[edit]

No such flag, not used, commons is no private media repository Willi P (talk) 01:32, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I had replaced it with a black and white version of the regular national flag (which is existed). SpinnerLaserzthe2nd (talk) 02:08, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

 Keep This flag really existed and/or mentioned in the sources. SpinnerLaserzthe2nd (talk) 12:10, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
 Delete Neither of these sources prove the existence and neither of them actually show the actual design. Willi P (talk) 13:19, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment https://www.blick.ch/fr/news/suisse/mathilde-marendaz-deputee-vaudoise-la-police-ne-doit-pas-porter-ce-symbole-associe-a-lextreme-droite-raciste-aux-etats-unis-id18671771.html (This source shows that the actual flag is used. A French Wikipedia user was aware that this flag was actually used.) SpinnerLaserzthe2nd (talk) 13:44, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
„A French Wikipedia user was aware“: are you kidding?
The depicted item in this article is a badge, not a flag. So the article only proves that a random right-wing extremist wore a badge with a certain design. It is not identical with the file you uploaded. Willi P (talk) 20:09, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This is the French Wikipedia user I am talking about: https://fr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Thin_Blue_Line_(embl%C3%A8me)&diff=prev&oldid=205202444
I am pinging @ARK: because he might be aware of the news about the badge that has elements of the Swiss flag. In fact, he might be aware that this flag existed. SpinnerLaserzthe2nd (talk) 20:52, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
A simple web search on "Thin Blue Line" Switzerland should put it beyond any doubt that the Thin Blue Line symbol is being used in conjunction with the Swiss federal cross, and that the country's news media are reporting on a number of issues relating to its use. The emblem's primary manifestation is a wearable textile or rubber badge rather than a flag. Some of the news coverage refers to the device as a "logo" rather than a flag, but the flag exists as well and has been found displayed at police facilities.

Even Espandero might be aware that the flag exist as well since he is also a Swiss. SpinnerLaserzthe2nd (talk) 16:37, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Kept: no valid reason for deletion. —holly {chat} 21:29, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
