not a true SVG, svg that is not more than a raster file is useless Antemister (talk) 13:18, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
Keep I would hardly call it useless for not being SVG. Fry1989 eh? 17:23, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
- As a PNG exists, we do not need the same file with an *.svg, as long it is also only a raster image.--Antemister (talk) 17:49, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
- I created this file. File formats are not among my areas of expertise. I wanted to display this flag in a userbox using Template:Uir on English Wikipedia. The template looks for a *.svg file by default, but that can be overridden. When I saw the *.png file in the Commons, it had a tag asking to help Wikimedia by uploading a *.svg version. I searched online and found a conversion tool and used it to create this file from a public domain *.png version. I thought I was helping. It would have been much easier to override the file used in my template. Now, it seems my help has only created a controversy. I really have no idea what makes this or anything else a true *.svg file. As the person who created the file and as one truly out of his element with respect to this issue, I think it is best that I not vote to keep or delete. But I do think the decision ought to be based on a few things unknown to me: 1) Is the quality of this file better than the *.png that exists? 2) Would keeping this file cause a true *.svg version to never be uploaded, because it will not be obvious that one is needed? Conversely, can this file be marked as not a true *.svg in a manner similar to the way the *.png I found was marked to let those who really know what they are doing that help is needed in creating a true *.svg? 3) Would it be more constructive for someone who knows what they're doing to just create a true *.svg and replace this apparently flawed one rather than discuss the merits of keeping the one that's there now?
