Arvanite flag
Blatant POV-pushing bordering on vandalism, a spillover from a long-standing past edit conflict over Arvanites. This Albanian nationalist POV-pusher tries to present the Albanian flag as a flag used by Arvanites, the Albanophone but hellenized minority group in Greece. This is a blatant falsehood; Arvanites don't use this flag. In fact, during all the edit conflict of the last months, it was native Arvanites who consistently edit-warred against any link between their group and Albania. The same user has also created an article about an alleged Arvanite political party, the Arvanite Alliance ("founded in February 2006", cf. AfD nomination below); made disruptive unexplained reverts to Arvanites, and tried to create a POV fork of Arvanites under Arvanit. Lukas (T. 11:45, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. The poster has not provided a shread of evidence to suggest that this flag is used by the people he claims. In fact, he deliberately misleads by providing a link to the website of the Greek Arvanite Union, suggesting that he sourced it there. There is no such flag on that website. --Damac 12:32, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Forgot to actually vote delete as nominator. Oh, and thanks to Damac for noticing the lie about the image source, which I've also tagged now. Lukas (T. 12:49, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
 * You don't need to "vote" as nominator, for two reasons: a) if your nomination is worthwhile, it's more valuable than half a dozen "votes"; b) AfD is not a vote, and the tally doesn't matter. HTH, HAND. fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 13:02, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
