Nièvre does not have a flag Cycn (talk) 19:24, 11 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

 Keep definitely. Invalid request. This is a cultural flag. The policy of Commons is definitely not to accept only official flags. In addition these images do not violate any copyright policy, and there open licence is valid here. May be it's a creative image, but all photos shared on Commons are creative as well. The image is still useful for illustration purpose, or just as symbolic icons. Why would you delete these flags ? verdy_p (talk) 10:35, 14 June 2013 (UTC).[reply]
Note: intially the category was not empty, some images have been there (but deleted). If any image reappears here about the department or one of its cities, the category will be recreated exactly with the same code. This will be unnnecessary edits and won't help uploaders finding the appropriate categories. Look at the categories for other departments, we've got flags there for the department or their cities, or other cultural flags for cultural subregions. Defintely, there exists many flags in Nièvre, or the city of Nevers, or the Nivernais. In fact there should be a category for all departments of France (look at the parent category:Flags of departments of France : almost all departments are populated, some of them more than others, but this is just a current lack of data, in fact there could be many more images in them too, wanted for illustration purpose, e.g. for creating project banners in Wikipedia, or for illustrating cities, or articles about events). verdy_p (talk) 10:43, 14 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
If you don't see a problem with an empty category than I don't have a problem with a removel of this deletion request. Feel free to do so if you believe that the category is still valid and useful. Cycn (talk) 14:28, 14 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
