Out of COM:SCOPE; COM:NOTHOST

  •  Keep all. COM:SCOPE does not exclude depictions of fantasy or fiction. In the absence of broad consensus on whether these files should be deleted, the status quo is to keep, and the impetus is on the nominator (or others who want to delete) to provide reasoning for why these individual flags are out of scope. (COM:PRP does not apply because this is not a copyright-based deletion request.) The nominator has failed to articulate substantial evidence or reasoning to delete on the basis of the project scope, so I oppose this deletion request.  Mysterymanblue  05:48, 17 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Yes it does. There is consensus to delete all files which are not educational. There is no way the nominated files could be educational, and they therefore must be deleted. That is the status quo. The argument made above that policy must be adhered to in cases of copyright but can be ignored in all other circumstances is as wrong as it sounds. The keep vote above was not based on substantial evidence or reasoning that the image is somehow within project scope, and should therefore be ignored.

It is not the status quo, as has already been explained to you several times. There has been a de facto practice for at least ten years that "special or fictional flags" have not been usually deleted just for being "special or fictional" unless there's some additional aggravating factor. It would be nice if you could tell me which image I actually uploaded, because I don't remember and don't feel like poking around... AnonMoos (talk) 18:31, 20 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
You adjusted the PNG compression here: File:Yugoslav tricolours.png. Andy Dingley (talk) 19:06, 20 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: @George Chernilevsky: you deleted File:State Flag of new Yugoslavia 2 by 3 (fictional).svg but linked to a different deletion discussion in the summary (Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by R-41~commonswiki). Was this a mistake? GPinkerton (talk) 14:08, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

My mistake: that file was also nominated in that deletion; I didn't realize! GPinkerton (talk) 14:09, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted: per nomination, personal fantasies have no educational value. Kept one in use. --P 1 9 9   17:28, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
