This flag is fictitious, proposed, or locally used unofficially. It has not been adopted in an official capacity, and although it may be named as if it was an official flag of a geographical or other entity and have some visual elements that are similar to official logos or flags of that entity, it does not have any official recognition. A flag of this type should not be added to any articles or pages unless it is officially proposed by a government agency, covered by the media, or sees notable local use.
This media file has been nominated for deletion since 9 November 2024.
Do not remove this tag until the deletion nomination is closed.
Reason for the nomination:
Fictional flag with misleading name, which leads to it being erronously used time and time again. If we absolutely must keep this file, it should be renamed so that users won't add it in good faith. As long as we keep this file under the current name, it will be detrimental to Wikipedia. COM:INUSE should not apply to outright misinformation
