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. —swpb^{T 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.

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 (talk • contribs) 08:59, 7 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Isle of Man is an autonomous region in Italy?[edit]

Revision as of 19:44, 5 August 2020 by 213.149.62.212 :

Why on earth did you add

Isle of Man (autonomous region in Italy )

?

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]

Brazilian Flag in Southern Cross[edit]

Should Brazil be included in the Southern Cross section of the Stars section? Deangunn12 (talk) 21:48, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Taiwan?[edit]

Taiwan is excluded from the list of multi-pointed star flags. 2600:8803:C40B:F900:558:9823:DD49:D229 (talk) 03:02, 10 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
