User:Tonyjeff claims: "Symbol of private organization" --DieBuche (talk) 08:52, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
- FARC isn't a private organization, is a terrorist group. Besides the autor made it, --Rojasyesid (talk) 19:08, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
- There is a very similar debate about the hezbollah flag [here http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/File:Flag_of_Hezbollah.svg] : I guess the problem is pretty much the same. Except that the Hezbollah has legal existence in Lebanon and can be contacted to obtain permission, while FARC-EP is declared terrorist by the US, European Union, Colombia etc. and, as such, any credit given to them, payment etc. would probably be illegal in those countries. So it is impossible that the FARC-EP will sue the Wikimedia foundation, and so there is no reason to try to respect their copyright, is that correct ? FWIW, the same argument is used for conserving the AUC logo, which is also from an organisation recognized as terrorist by most contries : see here --Sylvain2803 (talk) 15:49, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

This file was initially tagged by Futuretrillionaire as Copyvio (copyvio) and the most recent rationale was: this flag of a terrorist organization (see link I added right below this tag fo a list of terror groups) is blocked property (counts as non-free) in the U.S. INeverCry 21:01, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
- The previous discussion failed to confront the issue that this is blocked property in America. The U.S. govt doesn't want us to use it at all. For more info, see this template: [1]. --Futuretrillionaire (talk) 21:15, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
