Coptic flag
AfDs for this article:


 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

this article violates many policies and guidelines of wikipedia:
 * per WP:FRINGE, this flag created by a small group and they claim it is "Coptic flag" want to make it a fact and real flag but it isn't, in the article (It is not recognized by the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria, and it is not recognized by any official Coptic organization), So this flag according to whom? there is no evidence that Coptic groups in Egypt or any churchs are using or recognized it, New Zealand Coptic Association and the Free Copts (who created the flag) just a small private associations and not represent Copts at any official level, also this is not standard to make it a flag for whole Coptic.
 * per WP:Notabilty, this hypothetical flag created in 2005 and after 17 years there is no notabilty, no reliable sources nor significant coverage, only links from those who claim that, all links in first nomination are dead or not exist.
 * per WP:VERIFY, the majority of the article are personal opinions or claims without any refs.

finally: WP:SOAPBOX Wikipedia is not a soapbox or means of promotion, and this article try to promote something is not fact or real. Ibrahim.ID ✪ 07:23, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

tip: please read WP:ATA, we want a "substantive discussion". --Ibrahim.ID ✪ 09:10, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. This flag concept is old enough to drive but still non-notable. Much of the article reads like one of those alt history wikis. ~ Pbritti (talk) 14:09, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment -- I would like to know who created the flag and who accepts or uses it. The previous AFD resulted in "keep" though some of the later editors opposed this.  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:58, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment. References 1 and 3 lead to "Page not found" errors. Reference 2 leads somewhere completely irrelevant. Athel cb (talk) 12:41, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
