Logos removed

I've removed the logos from this article for failing WP:NFCC #8. It is wholly unnecessary to repeat the logos here when the main articles are linked, and representative logos exist on those pages. The rationales were also exceptionally weak; "Identifying the subject of this article". The subject is History of Vancouver Whitecaps FC", for which there is no logo. For Vancouver Whitecaps FC yes, but not for its history. --Hammersoft (talk) 18:26, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What you see as unnecessary we see as illustrative. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 20:00, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hammersoft, I've restored the logos for now. It would be better to advise how the rationales need to be improved, as the logos clearly form a part of the identity of the various Whitecap teams throughout the years. --Ckatzchatspy 20:04, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • The rationales aren't the issue. There IS no acceptable rationale that can be created for these logos for this use. These logos are decorative in use. You don't use a logo of a team every time the team is mentioned on some article. You refer to the article regarding that team instead. --Hammersoft (talk) 13:57, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Hammersoft is right here - without any sourced discussion on the nature of the changes in the logo with the changes in the club, they are simply decorative and fail NFCC#8 completely. --MASEM (t) 14:21, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
