- Keep. Not all useful things on Wikipedia should be deleted, and not all galleries are bad. For example, Gallery of sovereign-state flags is good.
It is even touted at Wikipedia:Gallery as an example of a good gallery (although that did not keep nominator for also nominating that gallery for deletion).That gallery is indeed extremely useful as a navigational aid. Assisting navigation is one of the stated purposes of lists, and galleries can also serve that purpose, in particular for items whose primary representation is visual. As it is, for many people the primary representation of the topic of this gallery is also visual, and it serves a navigational purpose. --Lambiam 23:09, 7 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. No legitimate basis of deletion given. This is obviously a list in the sense of WP:LIST, not a mere gallery in the sense of WP:NOTGALLERY. Sławomir Biały (talk) 12:34, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Speedy Keep For the same reasons that have been given for all of these articles the nominator has AFD'd with the same incorrect rationale. WP:NOTGALLERY is not violated and the subject matter is notable - flags of a country failing general notability guidelines? Eh? ŞůṜīΣĻ¹98¹Speak 09:02, 12 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep It is encyclopaedic and independently verifible. It would be perverse to list the flags and now show them. I don't know what Stuartyeates is saying - using wikipedia shorthand is not useful to anyone but a small elite, and should be avoided accordingly. This article is exactly what wikipedia should be about.Rhyddfrydol (talk) 23:08, 12 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
