  • Delete. Contains only one flag. 66.32.144.73 03:06, 15 May 2004 (UTC)
  • Added another. Vote to keep, there is a group of flag pages on wiki, but one has to accept that, due to the nature of flags, this will probably never be a long list. Rhymeless 04:34, 15 May 2004 (UTC)
  • I think it's a useless list, but if we're going to delete it, everything else on List of Lists of Flags need to go at the same time. -- Cyrius|&#9998 05:09, May 15, 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. If a list is encyclopedic, it shouldn't be deleted just because it's short. -- Jao 09:32, 15 May 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Shortness of a list shouldn't be a reason for acceptance, specially not if it fits along other lists. (As a kid, I did wonder how many countries would have a single colour flag). Abigail 11:43, May 15, 2004 (UTC)
    • My older brother always said that's what happened when you hired non-union flag designers. Rhymeless 05:02, 16 May 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Alcarillo 18:42, 15 May 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. ditto Cyrius' remarks: it's no more or less useless than any of the other lists. Feedle 08:34, 16 May 2004 (UTC)

Interesting. Keep--Beelzebubs 03:20, 16 May 2004 (UTC)

  • Keep. See Cyrius' comment about the List of Lists Of Flags page. DO'Neil 09:02, 16 May 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep, in present form it's a decent little nugget of trivia, does no particular harm, "Wikipedia is not paper." Dpbsmith 22:26, 16 May 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Interesting. Fredrik 09:45, 17 May 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep, why is it that some people here insist on deleting everything by instead of improving it, only after i had been doing some housework here by merging the whole flag-mess to List of flags by number of colors and List of flags by color did i notice this page when fixing the redirect. Please IMPROVE pages that lack instead of listing them on VFD, in the future. VFD is for pages that do not belong, not pages that could be better and/or merged. --Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 17:23, 2004 May 17 (UTC)
  • Keep. -- pne 14:17, 19 May 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. -- Pedro 13:45, 20 May 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. I agree with Abigail and Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 's comments -- Cabalamat 19:00, 20 May 2004 (UTC)
