Putting this here not really as a deletion discussion, but as a what-to-do-with-this discussion. It's been tagged as OR and for want of sources for a year now (I expect some synthesis stuff in there too), has a really vague inclusion criterion, and I don't really see a viable path to improvement short of splitting this into multiple lists with stricter inclusion criteria, which is basically WP:TNT.

  • Delete I was also considering tagging this article for deletion when I came across it but decided against it after knowing there was an article for national flag proposals. But now I'm thinking that maybe List of national flag proposals should be nominated for deletion too on the basis that anyone can propose a flag and that "well-documented" is very ambiguous term for describing something. I'm aware that dynamic lists exist, but this seems like an overly-dynamic list, in which some proposals are going to discovered and added while some may be removed on the basis that the proposal is not notable enough. Seems like a good article idea on paper, but in my opinion, there really isn't a proper way to execute it. Waddles 🗩 🖉 02:37, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
