This file was initially tagged by 70.68.168.129 as Copyvio (Copyvio) and the most recent rationale was: Per https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/governments/celebrating-british-columbia/symbols-of-bc#flag, this flag is protected via Crown copyright.. Perhaps, but the source gives the flag's publication date as 1960, and COM:CANADA indicates that crown copyright lasts only 50 years post-publication (i.e. 2010). This may cause potential URAA issues, but that's a DR issue rather than a speedy deletion issue. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 17:42, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm also going to note that source information has been radically changed over time; there may well be a past version of this that is re-created only by looking at the statutory text description of the flag, which would be perfectly acceptable. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 17:48, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Also note this government website, which say The Provincial flag is public domain and not protected by the Provincial Symbols and Honours Act. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 17:54, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Kept: no valid reason for deletion. holly {chat} 01:50, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
