Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of pictures or information nor a directory, this page posing as an article is basically a set of pictures of flags with squares on them; a similar gallery of flags with stars on them was deleted a while ago: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gallery of flags with stars and this seems little more than same stuff, different shape....

- Delete Seems like WP:IINFO. And there are some very peculiar concepts of "square" in there! :) Warrah (talk) 23:41, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete indiscriminate. i can see a list of state/national flags which are square, as that is rare and notable. i dont see the need for an article which showcases flags with square motifs, as a square doesnt seem to have much notability as a symbol in flags, unlike, say, a star. combining the two into one article, is, of course, search engine-like inclusiveness.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 17:58, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete not needed - Gallery of flags by design is probably all that is required (which also links to commons cats to show further flags), note other galleries also exist like Gallery of flags with triangles which are probably not needed either. 23:45, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
