Template talk:Country data Palestinian territories

Request concerning ISO change
Recently, the template:Country data Palestine was changed to reflect the upgrade of status for the State of Palestine (current ISO code "Palestine, State of" ), however this article "Country data Palestinian territories" was created in addition, instead of remaining a redirect. I must emphasize that currently there are 3 flag templates: "Country data Palestine" (State of Palestine), "Country data Palestinian Authority" and this newly created "Country data Palestinian territories".

One however must notice that in fact Palestinian territories is a mute term (can have several meanings). The actual implementation of "Palestinian territories, Occupied" (used by UN between 1999-2012, see ) in previous ISO designation was in order to refer to the Palestinian National Authority existing 1994-2012 (see explanation here). If one is referring by "Palestinian territories" to the pre-1993 Israeli-occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip, the use of PLO flag icon is of course unreasonable, as the flag was both illegal under Israeli law and unrecognized by UN/ISO.

I herewith request this "template:Country data Palestinian territories" template to redirect to template:Country data Palestinian Authority, as ISO designation "Palestinian territories, Occupied" was in fact used for Palestinian Authority between 1999 and 2012.Greyshark09 (talk) 20:20, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
