I propose that the articles [[Flag of the Arab Revolt]] and [[Flag of the Arab Federation]] be merged, as they largely describe the same flag design and historical-symbolic lineage, with differences that are already adequately covered through contextual explanation rather than requiring separate standalone pages.

The flag commonly known as the Flag of the Arab Revolt (black, white, and green horizontal stripes with a red triangle at the hoist) was first adopted during the Arab Revolt of 1916. This same flag design was later used officially by the short-lived Arab Federation (1958), without significant alteration to its visual elements. The Arab Federation did not introduce a distinct or modified flag design, but rather reused the established Arab Revolt flag as a pan-Arab symbol.

Per WP:CONTENTFORK, maintaining two separate articles for the same flag design risks unnecessary duplication and fragmentation of information. Both pages currently repeat the same description of colors, symbolism, and origins, differing mainly in the political entity associated with the flag rather than the flag itself.

:Makes more sense to me to merge the [[flag of the Arab Federation]] to the [[Arab Federation]]. The flag of the Arab Revolt has no relevance to the flag of the Arab Federation aside from being the first flag with the pan-Arab colours, which the latter flag shares.

:'''Oppose''' {{Ping|Najafite}} It's not even the same flag? [[Flag of the Arab Revolt]] is black, green, white; [[Flag of the Arab Federation]] is black, white green. If you want all flags from the same "historical-symbolic lineage" in one article, then why not merge ''all'' Arab flag articles into [[Pan-Arab colors]]? --[[User:Un assiolo|Un assiolo]] ([[User talk:Un assiolo|talk]]) 19:59, 7 January 2026 (UTC)
::'''support''' merging [[flag of the Arab Federation]] to [[Arab Federation]]. This specific instance of the flag doesn't need its own page considering its short longevity or cultural significance and its enough to have it mentionned on [[Arab Federation]] and the inclusion of the design on [[Flag of the Arab Revolt]](as it already the case).

:<s>'''Support''' @[[User:Un assiolo|Un assiolo]]'s proposal of merging this and [[Flag of the Arab Federation]] into [[Pan-Arab colors]].</s> [[User:Hsnkn|Hsnkn]] ([[User talk:Hsnkn|talk]]) 20:33, 17 January 2026 (UTC)
::To be clear, I don't support any mergers. My "proposal" to {{tq|merge ''all'' Arab flag articles into [[Pan-Arab colors]]}}, including e.g. [[flag of Jordan]], was meant to be a ''[[reductio ad absurdum]]''. --[[User:Un assiolo|Un assiolo]] ([[User talk:Un assiolo|talk]]) 20:38, 17 January 2026 (UTC)
:::I suppose I'd withdraw my support then (this makes me feel quite stupid). [[User:Hsnkn|Hsnkn]] ([[User talk:Hsnkn|talk]]) 20:47, 17 January 2026 (UTC)
