RfC: Redirect target[edit]

What should be the target of this redirect?

Survey[edit]

  • Because of how it is recognized internationally and in the United Nations, and even, to an extent, inside many offices in Kabul, Afghanistan itself (e.g. the Afghanistan Cricket Board, which uses the tricolor flag as the primary country flag), I prefer to redirect it to File:Flag of Afghanistan (2013–2021).svg.

  • Reflecting the situation in the country, File:Flag of the Taliban.svg. WittyWidi (talk) 17:44, 9 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • File:Flag of the Taliban.svg as many Wikipedias, including the English Wikipedia, have moved on. ― Tartan357 Talk 08:05, 12 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    Fyi, if no man opposes, then I will also do such a replace on some copyright tags about Afghanistan, e.g. {{PD-Afghanistan}}. Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 04:57, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    Something difficult to decide, @廣九直通車: provided an against reason by special:diff/582397194. --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 05:03, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I select File:Flag of the Taliban.svg, as reflect to the current government entity. --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 09:18, 13 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    I select File:Flag of the Taliban.svg, to reflect the government entity as well. Noorullah21 (talk) 15:26, 13 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • I also select File:Flag of the Taliban.svg, File:Flag of Afghanistan (2013–2021).svg because that's the only thing it truly is. It's as much of the Flag of Afghanistan as the Swastika is the Flag of Germany, I;d also like to point out that the legitimate tricolor flag has been the official flag of Afghanistan even before the communists took over, let alone the Taliban. ----DanTD (talk) 21:08, 25 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      @DanTD This is not a discussion about what the name of that file should be. It is a discussion about what the target of the redirect File:Flag of Afghanistan.svg should be. ― Tartan357 Talk 03:32, 29 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Tartan357, Need I remind you that the Taliban was in Pakistan before it was in Afghanistan? If they were to take over Pakistan in its entirety as well, I don't think we should change the Flag of Pakistan to the Flag of the Taliban either. ----DanTD (talk) 04:26, 29 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
If they take over Pakistan in its entirety and change the flag, then yes, we should acknowledge that instead of trying to perpetuate some kind of alternate reality/safe space. The fact is the flag is in use by the current government. It's what you will see flying from government buildings across the country. You have not presented a credible concern, only silly analogies and hypotheticals which aren't even correct (the swastika was featured on the flag of Germany for 10 years, see Nazi Germany). That you find it offensive is irrelevant. For most practical purposes, the Taliban flag is the flag of Afghanistan. This redirect should point there as a matter of convenience for use on other projects, such as Wikipedia, which is mainly using the new flag. A redirect is not a political statement. ― Tartan357 Talk 06:15, 30 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I select File:Flag of Afghanistan (2013–2021).svg to reflect the country. For the government entity, we should create a redirect under the lines of "Government flag of Afghanistan" to Flag of the Taliban.svg. --Soumya-8974 (he) (talk • contribs) 07:11, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
