No, those are dominant sevenths or minor sevenths. Diminished sevenths actually are flatted twice to be enharmonic to the major 6th.

Besides the special case of the seventh, one uses the term "minor" to describe a flattened interval unless it's a perfect interval to begin with (unison, fourth, fifth, octave), which is when you use "diminished".
