Talk:List of national flags by design

Latest comment: 2 months ago by Rexodus in topic National?

WP:OR

edit

Nobody proposed a rationale for a merger with List of flags by design. It's a possibility, but first, is this list really encyclopedic? This list cites no sources, and seems very WP:OR. Not sure if it should be merged here or deleted. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:51, 14 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

This page needs to be edited a bit

edit

I noticed that many of the lists are not completely sorted alphabetically. And the some of the lists are hard to understand. For example, if there is a star on the flag will it be put in the star category? No, not necessarily. If the star is part of a crescent then it won't be found on that list even though the star is clear and big. I actually used the list to create a world map where one can select the different categories so the list itself is very much useful. JurijFedorov (talk) 18:53, 13 February 2018 (UTC) So many flags missing still! Even in the cross and Union Jack category alone there are probably 7 flags missing. This page is very much incomplete. Shall I redo the whole thing or something?JurijFedorov (talk) 13:53, 26 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

National?

edit

The title says this should only include national flags, but there are lots of sub-national flags here. Which do we want it to be? National flags only, and remove the others? Or change the title? I'd say the former. —swpbT go beyond 16:46, 9 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

I'd favor it continuing to include subnational flags. I think many people who are looking for a list of flags with a certain design element will be interested in both, and it's not a major problem for people who only want national flags, as long as the subnational ones are clearly marked as such.

There is already a separate article (List of flags by design) that includes subnational flags. The real question is why have both articles and not just one? Rexodus (talk) 18:08, 16 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Can someone explain the "By continent" section please?

edit

The whole point of this article is examining the different designs that flags use, and grouping them accordingly. So what's the point of List of national flags by design#By continent? I believe this section should be removed. FDW777 (talk) 19:37, 22 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Removed. It was added by an IP editor last year, for reasons that are difficult to figure out. FDW777 (talk) 22:54, 23 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Historical flags?

edit

Historical flags (e.g. of the former USSR and its republics, of the Confederate States of America, etc.) should be removed, as there is no consistency nor logic behind which ones are included or not. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KVZgb (talkcontribs) 08:59, 7 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

UN Flag under maps

edit

Considering that under the "maps" section (11.12), the flag of the African Union is listed, shouldn't the flag of the United Nations also be listed?

No, that should be removed as well since it is also not a national flag. Which I have just done. Thank you for pointing that out. FDW777 (talk) 13:39, 31 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
