This media file has been nominated for deletion since 8 May 2024. To discuss it, please visit the nomination page.
Do not remove this tag until the deletion nomination is closed. Reason for the nomination: This was included in a deletion request by User:PseudoSkull in 2023 but without adding the DR template to the file, and not addressed by the closing admin User:Ellywa who deleted the Syldavia flags. This case is different from the Syldavia flag, as this purported "Bordurian symbol" apparently wasn't designed by Hergé for the Tintin comics but is the uploader's own invention as "a possible Bordurian symbol based on the Nazi German Eagle", per the file's description. As I commented in the previous deletion discussion, I think that it is therefore misleading, not educationally useful and out of scope. This particular file is not in use in any Wikimedia project at the time of nomination. Unfortunately, there's also an SVG version File:Borduria-shield.svg which is in use in three projects and which we therefore, if we apply COM:INUSE strictly, can't delete. It's an example of the dangers of such inventions, however, if we look at en:El cetro de Ottokar and tr:Bordurya, where the symbol is unquestioningly used as if it were part of Hergé's work; as if it were appearing in King Ottokar's Sceptre, which it is not. The third use is in a German Wikinews article where it's used as an example of a "not Nazi, but Nazi-like symbol", so this seems like a legitimate use - maybe we could remove the file from the Spanish and Turkish articles where it's mistakenly used, and rename it to something like "fictional Nazi-like symbol" for uses such as in Wikinews, to avoid confusion in the future...?
