Comment: Please see the general notability guidelines on Wikipedia. The source that you had cited for the date it was first created is not reliable, it seems to be self-published. The other 2 sources that you use do not have enough significant coverage. The last one does not seem to be created by an expert on the topic, as it says that he has a bachelor in electrical engineering, but is writing on a history topic. If you get 2-4 more sources which are reliable then this would without a doubt get passed because it seems to be notable. Please see WP:SOURCE and WP:Reliable sources in addition to the WP:General notability guideline 🇪🇭 Easternsahara U T C 19:11, 31 July 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: Writer here! please note that this article is a "Semi Translation" of the Turkish Wiki page Türkmeneli bayrağı the Redirection of "Flag of Turkmeneli" takes you into the page of Iraqi turkmen which both are different topics, so thats why i found it necessary to create this page.

The flag of Turkmeneli is a sky blue banner [1]featuring a central white crescent and star, flanked above and below by two narrow horizontal white stripes. It is used as the ethnic and political symbol of the Iraqi Turkmen community.[2][3][4][5][6]
The sky blue color, known as gök mavisi in Turkmen, symbolizes the Turkic heritage. While there is no fixed shade, the hexadecimal color #52B5F7 is widely used. The crescent and star are common symbols in Turkic and Islamic iconography, representing cultural and religious heritage. The two horizontal white lines are interpreted as symbolic representation of the region between the Danube River in austuria to the great wall of china. [7]
