I am pretty sure this is not an official flag of Vorukh, and, actually, I think that this is nothing more than an invention of the uploader. There is no source to be found to proof the existence of this flag. In my interpretation this file is out of scope, but at the very least its file name and description are misleading. → «« Man77 »» [de] 15:47, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
Keep: This file is used by Wikipedias from ar:فوروخ to tg:Ворух. Under COM:NPOV, if it's used by other projects, Commons shouldn't delete it for inaccuracy. @Man77: you can still update the description, request renaming, and work on updating other projects. --bjh21 (talk) 14:59, 4 March 2020 (UTC)
- To be honest I do not think that anybody even considered the possibility that this flag might be pure fiction when using it somewhere. It was included in Wikidata by someone who is fascinated by adding data and little interested in checking them first. If you know any better way to get this discussed, I'll be happy to follow your recommendation. I cannot rule out this flag exists in the "real life" 100 % but I am pretty sure it does not. If it does not, we should not use it as such. If we do not know, we should look at the evidence we have – which I think is atrocious to be honest, but I do not think I should decide that on my own. But I do not know about a project wide fact checking place. I placed a question about this flag on the talk page of the town it is supposed to stand for at Tajik Wikipedia.
- If this file is kept only for the reason of being in use disregarding every other argument, then I guess I'll have to take quality control in my own hand, but I really hope for more opinions ad rem to come. → «« Man77 »» [de] 15:33, 4 March 2020 (UTC)
- Searching by google brings only Wikipedia hits for this flag. I would suggest to rename the file into "fantasy flag" or "flag proposal", as it is in use by Wikipedians. --JPF (talk) 16:21, 6 March 2020 (UTC)
- I managed to get this file out of use. If it must be kept for the reason of being correctly licensed and theoretically useful if someone needs a shape of an enclave displayed in green, blue and red, I'll be happy to move this file to File:Outline of Vorukh, weirdly colored.svg or similar. Unless all out of a sudden a proof is found that this indeed is the design of the flag used in Vorukh. → «« Man77 »» [de] 20:06, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
