A subdivision flag emoji which is not Unicode-official, which according to [https://emojipedia.org/flag-for-rakhine-mm16#emoji Emojipedia], is not implemented by any significant platform. Xeroctic (talk) 19:16, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
- I use Safari as a browser and all I see solid black flag which is is not even close to any of the flags shown in the target article. --67.70.103.160 (talk) 19:51, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
- On Firefox on linux and in Wikipedia Android app I see a waving white flag with a light blue question mark on it. Thryduulf (talk) 20:07, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
- :On Firefox/Mac, I also get the black flag. Edward-Woodrow (talk) 20:47, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
- ::As the OP, I use Chrome on Windows 10, which is a black flag with nothing after it. Xeroctic (talk) 20:53, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
Delete per nom. This is not a precomposed character and we don't need to have redirects for all compositions that are not implemented. Thryduulf (talk) 20:07, 21 November 2023 (UTC)- Thinking about this further I have changed my mind and now recommend keeping the redirect. It's unambiguous and anyone who doesn't know what the flag represents (e.g. because they see a white flag with a question mark on it or other placeholder, or see the correct design but don't recognise it) they will be taken to the article that explains what it is.

- I'd think, "neat!" and click on it, expecting to find out who's using an all-black flag (similar to Libya's green one from 1977-2011). Flag of Rakhine State would be an awful disappointment. Understandable if it's just me whose system didn't display it right; less so when it's essentially everybody's. List of black flags is no better, since not everybody sees just black, either, even among those who can't display the Rakhine one properly. —Cryptic 23:04, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
- There are no links to this redirect: the only way it will be accessed is through someone searching up the emoji for Flag of Rakhine State, in which case the redirect serves its use. J947 † edits 23:29, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
- Delete far too May browsers are displaying images that look nothing like the Flag of Rakhine State.--67.70.103.160 (talk) 00:48, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
- Keep, obscure but accurate. J947 † edits 00:58, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
- Delete per above. It just looks like a solid white flag for me so this is also confusing. --Lenticel (talk) 01:57, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
- :Not sure how it's confusing to the reader? J947 † edits 02:55, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
- ::A Quick Look at the discussion would show that the confusion comes from the fact they multiple browsers are displaying the redirect image in a way that makes it look nothing like the flag in the target article. In fact different browsers are displaying completely different wrong images (solid black flag, white flag with a blue question mark, etc) so I would not call this accurate. Also I’m an the same person that posted as an IP earlier, my Internet recently went down changing my IP address.--67.70.103.36 (talk) 05:15, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. Apparently, this redirect targets where it is supposed to. Steel1943 (talk) 19:18, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
- Keep: I think it's a bit of a weird scenario where doesn't display properly for most people, but the display issue is unlikely to be relevant in the utility of the redirect. The redirect just for the Black Flag glyph ({{-r|🏴}}) continues to redirect to List of black flags, so this would only be relevant for the people who have this subdivision flag emoji, even if it's not in the unicode standard, to get to the target they need to get to. I wouldn't necessarily advise creating more emoji like this, but I don't think it's ultimately harmful as it does help people and I can't see it as being terribly confusing.

- Keep. Deleting this page would make it the only emoji without a redirect on Wikipedia. This is probably why every other emoji redirect discussion brought up this year has concluded in a keep/retarget decision.

- Comment {{tq|Deleting this page would make it the only emoji without a redirect on Wikipedia}} Although this redirect uses emoji characters, no designs for it are mentioned on Emojipedia, so it is not an official emoji that a notable emoji set implements (compare unofficial emojis implemented by major platforms such as 🐱👤 (Ninja Cat by Microsoft before the Fluent redesign), which do have redirects. {{Cl|Redirects from emoji}} does list several other non-offical subdivision flags, but those are US state flags (which Emojipedia once created hypothetical designs for) and several UAE subdivisions (whether those get deleted might depend on whether this one get deleted, but all of them are also non-implemented unofficial emojis). All the emoji RFDs listed above are official so it would make more sense to keep or retarget them than delete then entirely (although this could change with the ongoing village pump Emoji RFC, which I have not seen mentions about potential scenarios such as this one).

- :I found information for this emoji on Emojipedia [https://emojipedia.org/flag-for-rakhine-mm16 here] and [https://admin.emojipedia.org/flag-for-rakhine-mm16/ here]. The second link's See also section contains a whole list of flag emojis for the other states of Myanmar too. Enix150 (talk) 00:35, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
- ::Those other flags are unlikely to be implemented as well. Clicking on a few of the other Myanmar state flags states they are non-RGI emoji (not officially recognised by Unicode) and with no implementations. Xeroctic (talk) 18:45, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
- :::There are quite a few flags that are not RGI-approved yet. 🏴 (Flag of Mon State), 🏴 (Flag of Shan State), and 🏴 (Flag of Bago Region) also have redirects to their State flags, and each of the 50 US State flag emojis have redirects to their respective flags too.
