No flag icons please

[edit]

Film festivals are not like international sports events (Olympics, etc) where athlets represent their country, and so flag icons can be placed to stress this fact. Flag icons in film festival award articles give undue weight to the nationality of the actress, actor, director or film. This is so also per WP:MOSFLAGS. Nationality is not mentioned during the award ceremony of film festivals. We mention it here as parethetical additional information, so a simple parenthesis after the name is informative and appropriate without undue weight. Hoverfish Talk 18:04, 14 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

For (B), we would need to move the following articles:
