Content forking, should be under the same article as is the standard (pardon the pun) for flag articles. Unless Nigeria is subsumed into another country, there should not be two articles for what is at root the same topic.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 00:05, 17 July 2016 (UTC)

Object. There is a big difference between Colonial Nigeria and Current Nigeria besides change from monarchy to republic. Colonial Nigeria started with less territory than current Nigeria. Plus which guideline says that flags should be separated when we have flag of Orange Free State within the Union of South Africa (which also has a separate article for its flag). Also per GNG there is enough info for it to be separated. And furthermore, the colonial flag page is actually bigger than this page so to merge all the content in, would make this page unwieldy as per WP:NOPAGE and also would be WP:UNDUE towards the colonial flag over the current one. Also this is not a content fork as per WP:CFORK, it does not duplicate any information in this page. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 07:31, 17 July 2016 (UTC)

Apples and oranges. Or to avoid another pun, a specious argument. Orange Free State is a political division of South Africa, just as Cornwall is a division of England and California is a division of the United States. Nigeria is just the successor state to the colonial merger, with some minor adjustments along the Cameroon border. For such a claimed Anglophile, you know better. One look at List_of_British_flags#Historical_flags shows the imagined problem nicely managed. Now the problem is what the UK flag will be when Scotland leaves for the EU. Much more of a real issue than this one.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 08:09, 17 July 2016 (UTC)

"A content fork is the creation of multiple separate articles all treating the same subject." Which by definition this is.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 08:10, 17 July 2016 (UTC)

Except this isn't the same subject, its the flag of a different political entity. That is of a British colony, this is of an independent republic The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 12:19, 17 July 2016 (UTC)

Plus your responses don't answer the problems posed by UNDUE and NOPAGE. Until those can be answered satisfactorily, there is no policy based reason for a merger. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 12:22, 17 July 2016 (UTC)

• Merge this blatant content forking is completely unnecessary. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:37, 9 May 2017 (UTC)

Oppose merge. Staying with the South Africa example, it worth noting that there are separate pages for Flag of the South African Republic, South Africa Red Ensign, Flag of South Africa (1928–1994), as well the current Flag of South Africa. It seems reasonable to treat Nigeria similarly and keep the distinct pages. Klbrain (talk) 14:17, 8 April 2018 (UTC)

State flags

A lot of the state flags here are sourced to worldstatesmen.org in their descriptions, which has been deprecated. Could someone more proficient in Nigerian topics help to find sources for them? I recently removed the Adamawa State flag as not even the official government website mentions such a flag in existence. Seloloving (talk) 22:52, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
