I have removed the flag from the infobox. Because this article covers both human and physical geography, I am seeking a consensus of editors to determine whether flag use in the infobox is preferred or not, per MOS:INFOBOXFLAG. Magnolia677 (talk) 23:39, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
To quote the relevant text from MOS:INFOBOXFLAG: "Human geographic articles – for example settlements and administrative subdivisions – may have flags of the country and first-level administrative subdivision in infoboxes; however, physical geographic articles – for example, mountains, valleys, rivers, lakes, and swamps – should not. Where a single article covers both human and physical geographic subjects (e.g. Manhattan), or where the status of the territory is subject to a political dispute, the consensus of editors at that article will determine whether flag use in the infobox is preferred or not." The article for Manhattan -- the example provided for a place that has the joint characteristics of human and physical geography -- has flags for the United States, New York State and New York City, and Manhattan meets the good article standard. Featured articles for Boston, Houston, San Francisco and Seattle also use flags for country and state in their infoboxes. As a settlement with no defined area or boundaries, Pointers is most certainly a human geographic feature; it clearly neither covers both human and physical geographic subjects nor is it a subject of a political dispute.

No response here about the policy misunderstanding / confusion; Going once. No response at user's talk page; Going twice. I would have hoped that collaboration involves actual communication, but let's see what happens. Alansohn (talk) 22:36, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
