The seal is not very commonly used, which explains why the article is unreferenced. Nothing that indicates notability. At best, this should be redirected or merged into a more proper article. Philosophy2 (talk) 04:57, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Text was PD from the DC government's website, thus no source is needed (I've re-written it to reflect the current seal). We have seal articles for every American state and territory and a explanation of the symbols used, and that inclusion should also include the seal of the nation's capital.
