 * I don't get why adding flag icons in front of referees' names is considered not constructive given that it is common practice for articles on FIBA tournaments to include the 3 letter code of the country each referee is from and the South America 2022 FIBA u-18 women's americas championship article had same the flag icon format as I did.

 * I meant flag decorations not flag icons. JohnMannon (talk) 22:36, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Per WP:FLAG, flags used for a purely decorative reason are not allowed. In this case flags are not necessary. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 04:08, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
 * It's not decorative though. The FIBA overview pages on the boxscores have the referees' nationality listed along with their names and it has been common practice to list the 3 letter code of the referee's home countries along with their names. JohnMannon (talk) 14:28, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Adding the flags is decorative. Adding in the three digit NOC code is not. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 14:42, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
 * ok can we add the noc codes back again JohnMannon (talk) 14:45, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes that is perfectly fine. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 15:04, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
 * What's the difference? Both communicate the same information and it'll be easier to understand as more people know the flags than the 3 letter codes. JohnMannon (talk) 15:22, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
