is not the flag for morocco is a fake 105.154.125.8 15:36, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

 Keep -- It's not the current official flag of Morocco, but it was what was shown in the 1924 Petite Larousse, and similar to certain historical Moroccan flags (e.g http://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/ma-rif.html ). There's no problem if it's clearly labeled as what it is... AnonMoos (talk) 15:53, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is an unreliable source, the Hexagram was never an official Moroccan flag, it was always a plain red flag. This is misleading. محمد٢ (talk) 22:01, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In English wiki article Flag of Morroco there are 3 sources: [1][2][3]. Tal (רונאלדיניו המלך, talk) 11:22, 3 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  1. (in English) (5 January 2016) Making Morocco: Colonial Intervention and the Politics of Identity, Cornell University Press, p. 81 ISBN: 978-1-5017-0425-3.
  2. (in English) (1967) The Land and People of Morocco, Black, p. 20 ISBN: 978-0-02-762430-4. "The latter, a six-pointed star of two interlaced triangles, is found in magic all over the world, and is actually used as the centre of the Moroccan national flag. There are many stories about the magic of Solomon recorded in the Koran."
  3. (in English) (1980) Morocco, Namara Publications, p. 91 ISBN: 978-0-7043-2224-0. "and the six-pointed star, the Seal of Solomon, a symbol used in ceremonial rites throughout the world and indeed the symbol of the Kingdom of Morocco itself, woven in green on a red background in the country's flag."
  • @محمد٢: Guy, what about providing correct(ing) information about incorrect/false information that was provided elsewhere/when? That’s what incorrect images such as this one are useful for. You’re welcome to {{Withdraw}} your nomination, or you can let it stand and further waste other people’s time with this. -- Tuválkin 10:28, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
This deletion nomination is actually invalid until and unless محمد٢ leaves a valid deletion nomination on my user talk page (currently he has only left incomprehensible broken templates). AnonMoos (talk) 21:39, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
STRONGLY OPPOSE deletion until and unless محمد٢ has the simple common courtesy to leaves a valid deletion nomination on my user talk page. AnonMoos (talk) 22:06, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep - Il existe déjà 4 (quatre) sources - dont une d'autorité - pour ce drapeau et aucune qui vienne le contredire avec au moins un seul argument valable. Rien. Alors, pourquoi vouloir anachroniquement supprimer cette image parce que le symbole représenté égratignerait la vue de certaines personnes au motif qu'il représenterait Israël ou le judaïsme aujourd'hui - mais pas hier ? C'est un fait, c'est du passé mais il a existé. - --Mylenos (talk) 11:30, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Le drapeau à l'étoile à six branches flotte sur la foire de Fès lors d'une visite du général Lyautey en octobre 1916.

Voici une nouvelle source/preuve qu'un contributeur vient d'apporter. Que faudrait-il de plus ? --Mylenos (talk) 13:54, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]


Kept: No reason for deletion of this image. According to the Deletion policy a supposedly incorrect, original researched or not-neutral image is not a reason for deletion. This aspect should be addressed on the projects. The image is currently in use on the projects, so it has to be maintained. --Ellywa (talk) 19:44, 30 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It's not the real flag of morocco. delete it and search for the real flag MedeV9 (talk) 09:18, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Speedy keep per previous DR's. I also added a link to the actual flag in the file description, so that people like MedeV9 don't get confused in the first place. --Enyavar (talk) 15:28, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm getting rather tired of people who are perturbed on discovering that Muslims have made use of six-pointed stars, and then blame others or try to rewrite history. There's a whole gallery at en:Hexagram#Islam. For my reasons to keep, see previous comments above. AnonMoos (talk) 23:22, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Kept: no valid reason for deletion. --MB-one (talk) 13:55, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
