I seen that there was a dedicated IAC rank insignia page but none for Irish Naval Service and Irish Army. There had been one for Irish Army but it was redirected and merged three years ago. Now I had planned on creating three distinct rank insignia articles for all three DF branches (and had gone ahead and created one for the Irish Naval Service) but it didn't really make much sense when the content wasn't any different. Creating three separate rank insignia article pages that duplicated existing content on the main article pages simply wasn't justified. But I still felt a separate article for Irish military rank insignia should exist, especially if only to include in the 'Military ranks and insignia by country' template. So therefore I created a new article page Irish Defence Forces rank insignia that the existing three rank insignia template data can be placed into and linked in relevant articles (Irish Army, Irish Air Corps, Irish Naval Service).
PLEASE READ this talk page and justify your reasoning why this shouldn't be the case instead of unilateral changes and undoes. But remember it doesn't make any sense to have one article for Irish Naval Service rank insignia, one redirect/merge for Irish Army rank insignia (now merged into the main Irish Army article page) and one not existing entirely for the Naval Service (well, until I created it recently). Let's have some consistency for all three service branches folks. DojoIrl (talk) 03:08, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
