 Delete. At File talk:SLO-Tišina1.JPG, I'd withdrawn the deletion proposal, but taking Commons:Deletion requests/Images of coats of arms of Slovenian municipalities into consideration, I think that the passage:
"Although the law based on the example of the Berne Convention discusses only official texts, in the frame of official jurisdictions other categories of authored works also often appear as parts of the official text, its annex or independently (e.g. urban planning maps in spatial files; drawings of traffic signs; drawings of the national coat-of-arms, of municipal coats of arms, of flags and the music of the national anthem; sketches and plans from the patent file after the official publication of the patent). In its purpose these works do not differ from official texts, therefore it should be regarded that they are exempt of copyright law too.29" from [ M. B. Jančič, M. B. Breznik, M. Damjan, M. Kovačič, M. Milohnić. Upravljanje avtorskih in sorodnih pravic na Internetu - Vidik javnih inštitucij (in Slovene) [The Management of Copyright and Related Rights on Internet - The Aspect of Public Institutions]. August 2010. Peace Institute; Faculty of Law, University of Ljubljana. Pg. 28., which refers to the proper reading of Article 9 of the Slovenian copyright law,[1]
should be read more conservatively: only images of the coats of arms published in official documents (like [2]) should be regarded as copyright exempt, not their realisation at other places. There is also no Commons-usable FOP in Slovenia. I support the deletion of the image as a copyvio. The Municipality of Tišina did provide a blazon of its coat of arms at [3], therefore it can be recreated. --Eleassar (t/p) 08:54, 18 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]


 Keep A photo like this is a very different situation than copying a graphic off of a website. There might be an argument if someone cropped out the rest of the photo and just used the CoA, but I really can't imagine a court giving a government artist (or a government) derivative rights over a private photo like this. If not exactly de minimis, it's something similar. Carl Lindberg (talk) 12:08, 18 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
