. Jcuk 17:31, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

First draft is at Talk:Lincolnshire flag. Please read before voting. JanesDaddy 18:00, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Based on the draft I'd vote keep. Jcuk 22:17, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, if the revised version on the talk page is going to be moved to the article page. Evil Eye 22:53, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Keep (for now at least) It appears that the article may become an issue of more notability in the future. As such it would be helpful to have a certain amount of background knowledge on the subject should the need arise to extend the article. --Chazz88 00:16, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

• keep but tidy. Real flag (was noted on Flags of the World website a few months back), based on the arms of the city of Lincoln. Grutness...wha? 01:15, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
• Definitely keep now that it's been nicely revised. Trxi 09:04, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

• Comment. Someone with more experience than me will have to redirect from The_Lincolnshire_Flag (which was created and not edited since November 22) (or preferably delete The_Lincolnshire_Flag altogether - definite article, bad capitalization). This article credits Charlie Partridge of Radio Lincolnshire, rather than Fred and Pat Rickett, who originally wrote to the County News newspaper. It was because of the Ricketts' letter that Partridge got involved. JanesDaddy 18:20, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

• I drew and added the flag. Is it me or is it really ugly? Morwen - Talk 09:30, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
