Out of COM:SCOPE, unused self-created work. Plus misleading claim "Flag of the State of Russia". -- Túrelio (talk) 15:57, 11 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oh nonsense :), the Commons are packed with myriad fictional flags of all sorts. This is a fictional flag for the HoI universe.. imo that's an overly-rigorous application of policy manifestly not in-line with general practice: have a look at all this stuff, for just one example. Or look at this collection here. Or this entire category created for fictional flags of equal value [1], I could go on. Literally just go down the list of files in the Special or fictional flags cat.
This particular image is only a slight modification of File:Flag of Russian Fascist Party.svg, which I intended to point out in the description (the image was only just uploaded).
P.s. I want to make it clear for the record that I in no way espouse nor wish to promote the ideology expressed in the image, nor any ideologies espoused by the 1931-43 'Russian Fascist Party' (quite the opposite, in fact). Nor am I myself Russian, for that matter.. JimDyne (talk) 16:38, 11 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment This is a real flag, it was used by the Russian Fascist Party. However, as we have a file with the proper name, I see no reason to keep this one. Fry1989 eh? 18:15, 11 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
This file has the symbol a bit larger, off-center, with the colours changed slightly. JimDyne (talk) 20:06, 15 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted: per Fry1989 - we already have a properly named version. INeverCry 20:44, 18 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
