Disk or no disk

Permjak, you need to provide your sources and gain consensus here on the talk page for your revision which so far is not sourced and is contradictory. Please do so, and not continue to revert the page. Fry1989 ^eh? 19:31, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

Yes although 10 years given to article. Where your sources that on flag of no white disk.Permjak (talk) 22:59, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

There is plenty of photographic evidence that the disk is no longer a requirement. Do you have a definitive law source to the contrary? The website is insufficient. Fry1989 ^eh? 00:39, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

You have not brought nor one source, only your cogitations.Permjak (talk) 07:19, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

I could say the same thing about you, but that's besides the point. FOTW has an interesting interpretation of the situation, suggesting that the disk is used on land but excluded at sea. It is not so simple however. In fact, the British Government does not appear to entirely agree with that interpretation, because when they decided that the flags of the overseas territories are to fly in London during State events, we can see the Cayman Islands flag with no disk. There needs to be clarity of what the facts are, before you change what has been the accepted fact for 6 years. Fry1989 ^eh? 07:40, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

Whose opinion has a greater priority - british or Cayman Islands?Permjak (talk) 22:39, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

You forget, the Cayman Islands are British. Fry1989 ^eh? 01:23, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

• Support the 2020 merge to List of Cayman Islands flags to here as both are short and overlap. Klbrain (talk) 14:17, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
• Support the merge as well Shayvory (talk) 02:30, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
• Oppose – the flag of every BOT has its own standalone article – this should be no different. There are enough independent secondary sources to establish notability for this particular flag.[1][2][3] —Bloom6132 (talk) 07:11, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

I'll qualify my response in saying that if this is to be merged, the Flag of the Cayman Islands article should remain while the list should be merged into it. —Bloom6132 (talk) 09:40, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

Support – ignore what I said above. Just looked over the templates in both articles and it became clear that the list would be merged into this article. —Bloom6132 (talk) 12:48, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

5x expanded by Bloom6132 (talk). Self-nominated at 02:50, 23 May 2021 (UTC).

• Always love to see a BOT flag, it's almost guarunteed a spot on WP:DYKSTATS. Reminds I was planning on doing Montserrat's expansion (I assume you have no objection to me nominating that one @Bloom6132:?) Nevertheless, here's the review: Date and expansion good. All 3 hooks look good though my preference is for ALT2. QPQ is done and no close paraphrasing. Picture licence is fine. However, just one tiny thing holding it up and that's the merge tag on it but looking at the discussion, it seems to me to be a clear SNOW close in favour of merging. Once that's removed it can be promoted (or would you like me to do it as a NAC?). Please ping me with your response. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 12:56, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

• @The C of E: Thanks for the review! Feel free to do an NAC – this newly-expanded article covers pretty much everything in List of Cayman Islands flags (other than the old Red Ensign design, which seemed minor enough for me to leave out). —Bloom6132 (talk) 20:19, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

• Good to go then. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 20:27, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

• Note to promoter – please use as picture hook for July 6 (UTC) if July 5 picture slot is taken by Coat of arms of the British Virgin Islands. —Bloom6132 (talk) 00:55, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
• Per WT:DYK, this should be promoted as a regular hook on July 5 (there is a slot being saved for it in Prep 3); Coat of arms of the British Virgin Islands is being given the July 5 picture slot. I have struck the previous request. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:37, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
