  • Delete. There was a recent AFD I initiated for a similar type gallery, Gallery of city flags. The reasonings that Corvus used on this AFD was used on that AFD. Anyways, this information should be transwikied to the Commons as soon as possible. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 03:13, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment actually, I'd say the most similar gallery would be Gallery of flags by design. I am not sure whether to keep this or not, but given the number of other pages, I'm going to suggest any decision be made with that factored in. FrozenPurpleCube 04:25, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
    • I think there should be an article on different flag designs or a listing of types, but I am not sure how often the galleries were used. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 04:36, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete It's a novel idea, but a gallery for flags with stars seems a little too specific. It would probably had to have been a list, but for flags with stars seems unnecessary, and what wikipedia is not. Redian (Talk) 04:47, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment If you see the template at the bottom, you'll see that there are quite a large number of similar galleries. Consider WP:IINFO and WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. No vote.-h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 07:48, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Lists-related deletions. -- John Vandenberg 08:42, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete grouping by whether a flag has a star on it or not is rather indiscrimate: the flags of the USA, North Korea, Iraq, Syria, and Israel all do; does this mean that the stars represent some commonality among them: I think I hear Kumbaya in the distance....well, not really...

  • Delete, the gallery by design is enough. If it meets the criteria (fairuse galleries...) --Tone 14:14, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
