This is not a real flag used by any organization or movement, and has no assertion of notability. The flag was designed and uploaded by a Wikipedian in 2012, and more power to him if he wants to start a Yiddish flag, but the encyclopedia is not the place for that.

- Delete I agree with all the preceding points. An article on the history of efforts to establish a Yiddish flag might be worthwhile but the present article doesn't even demonstrate that there have been any serious such initiatives. Harnessing the Wikipedia to bolster an individual attempt is clearly inappropriate. --Futhark|Talk 18:03, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- delete This definitely falls into the "something made up" department. The only book reference is metaphorical; on-line references talk about the 1908 story mentioned in the article which is about a parody flag having no real connection to the ostensible subject.

- Beyond the designer of the flag having photographed it in locations selected to suggest some form of further acceptance, what such evidence is there? --Futhark|Talk 08:17, 21 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
