I think it's a good idea to add the flags of bantustans to this article

Any objections?? Damërung ^{...ÏìíÏ...}_{_ΞΞΞ_} . -- 13:58, 17 June 2007 (UTC-5)

Since 1994, the "bantustans" have no significance. If there is a case for providing flags of sub-national regions, these should be provided for all African countries, not just South Africa, and they should be of current provincial entities, not those which have been disbanded. The page does not list other redundant flags. Kevin McE 17:36, 15 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I see that this conversation took place a few years ago, but having just looked at this page now, I was very surprised to see the flags of Bantustans. These were not recognized as countries by the vast majority of the world even during apartheid, and they have indisputably not been national flags since 1994. I suggest removing them. Any objections?

Having received no objections to my comments nine and a half months ago, I am inclined to delete the Bantustan flags. But as it's been a while since I raised the point and I recognize that others may have concerns, for now I've moved them to the "former states" category. I feel that this is still problematic, as they were never recognized as states by any government outside of South Africa. Please share comments on this edit or the full removal of these flags from this page. Mgllama (talk) 19:20, 4 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why not a section for the former flags of Africa? Such as the Republic of Maryland? 4.255.55.13 (talk) 17:54, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Since Africa as a continent is missing a flag, I think people should design one for any use whatsoever. There are already some proposed flags, some of which appear on wikicommons. I think this may attract people to "participate" on this "contest" to create a flag for Africa. This designs should be copyright free, and should have include no obscenity at all. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Remi1771 (talk • contribs) 23:28, 12 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that

However, if you really feel non-free use is justified, then the best place to discuss that would probably be

public domain depending on a variety of different factors, and editors who regularly participate in FFD tend to be most familiar with the peculiarities of the different types of file licenses. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:03, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply

Hello, the header says intercontinental organizations like the United Nations are omitted, but it includes other Intercontinental organizations like the OPEC or the Arab League. For consistency I'd propose to remove all the intercontinental orgs. Best regards. — J. F. B. (me´n parlar) 09:14, 24 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
