Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Leopard (heraldry)
The meaning of the term has changed: early on (until the late 14th century) the term meant a ''lion passant guardant'' in English heraldry, but after the 15th century these were more often termed ''lion passant guardant'', leaving the door open for the unmaned, spotted species to eventually enter the heraldic lexicon under the term ''leopard''.  To confuse matters, the heraldic term ''leopard'' continues to refer to a lion passant guardant in Francophonic heraldry.  Then there are the terms ''lion leopardé'' and ''leopard lioné''.  I think regardless of its notability in terms of Google hits or number of appearances in Siebmacher's, this is a murky enough topic to warrant a fuller explanation than can be given in a few lines.  Besides that, I think the charge's appearance in English and Danish royal heraldry alone makes it otable.  I would support merging into Lion (heraldry), but I would prefer simply rewriting this article with high quality sources, and including a "main article" hatnote in the Lion (heraldry) section to direct readers to this article
