Unused fictitious flag; not in COM:SCOPE as not realistically useful for an educational purpose. Keφr (keep talk here) 13:37, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
Keep Actually, hybrid flags (half of one country on one side and half of the other country on the other side) are generally considered within scope, since they have a number of legitimate uses, such as UK-Norway relations, Norwegians with UK connections, Britons with Norway connections, etc. This goes a little beyond the most basic (heraldically "dimidiated") hybrid format, but it's not really any stranger than File:English language - United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.svg etc...

Kept: Way in scope. Hedwig in Washington (mail?) 07:35, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

Out of COM:SCOPE user-generated flag; violation of COM:NOTHOST, COM:SELFIE, COM:EV. A realistic educational purpose is a policy requirement for all Commons files. All files with no such purpose must be deleted: "Wikimedia Commons is not your personal free web host". As a hybrid flag image representing Britain and Norway it is useless; reversing the colours on one half of a Union Jack does not mean "Norway" to anyone. GPinkerton (talk) 18:50, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
Delete Unused, and no evidence that it is useful for an educational purpose. DrKay (talk) 19:40, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
- Repeat what I said above: "hybrid flags (half of one country on one side and half of the other country on the other side) are generally considered within scope, since they have a number of legitimate uses, such as UK-Norway relations, Norwegians with UK connections, Britons with Norway connections, etc...."

- I would keep a proper hybrid like File:Lithuania and Norway hybrid.png or File:Flag of Lithuania and the United Kingdom.png but I don't have the right program to take the flag-halves from those files and splice them into a Norway-UK hybrid flag that could be used legitimately. User:NikNaks did create a en:Template:Hybrid flag for use on en-wiki, but we would need the triangular flags created. Alternatively someone else at Wikipedia:Graphics Lab/Illustration workshop may be willing to create one. DrKay (talk) 20:05, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
- Seconded. Messing about with the colours of one flag does not a hybrid flag make. It could easily be replaced with a suitable hybrid image if required, but this file is unused so such a need is at present hypothetical. GPinkerton (talk) 20:23, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
I'm not too sure why your particular personal opinions as to what is and what is not a valid hybrid flag should carry any great weight. AnonMoos (talk) 03:17, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
- Neither I yours. Of course, it's more than obvious that no-one agrees with you about its usefulness, or else the file would be in use. GPinkerton (talk) 12:00, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
