This flag map uses the map of the state of Rio de Janeiro, with the flag of the city of Rio de Janeiro, which are not the same. The category is clear stating that it's supposed to be a flag map of the state, and the correct version of it exists at File:Flag map of Rio de Janiero.png, with a typo in the name. The file with the error has to be eliminated, and the correct one shall be renamed to correct the typo and replace it in all uses. Solon 26.125 13:41, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
- Why can you just replace the file? SpinnerLaserzthe2nd (talk) 15:45, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
Comment In fairly wide use. -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 22:02, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
- @Infrogmation and SpinnerLaserzthe2nd: if it's possible to replace the wrong map that I've sent for deletion with the one currently at File:Flag map of Rio de Janiero.png, deleting this one already in wide use won't be needed, and the wrongly named but correct one, with no use, may be deleted instead - I only don't know how to do that.

- Infrogmation, SpinnerLaserzthe2nd and Solon26125, apparently I’ve successfully replaced the wrong flag with the correct one on English Wikipedia (if I checked correctly, the only Wikipedia that was using it—on a template). However, I oppose the deletion of this file (the wrong one), because I think it may be somehow useful, just a little bit capital-centric, I’d say. So, rename it to Flag map of Rio de Janeiro (capital flag version) or something similar. After that, we’ll be able to correct the typo (Janiero → Janeiro) on the name of the most appropriate file.

Kept: no valid reason for deletion, per discussion. @RodRabelo7: you could nominate both files for renaming, one with state, the other with city in the name for instance. No action required at this Deletion Request. --Ellywa (talk) 17:39, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
