:::::If you say so, but I find it strange that policy you cite doesn't use the term in the same way you do. It says that Commons ''has'' a scope, and that the individual media files it hosts ''are'' or ''are not'' in that scope. —[[User:Psychonaut|Psychonaut]] ([[User talk:Psychonaut|talk]]) 08:30, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

:{{vk}} The image serves to illustrate [[:en:irredentist|irredentist]] claims over [[:en:Greater Syria|Greater Syria]] and is in scope on that basis. Such flag-maps are common nationalist propaganda—one sees them all the time on posters, lapel pins, etc. As hinted at above, there are dozens already on Wikipedia and/or Commons, many of which are in use to illustrate nationalist claims. See [[:Category:Irredentism]] and [[:Category:SVG maps incorporating flags - Irredentist]]. I suspect this nomination isn't really about scope but more about [[User:Fry1989]]'s ongoing dispute with the uploader. Fry1989 himself has uploaded many similar images such as [[:File:Flag map of Greater Romania.svg]] and [[:File:Flag map of Greater Italy.svg]]. —[[User:Psychonaut|Psychonaut]] ([[User talk:Psychonaut|talk]]) 08:30, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

::I was asked personally to make those two, and they have historical context where Italy and Romania actually controlled the lands shown in the map. These irredentist claimant maps are sketchy at best. '''[[User:Fry1989|Fry1989]]''' ^{'''[[User talk:Fry1989|eh?]]'''} 16:46, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
