As you can tell from the responses to your question, from Lenny suggesting a cantaor, or a "real" aficionado (however that is defined) would know, to Ramzi suggesting anything Paco de Lucia plays is flamenco, there is no defined point at which flamenco ends and another "style" begins. I would wager that if you got a group of "real" aficionados in a room, they would not agree on when flamenco has gone off a cliff and become something else. We can all agree on "core" flamenco palos and playing, but when you get to the outer edges of becoming an "ensemble" and, as Ricardo suggests, becoming much more "jazz," that's where definitions break down, even among aficionados.
