Fictional flags. Not clear that these have any potential educational value per COM:SCOPE. Not clear to what extent, if any, these have a basis in reality.

• File:Naval flag of the Houthis (fictional).svg
• File:Flag of the Houthis (fictional).svg

• I think that it's clear that these have no basis in reality, no educational use, and should be deleted. - Jmabel ! talk 16:00, 9 February 2019 (UTC)
• Delete: These flags aren't true and were created to promote a POV, nothing "educational" about it. It is a propaganda!. The user is also trying to create a flag that he called "the flag of Houthi leaders" [1]. he is trying to make the faces of the Houthi movement leaders in it to link it to North Korean leaders flag as he put it in the source. I don't know if I should wait until he do that or not but it is obvious that these flags are made up propaganda.--شرعب السلام (talk) 16:20, 9 February 2019 (UTC)

•  Keep In my defense, I marked them as fictional with a template as they are fictional and for satirical purposes only.  Delete I decided that they are nothing but useless flags. RainbowSilver2ndBackup (talk) 18:52, 9 February 2019 (UTC)

• The problem is, what is the potential educational use for fictional satirical flags? GMG^talk 19:52, 9 February 2019 (UTC)

I'm going to quote @Bjh21: : "Controversial", "offensive", and even "biased" are not reasons for deletion. Commons is not censored and defers issues of bias to other projects. On the other hand, entirely fictional flags are very unlikely to be useful for an educational purpose, whether offensive or not, and that means they can be deleted."

...Is this an argument against deletion? GMG^talk 22:33, 9 February 2019 (UTC)

How do I cross out my comment? I think I changed my mind. I really don't need them anymore, these flags are just useless in terms of satire. RainbowSilver2ndBackup (talk) 23:04, 9 February 2019 (UTC)

@RainbowSilver2ndBackup: <s> before the text to be crossed out and </s> afterwards. --bjh21 (talk) 23:23, 9 February 2019 (UTC)

Okay thanks. RainbowSilver2ndBackup (talk) 00:50, 10 February 2019 (UTC)

•  Delete The author claims to have made the files "for satire". While satire may be valuable, I don't really think it's educational. --bjh21 (talk) 22:56, 9 February 2019 (UTC)
• The uploader has nominated this image File:Flag of Houthi leaders (satirical).svg for deletion and the link to the deletion discussion is to this page. I tried added it but some issues appeared. Thanks--شرعب السلام (talk) 13:32, 10 February 2019 (UTC)

• I've changed my mind about this file. It's going to be useless anyways. RainbowSilver2ndBackup (talk) 00:54, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
