I would counsel some caution in treating the Australian flag chart on Aspirant Peoples as a source. It contains a lot of images which cannot be supported by documentation or any kind of evidence, some of which spring from the fevered brow of a Russian vexillologist of doubtful reputation. They need to be treated with some scepticism until further evidence comes along.
William Crampton, 1996

The authors of the chart included the flag in good faith, I know them as serious vexillologists. And as they state in the chart, the flags appear as a matter of record only. In fact it is very difficult to decide on which flags from all the hundreds of flags discussed in vexillological periodicals (or FOTW) do really represent an aspirant people, or do just belong to an ephimeral political party representing only a tiny aspirant part of that people. Criteria of including or omitting flags on the various charts published all over the world are difficult to understand for readers. Criteria are also difficult to set up by authors. In democratic countries, where regional, state or autonomous flags are legally recognised, differentiation of separatist movements’ flags on one hand, which often represent but a very small part of the population, from the same traditional regional flag, which represents the big majority of the population accepting their region as a part of the state or nation, is most difficult.
Emil Dreyer, 11 Dec 2000

Please note, that the Flags of Non-Independent Peoples and Flags of Aspirant Peoples [jcl90] charts are two separate publications. As both charts contain different flags I had to call the two charts by different, but similar, names as it is the same general subject matter.
