If this template was added because you clicked "Mark for deletion" in the left menu (right when using Vector 2022 skin), please make sure that all necessary pages have been created. If they haven't been created after a few minutes, or if you added this template manually, you should complete these steps:
- Visit the deletion requests subpage and place the following code:
{{
subst:
delete2|image=File:Malacca flag as shown in the Cantino Planisphere (1512).png|reason=The map which was used as a reference is not reliable. Issue on the map's unreliability was not properly discussed in the previous discussion and not considered during the deicsion to keep the file. This same design of a red flag with black crescent was used on multiple Islamic kingdoms at that time, which includes the Ottoman Empire. We know that the Ottoman Empire did not use a black crescent but instead used a white crescent
and a star, which was not depicted in the map. Although the government website states that the Malaccan flag used a red flag with a crescent charge, with no indication over what colour was used. Considering how in Malay vexillology, black over red is not common if even existent, it is fair to say that the map misdepicted this flag. It is more possible that the flag was white-on-red, but there is still a lack of evidence on that, so it is safer to keep the matter out of Wikipedia for now to avoid misinformation.}} ~~~~
