File:Flag of Švenčionys.jpg

The only place where I can find it is here (https://www.fotw.info/flags/lt-vlsvv.html) and here (https://media.lrytas.lt/images/2023/01/07/184601195-f93fb2a0-47c2-4ebc-a5cd-9b7236fe52cc.jpg). Lack of verifiability; might be a hoax. Especially the first link is a self published source. Shadow of the Starlit Sky (talk) 22:07, 25 May 2023 (UTC)

Courtesy ping @TresForBe and @Cukrakalnis who have discussed about this file on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:%C5%A0ven%C4%8Dionys_District_Municipality#Hoax? Shadow of the Starlit Sky (talk) 22:08, 25 May 2023 (UTC)

 Delete for reasons of prudence, I would say it is best to restrict ourselves to that which is verifiable with good sources, not self-published websites or pictures where the flag is not even clearly visible. Cukrakalnis (talk) 13:32, 30 May 2023 (UTC)

 I withdraw my nomination due to additional sources being found where the flag is visible (courtesy ping @Mindaur as they found the pictures) - [1] [2]. The former link is from the official website of the Svencionys district municipality, and thus it shows the flag isn't a hoax after all. Shadow of the Starlit Sky (talk) 01:45, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
