Zimbabwe or Rhodesia?[edit]

Shouldn't this article be titled "Flags of Zimbabwe"?

  • No as these are Rhodesian flags not Zimbabwean flagsMangwanani 16:06, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.

Merge[edit]

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
The result of this discussion was No Consensus. The main problem here is the proposal fails to identify a destination article. To answer Cliftonian's objection, the articles could easily be merged to "List of Rhodesian and Zimbabwean flags". I don't feel comfortable putting forth a renewed merge proposal, but if anyone else wishes to do so, drop me a line on my talk page and I'll be happy to contribute to the discussion.

A definite scarcity of enthusiasm for discussion on this or the above topics.... I support the proposal as; a) there need not be two articles about the flags of a country and in fact why not combine flags of Rhodesia and flags of Zimbabwe? and; b) the choice of 1896 as a starting point is a poor one as it marks no boundary in administration or territory delineation and the BSAC flag was in use in the territory from 1890 anyway. --Sinazita (talk) 08:34, 28 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Strong support: These two should have merged a long time ago. Charles Essie (talk) 23:16, 31 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose, I think it's convenient to have separate pages for the pre-1980 and post-1980 flags, and of course describing a flag as "Zimbabwean" in a pre-1980 context is not really correct, but I'm happy to go along with consensus. Cliftonian (talk) 07:02, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
