Lack of sources

This article does not cite a single source for the use of the image as a flag. The one item referenced does not refer to this. I have not managed to find any reliable sources to add to the article. Unless others can produce such sources, I will list for deletion. Celuici (talk) 17:10, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Change of article name without consultation

"Ansar Allah" may be a theoretically correct name, but Wikipedia goes by "common name"… AnonMoos (talk) 01:31, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The "flags" are also unconfirmed to belong to the Houthi movement, so the rename is false anyway. Applodion (talk) 09:44, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

is the "Pan-Arab flag" image used in the article accurate?

On Pan-Arab colors it shows a different flag with different order of stripe. This flag looks like the Palestinian flag. PenneOnTheLeft (talk) 02:25, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You're right. Also the Pan-Arab flag generally has a smaller triangle. NingNonger (talk) 22:11, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure whether there's a "pan-Arab flag", but there's certainly a Flag of the Arab Revolt... -- AnonMoos (talk) 09:52, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's basically semantics. The flag of the Arab revolt is often referred to as the pan-Arab flag, but arguably many other flags that use those colours are also pan-Arab flags (like Palestine, Jordan and especially the Ba'ath flag). The more important point is that the Houthis are certainly intending to fly a Palestine flag rather than a pan-Arab one. NingNonger (talk) 20:39, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This article is unnecessary

Shouldn't this article be merged with the Houthi movement page? I don't see why this should be a separate article in the first place, since this is general information involving the Houthi Movement. 71.172.2.181 (talk) 00:04, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's very prominent hate slogan and incitement to mass murder. If we can have an article on Fourteen Words, then we can have an article on the Houthi flag... AnonMoos (talk) 18:29, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

But the thing is, it would be useless to just create an article on a topic that is:

-part of another article that has the same topic.

-mentioned and explained in the article.

In fact, this "article" is already went over in Houthi_movement#Slogan_and_controversies. 100.1.61.2 (talk) 01:13, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Slogan of the Houthi movement → Banner of Ansar Allah – →

Better description of current page.
More typical / consistent for other Wikipedia pages that apply to a single movement or entity.
"Banner" instead of "flag" because that seems to be the more common name.

I.M.B. (talk) 00:58, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - The current title accurately describes the article's contents (namely, the slogan) and follows WP:COMMONNAME. The group is universally known as Houthi movement, a term also used by researchers as seen in various books and articles such as "The Huthi Movement in Yemen: Ideology, Ambition and Security in the Arab Gulf", "Tribes and Politics in Yemen: A History of the Houthi Conflict", and "The Houthi War Machine: From Guerrilla War to State Capture".

Oppose for the same reason stated at talk:Houthi movement Abo Yemen ✉ 09:03, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"Ansar Allah" (helpers of God) is a vague name which is similar to the names of a number of other factions. "Houthi" is instantly identifying. AnonMoos (talk) 21:32, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
