Category:Vehicles with flags
Tuvalkin has suggested a merge with Category:Flags on vehicles Themightyquill (talk) 13:35, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
- Merge in which direction? Compare also Category:Vehicles carrying flags of United Kingdom, Category:Vehicles with flags of the United Kingdom. Should a distinction be made between flags painted on the body of a vehicle and vehicles carrying flags? Maybe that's what User:Pava intended. I would merge to Category:Vehicles with flags, because it's the most neutral formulation, including both cases. Cleanup within Category:Vehicles with flags, possibly creating Category:Vehicles with flags by country would be the next logical step. --rimshottalk 09:28, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
- Looks complicated, therefore it must be simple. We need more engagement. I made some changes to Category:Vehicles with flags, in order to separate "vehicles" and "countries". I think it looks better. Let's continue. --E4024 (talk) 07:10, 25 August 2017 (UTC)
- I just added a pic of a <flag of Turkey "on" an automobile> at the Category:Flags on automobiles. Now there are two pics of cars with flags of Turkey there and I can realize the issue better: One is a "real" flag, and the other is a "painting" on the vehicle... --E4024 (talk) 09:20, 13 October 2017 (UTC)
- That actually makes a lot of sense. One with "cloth" flags, one with flag decals or paint. I'd support this over a merger. - Themightyquill (talk) 06:59, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
- surprisingly Category:Automobile painting is severely under-populated. car body painting/deco is such a key element of modern, everyday artistic life.
- following Category:Paintings by subject, parts of cats concerned in this discussion can be put under Category:Paintings of flags. RZuo (talk) 12:14, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
- and when will commons finally move automobiles to cars? so that these ridiculous names Category:Automobile stickers Category:Automobile painting can rest in peace. RZuo (talk) 12:27, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
- RZuo You're welcome to bring it up at Commons:Village pump but based on Commons:Categories for discussion/2018/07/Category:Automobiles and Commons:Categories for discussion/2016/02/Category:Valued images of cars, you're in for a fight, and even if you win, you're in for a lot of work to move everything and adjust all the templates. Personally, I don't care. -- Themightyquill (talk) 16:46, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

Oppose As far as I can see flags on vehicles should be a subcategory of Vehicles with flags where the latter also includes for example people holding flags on vehicles where flags on vehicles are printed on the vehicles. Prototyperspective (talk) 22:23, 9 March 2026 (UTC)
