all of the flags in this category have a resolution which is so low that they cannot used properly SVGs are aviable Antemister (talk) 13:13, 9 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. I cannot see these pictures in a useful environment. If these were SVG files, then it would be a completely different story. John Aplessed (talk) 22:28, 9 August 2010 (GMT)

Icons, by design, are made to be displayed at a specific size. Many times, icon creators first create the image in SVG then scaled it to a specific size and make detail edits so that the icon is clear at each resolution. Furthermore, these are pixel art icons. Making them SVG would defeat the purpose. You aren't supposed to use these as full-size flags... Some things just aren't made to scale. For example, should these be SVG? No, there's no reason for it.

Kept. Many icons are in use. Please create separate nomination for unused icons if the rational is still under consideration. ZooFari 22:24, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
