Draft:List of Syrian flags

  • Comment: Kindly improve and add into Flag of Syria ratehr than submitting the draft again and again when reviewers turn it down for the same reason. Thanks. The Herald (Benison) (talk) 07:04, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: There is nothing here that cannot be merged into the mainspace article. DrowssapSMM 12:57, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment: Please do not immediately resubmit without modification after the page was declined. This spams the Articles for Creation backlog and will not improve the chances of the page being approved.
    The problem with this page is that it is not sufficiently different from Flag of Syria, which already contains nearly all of the flags listed in this page with additional prose that better explains the flags than a simple list article can. I am only declining (rather than rejecting, which would mean that the topic is unsuitable / the option to resubmit would be removed) because I do believe it is possible for this subject to exist on its own, as "List of <x> flags" articles are common on the encyclopedia, but I suggest adding sources to all currently unsourced flags before resubmitting. If the only real difference between this page and Flag of Syria is that this contains additional unsourced material, this page would not serve a purpose.
    Again, please make substantive changes before immediately resubmitting again, as that is disruptive and can result in your editing permissions being restricted if it continues. Don't let this discourage you, there is potential for a real article here, but this page is not ready yet.  Vanilla  Wizard 💙 00:55, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment: 80% of the article is just a duplication of Flag of Syria article. I suggest just adding missing information to that article. F.Alexsandr (talk) 10:58, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
