General: Article is new enough and long enough |

QPQ: Done. |
Overall:
Article was new enough to mainspace when nominated, is easily long enough (~6000 chars), and has a valid QPQ. The image proposed is relevant and used in the article (it's the topic), has a valid license as far as I can tell, and is clear enough at the DYK resolution. The first hook is interesting enough, is included in the article, and is cited to a reputable published source. The article maintains a suitably neutral point of view on the topic, not e.g. complimenting or criticizing the flag's various designs. Claims are cited to reputable published sources. I see no signs of plagiarism from online sources.
My only concern is that I can't parse the final sentence of the first paragraph of "First flag": what did Bigelow "disavow", and what does it have to do the American flag? It would be nice to have that sentence cleared up, and then this should be ready to go. This is ready to go and approved for DYK!

I was on r/vexillology and I found Spokane changed there Flag, while Reddit is not a reliable source, the Spokane Flag Commission tweeted about the new design. WikiMakersOfOurTime ( talk) 17:04, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
