Hello, Polyamproud recently conducted a vote (to which 30,000+ people took part) to select a new polyamory pride flag. It has been added to the page, but only with primary sources: I suggest that we wait a little until there are press articles about this new flag. Right now, I do not think this flag meets the notability criteria. Skimel ( talk) 21:57, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

variations on Pi-and-the-three-colors the ILIC symbol ... The symbol that started this category, Jim Evans' Poly Pride Flag. He has put this image in the public domain ... "ILIC" stands for Infinite Love in Infinite Combinations (a reference to Star Trek's IDIC credo --- the D in the Star Trek version stands for "Diversity").
I don't think Reddit was used in the article, but the only citations were from the group that released the flag which is clearly not any better. Thanks. -- Trougnouf ( talk) 00:07, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
reflexivelyciting unreliable sources. At any rate, it is foolish & absurd to think that Reddit can decide what a flag is for the entire polyamorous community. Peaceray ( talk) 00:20, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
Peaceray ( talk) 17:18, 25 November 2022 (UTC)Reddit is specifically designated as unreliable. 30,000 Reddit users, some of whom may not be polyamorous, do not get to decide for the rest of the substantially more numerous polyamorous community. It is definitely too soon for this flag to be notable.

I agree with you all that the opinion of Reddit users is irrelevant, just clarifying my point that most Reddit users seem to be against the flag. -- Trougnouf ( talk) 17:33, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
Is there any evidence of the flag actually in use in daily life? At events, parades, community meetings, shops, on books, in print, on flyers, or in any sense an organic, grassroots use of this symbol in real life? And how many polyamorous people would recognise what it was without being told?
It's just another proposed flag at this stage. It's misleading content for an encyclopedia article, because it misrepresents a casual reader into believing this is a recognised symbol in use. Wikipedia should not be used a as vehicle for advancing the goal of making this the flag by circular logic (it's the one which wikipedia says is official...therefore more people see it and use it...and so, in turn, it becomes official). We should postpone inclusion until there is evidence of it in common use, or whether it goes the way of all the other proposed poly flags.
If people do want to include it, maybe a section on polyamory symbol & flag controversy, which puts it into context as one of many proposals 2A02:C7F:8B91:8200:91CA:D1E7:F42F:69A8 ( talk) 16:30, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
Polyamory is an approach to relationships that emphasizes the possibility of having multiple meaningful connections with others without strictly focusing on sexual or romantic ties. It is a philosophy or lifestyle that recognizes and encourages the potential for emotional intimacy, love, and commitment in various forms, beyond the traditional monogamous framework. Polyamory can involve deep friendships, platonic partnerships, or chosen family relationships where individuals prioritize building connections based on emotional compatibility, mutual support, and shared values. The key aspect of polyamory is the acknowledgment and acceptance of multiple simultaneous relationships, which can be diverse in nature and dynamics, while respecting the consent and autonomy of all parties involved. 2600:8801:2205:7100:1C90:315:F758:CFFE ( talk) 02:14, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
@ darknessgoth777 would you mind explaining why a navbox which has this page as one of the listed entries should not be on this page so we can achieve a consensus on what to do? And can you do this here, rather than just immediately trying to reinsert your change? thanks in advance. -- Licks-rocks ( talk) 09:38, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
I thought this was pertinent, plus it has links to many other sources. I do not have the time to incorporate it into this article at present, but I thought maybe some of you other editors might like do that.
