The Confederation of the Rhine did not have any flag [1]! This image is completely fictional! And used in hundreds of articles! Delete it as fast as possible! Antemister (talk) 16:50, 18 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I really don't see the lack of it being on FOTW as solid proof it doesn't exist. The website doesn't have everything. Fry1989 eh? 17:09, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Do you know another source? FOTW is, in any case, the most complete one..--Antemister (talk) 12:18, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I have uploaded a lot of flags that aren't on FOTW but are sourced and proven elsewhere. Omission is not proof of this being a hoax. Fry1989 eh? 18:27, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No consensus to delete. Also, the file is used in many projects. We should replace the usages first before deleting -FASTILY 02:30, 18 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

1. The Confederation of the Rhine never had a flag, its member states used their own flags.
2. This flag already exists at File:Alleged flag of the Rhine Confederation 1806-13.svg and has existed for many years with the appropriate documentation stating that the flag may be fictitious. There is consequently no need to have an almost exact copy of the original file here. Any usage of this file could be redirected to the original file so that no links are broken.

Note: Original uploader Эрманарих has also received numerous copyright and deletion notifications for other images that he has posted (all of which have been deleted in the past). Nick Mitchell 98 (talk) 08:02, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted per above. --Alan (talk) 12:33, 7 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
