Converted by me to regular DR to allow for discussion. Not sure whether nomination might be frivolous. -- Túrelio (talk) 08:08, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Seal is copyrighted per, https://www.123rf.com/photo_85340202_stock-illustration-3d-seal-of-las-vegas-nevada-usa-3d-illustration-.html, and at least 8 more sites. Phubber (talk) 18:13, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The link is not to a government website stating the copyright status, but rather a private image repository. I must also question what you mean by "plus silver copyright", you can not copyright a colour. Fry1989 ^eh? 19:27, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

 Keep as per Fry -- MaxxL - talk 19:35, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

 Keep I can't see an argument for this being copryrighted. Perhaps the submitter may be able to add a more coherent explanation.Shajure (talk) 03:27, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

 Keep, nominator has been confirmed as a sockpuppet. PyroFloe (talk) 02:59, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Kept: apart from the sockpuppet nomination, my reasoning to keep the file is as follows: The website of Las Vegas, https://www.lasvegasnevada.gov/, has a copyright sign, so their opinion is, all work is copyrighted, including the seal. However, the notice on File:Seal of Las Vegas, Nevada.svg, says it is in PD. This flag is a simple derivative work of the seal. If the seal is in PD, the flag will also fall in PD. So the image of the flag can be kept. --Elly (talk) 19:15, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
