Assessment comments The following comments were left by the assessors: (edit · refresh) There is considerable information here about the flag and its symbolism. I think it's at least "start" class, not "stub". On what was this assessment based? --ScottMainwaring 15:50, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Is there a purpose for all these Flag of X pages? They're showing up on http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special%3AShortpages --KQ 15:07 Sep 21, 2002 (UTC)

In my opinion, all these 'Flag of' pages could easily be changed into media: links. In fact, I have put 'Flag of Belgium' on the 'Votes for deletion' for that reason, and it has now been deleted, but when I saw there were tons more of such pages, I decided to give up my resistence.

There used to be tons of Country subpages, too, and a few wikipedians wiped those out in a few weeks. If these need to be somewhere else, or eliminated entirely, I'll help you. --KQ

They do have a point. Some Flag Pages (not all of them) have artcilce on the flags themselves. Flag of the Unietd states, united kingdom, sweden, netherlands. etc. Also they are for the large image fo the flag on the new countries pages. - fonzy

I'm the one who initiated these pages and they are as fonzy mentioned intended to hold an article on the national flag of the country. That may take time, so for now they contain just the large image of the flag. If you want to help, I guess we could for the mean time move the flag info from the Factbook/Government pages to these pages. Even if they mostly just describe the flag, this would still be a reminder that the page is awaiting further contributions. Scipius 17:02 Sep 21, 2002 (UTC)

I think that would be helpful. I'll just speak for myself, but when I saw the pages, I thought "why is this here? We have image description pages."  :-) --KQ
