German Fatherland Flag → ? – I'm not seeing the name "Fatherland Flag" in any of the article's references, and I couldn't find any reliable sources using the term in a brief internet search. Unless some evidence is presented that this is indeed the flag's common name, the article should be moved to "Flag of the German Empire" or "Flag of Germany (1867–1918)" or similar.

Support this is just a copy paste of Flag_of_Germany#North_German_Confederation_and_the_German_Empire_(1867–1918) and this article should point there. It could also be renamed 'Flag of the North German Confederation' or 'Flag of the German Empire'—blindlynx (talk) 15:39, 23 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Doesn't seem like a direct copy-paste to me but I agree that it could just be merged back into Flag of Germany. BegbertBiggs (talk) 16:27, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest the article be renamed to The Realm Flag, when we make a germen translation of this article we can change the word Realm to its germen translation. which I think means Reich in germen. Zyxrq (talk) 22:28, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"Realm Flag" surely isn't the common name either. That said, the loanword Reichsflagge could be another possible move target. BegbertBiggs (talk) 11:42, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Reichsflagge sounds like a good compromise. I support that change.--Zyxrq (talk) 02:15, 26 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support "Flag of the German Empire" or "Flag of Germany (1867–1918)", with a preference for the first as the article on this state is titled German Empire. Oppose all other suggestions as I'm pretty sure they fail COMMONNAME and RECOGNIZABLE. (t · c) buidhe 10:24, 30 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Flag use in Western Germany, Cold War

We know during this time period it was used by the German Party (1947) and by the Deutsche Reichspartei. I have been having trouble finding sources for this time period which is the reason I haven't updated the article. If anyone could help that would be fantastic. Thank you.
