On 14 June 2024, it was proposed that this article be moved to Purple in heraldry. The result of the discussion was not moved.

Only four flags claim

This may be true, but El Salvador does not actually appear to specify or contain purple in its rainbow. Is there a source for this other than editors counting by hand? --Ms7821 (talk) 20:55, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

List of flags containing the color purple → Purple in heraldry – The List of flags by color has a section for purple; it is Wikipedia's actual list of flags with purple. This article talks about the meaning of purple in heraldry. Georgia guy (talk) 18:43, 14 June 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. Safari Scribe^{Edits!

As author of the article, I support the idea. Originally I wasn't really sure how to name it, and I think this is a better name.Artemis Andromeda (talk) 23:16, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

though idk if "purple in vexillology" wouldn't be a better name, since the article as of now is about flags not coat of arms Artemis Andromeda (talk) 23:17, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that heraldry feels less appropriate - as it suggests, at least to the average user an entirely different topic. I think “purple in vexillology” is more appropriate and conveys the purpose of the article in a way that the reader is likely to expect. PurpleReindeer (talk) 01:35, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Thoughts on "purple in vexillology"? – robertsky (talk) 07:46, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose both proposals. It's about flags, not heraldry, and most people are not familiar with vexillology. The current title is natural and easily understood. Killuminator (talk) 13:28, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

vexillology is flags. It's a proper term for study of flags Artemis Andromeda (talk) 16:13, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: about flags. 'Purple in vexillology' may be a goer. YorkshireExpat (talk) 20:24, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
oppose this page is about flags and Purpure---that is a page about Purple in heraldry already exists—blindlynx 14:18, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
