Incorrect license. Uploader is not copyright holder of flag of capital of state. Correct license is needed. Taivo (talk) 09:18, 26 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Obviously this file was my own work, representing a public domain image. From a copyright perspective, I still own a work which is derivative and transformative (in this case, the work was drawn in vector format for the first time)
I had every right to release this work into the public domain, and I used the license tag which was most appropriate for the situation 15 years ago. Aliasd (talk) 21:53, 27 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Kept: with {{PD-Papua New Guinea}}. Per Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Papua New Guinea, works of applied art are protected for a period of 25 years from the making of the work. The en:National Capital District (Papua New Guinea) was established in 1975, and there were reforms in 1995. It's therefore IMO likely that this flag is older than 25 years. If you have evidence that it is not, please nominate the file again. --Rosenzweig τ 09:25, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
