Does not qualify for a WP:SPLIT; the imag being on Gdańsk is enough, surely. – Meena • 18:15, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

keep/merge The German and French articles both have essentially the same text which fleshes out the history of the banner. My reading of both these articles is that they rather go on about what really ought to be a short section in the Gdansk article, but either way this is obviously not a candidate for deletion.

Keep: There's a lot of available info on the flag that can improve the article and get it to be separate enough from Gdańsk. Combining info from different languages and independently-found reliable sources can bring this to at least some decency. Luxtay the IInd (^{talketh to me}) 18:14, 6 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – I have added information and will continue to do so. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 03:24, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Very easily passes WP:GNG and there's certainly enough content there that it doesn't warrant being merged into Gdańsk itself. The version at the time it was nominated for deletion is a far cry from what it is now, and a good example of the fact that sometimes articles can and should be improved rather than deleted, if that is at all an option. PCN02WPS did a wonderful job with working on and expanding/improving the article. - Aoidh (talk) 10:24, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - considering that this was the country-level flag for a period, I'd say it's an easy pass. --Soman (talk) 19:42, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
