Nazi symbol. 84.61.181.19 18:38, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
- It's actually a neo-Nazi symbol at best, and in any case, that's not a valid reason for deletion -- we have plenty of Nazi symbols here on commons, starting with File:Flag of German Reich (1935–1945).svg... AnonMoos (talk) 18:55, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

Keep. Nazis didn't do LSD and then make new versions of their symbol.--Canoe1967 (talk) 00:18, 23 May 2012 (UTC)- Category:Greek key. It seems to been around for a few centuries.--Canoe1967 (talk) 00:23, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
- Keep In wide use. "Nazi symbol" is also not a reason for deletion. Carl Lindberg (talk) 17:55, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
- I'm not an expert on symbols, let alone neo-nazi symbols, but are we sure that the one on the flag within the public domain? Sven Manguard Wha? 03:50, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
- It almost certainly would not be copyrightable under the laws of the United States (have no idea about the laws of Greece)... AnonMoos (talk) 20:26, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
- The original was created from scratch under a free licence. See Category:Greek key. It has been around for many centuries. Country of origin is Greece on most of those, but the free work from scratch can be considered as 'parallel' creation to any that may have copyrights in Greece. I doubt that anyone can copyright a black and red circle in Greece and if they can commons should just ignore that for any circles we make from scratch and upload here.--Canoe1967 (talk) 21:12, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks, didn't know what a greek key was. In that case, Keep. Sven Manguard Wha? 00:17, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

- Keep Since when is even an actual nazi symbol cause for deletion? I wasn't aware of any policy against hosting such symbols, and I don't see deletion requests for the multitude of files in flags of Nazi Germany. Mnmazur (talk)
- Keep Keep : It is a legal symbol for the Party in Greece. So why would we delete it on a encyclopedia website like this?
- Keep Keep : "Nazi symbol"? So is Commons supposed to pretend that the Nazi's didnt exist? Have their symbols been declared illegal? This isn't even a Nazi symbol (though yes, it is obviously derived from the the Swastika, a symbol that has existed for several millennia before the birth of Adolf Hitler), it is the symbol of an established Greek political party. Foolish reasoning for deletion. Ferdiaob (talk) 18:09, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
- Keep "Reason for deletion: Nazi symbol". WHAT?????????? LOL! Yes of course it is a nazi symbol: It is the official flag of the neo-nazi greek party Gold Dawn and it illustrates its page. Black Hole GR (talk) 19:09, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
Kept: Per discussion. MBisanz talk 00:28, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
