Comment: WP:OR and fails WP:NLIST. Needs to cite and source secondary sources who group these flags specifically. Sources are needed to justify these groups of flags without original research. EmeraldRange (talk/contribs) 14:21, 22 March 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: Also, not entirely convinced this is something even appropriate for a mainspace article. ~Liancetalk 22:37, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
