German Fatherland Flag → ? – I'm not seeing the name "Fatherland Flag" in any of the article's references, and I couldn't find any reliable sources using the term in a brief internet search. Unless some evidence is presented that this is indeed the flag's common name, the article should be moved to "" or "" or similar. BegbertBiggs (talk) 22:16, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Support this is just a copy paste of Flag_of_Germany and this article should point there. It could also be renamed 'Flag of the North German Confederation' or 'Flag of the German Empire'—blindlynx (talk) 15:39, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Doesn't seem like a direct copy-paste to me but I agree that it could just be merged back into Flag of Germany. BegbertBiggs (talk) 16:27, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

I suggest the article be renamed to The Realm Flag, when we make a germen translation of this article we can change the word Realm to its germen translation. which I think means Reich in germen. Zyxrq (talk) 22:28, 24 November 2021 (UTC) sounds like a good compromise. I support that change.--Zyxrq (talk) 02:15, 26 November 2021 (UTC) The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it.

 * "Realm Flag" surely isn't the common name either. That said, the loanword could be another possible move target. BegbertBiggs (talk) 11:42, 25 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Support "" or "", with a preference for the first as the article on this state is titled German Empire. Oppose all other suggestions as I'm pretty sure they fail COMMONNAME and RECOGNIZABLE. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  10:24, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

Flag use in Western Germany, Cold War
We know during this time period it was used by the German Party (1947) and by the Deutsche Reichspartei. I have been having trouble finding sources for this time period which is the reason I haven't updated the article. If anyone could help that would be fantastic. Thank you.
