  •  Keep -- This nomination seems to be based on a misconception. The copyright notice the nominator has copied and pasted from the source URL applies to the original text on that web page. Books, newspapers, academic journals, and web-pages routinely use images they have liscensed, or which are in the public domain, or which they are using as "fair use". A copyright notice on a web page does not establish that individual or agency owns the intellectual property rights to images on that page.

    I don't remember uploading this image. I used {{PD-because}} -- a tag I don't remember ever using. The explanation I gave was:

I believe that material anonymously released by underground groups should be considered in the public domain. First, the group has no realistic path to sue to defend their intellectual property rights, if they planned to retain them. Second, because they are underground, and release their material anonymously, there is no path through which a surviving member could claim something was their intellectual property -- if the members of the group were offered an amnesty.
In retrospect I regret I didn't ask for input about this use of {{PD-because}} at village pump, or elsewhere, when I advanced this reasoning. It appears I didn't do so. I still think this justification makes sense. Geo Swan (talk) 02:25, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted: The listed source has an explicit copyright notice. The reasoning used in the box fails because most (maybe all) countries copyright laws make explicit provision for work published anonymously -- it never, as far as I know, becomes PD because it was published anonymously. "The owners won't sue" is one of the five arguments explicitly listed as invalid at COM:PRP.      Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 21:12, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The permission given is not satisfactory. The permission statement says that permission is only given so long as no fees are charged - which does not meet the requirements of the given CC license. Ajbpearce (talk) 13:51, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is rather concerning, as the image is essential to the article. I'll contact the author to see what can be worked out. Prioryman (talk) 18:51, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I agree its an important image, used on several articles, and if there is a way to get a compatible license that would be great. Looking a bit deeper - it seems like the image was taken from livius.org and that there are a good number of images taken from that site with a specific permission or release by the author, so hopefully we can get an updated permission. Otherwise, the cylinder is apparently in the British Museum and so if this image cannot be saved there is an active page of requests for BM images, so hopefully if posted there a new image of the cylinder could be taken by a wikipedia contributor (and infact there are a number of other images already on commons that could be used). EDIT:actually, this is apparently a more serious issue as the "no-fees" phrasing is used on a wide number of images from livius - so either the phrasing needs to be updated on a large number of images to reflect what the given permissions actually are or a significant number of images (35 with a quick search) will need to be deleted. Becuase of this I'm going to ask OTRS to look up the permission given and see what it actually says, and we should pause this discussion until that has been doneAjbpearce (talk) 12:15, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I've already contacted the webmaster of Livius to point out this discussion and ask him for advice. The policy posied on Livius here specifically addresses Wikipedia but is incompatible with free licensing. I agree that the discussion should be paused until we find out what the situation is. It may be (though it would be deeply regrettable) that we might have to remove all Livius images. Prioryman (talk) 08:07, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
There are some more pictures of the object in Category:Cyrus cylinder! One has just to change Cyrus cilinder.jpg in Cyrus Cylinder.jpg - ok in several articles... But it should be no problem to delete this one. --Ana al'ain (talk) 16:42, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
No, the key thing about this one is that it is a professionally taken image of the object, taken by a professional scholar while it was out of its display case. It is much higher quality than the others and of a greater clarity than is possible for amateur photographers who have to take a picture of it in its display case. If we can save this image we should. Prioryman (talk) 08:07, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Lighting of the Eiffel tower is copyrighted. Léna (talk) 21:48, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I doubt that the Service valorisation du fonds patrimonial, SOCIETE D'EXPLOITATION DE LA TOUR EIFFEL SETE 1, QUAI DE GRENELLE 75015 PARIS would refuse that wikimedia keep this image if it's clear that commercial use of the photograph is not allowed.

Moved from speedy. The file moved originally from en.wiki in 2007. According to User:Takabeg taken in 1946. from the files talk page:

Art. 27. The term of protection shall last for the lifetime of the author and for 70 years after his death. If there is more than one author, this period shall end upon the expiry of 70 years after the death of the last remaining author. The term of protection for works that have been first made public after the death of the author shall be 70 years after the date of death. The term of protection in the cases determined in the first paragraph of Article 12 shall be 70 years from the date on which the work was made public, unless the author reveals his name before expiry of such term. If the first author is a legal person, the term of protection shall be 70 years from the date on which the work was made public.

Possible personality rights problem - this was the uploader's only contribution, people in the image are clearly identifiable, and I wonder whether the people in the image are aware their image is on Commons. -mattbuck (Talk) 01:41, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Delete Agree, the women look not as we can assume the photographer has their consent to publish (maybe not even take) the photo. --Saibo (Δ) 10:57, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • It is in a photo series http://www.randomnude.com/2010/04/02/nude-beach-pair/ So my comment above does not apply anymore - at least the consent of being photographed can be assumed. Nothing about publishing anyway - and no statement from the one-file-uploader here about publishing consent. But anyway, I even assume this to be a copyvio (although the series I've found has a lower res).

there is not any meta data, suspect not own work Coekon (talk) 22:46, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Since it is said to be from 1377, the original work is PD-old and PD-Art applies, so I don't think we have a copyright problem. The 1377 date is three years before the 1380 birth of Gian Francesco Poggio Bracciolini, but I know nothing about Italian scholars, so I'm just grasping. If it is the Poggio in the WP:EN article then it is clearly in scope. If it is not, then I would consider deleting it as out of scope.
@Coekon. As a general rule, mere lack of metadata is not enough to support a DR. If it were, you could go to work on my uploads, none of which have metadata. Lack of metadata together with web size (smaller than this image) might be a reason for a DR if you have reason to suspect that the uploader doesn't completely understand the rules or is deliberately breaking them.      Jim . . . .

I apologize for nominating this file three times, but I didn't mean to bore people. I now have less time on Wikipedia and I found the things changed after the debate was closed: I sent a email to the picure uploder on Flickr, and I got this answer:

Hi Lee Bob Robert,

thanks for the questions, i wonder why my personal artwork from my personal album is posted, share and discuss on the wikimedia website? it is a personal artwork which i am paid and draw for the vogue magazine in 2006, and this artwork is under license of vogue magazine, and you should remove my artwork from your website!

the artwork is about 12 chinese horoscope, which is also called as the 12 zodiac in china, chinese zodiac is different with the western horoscope, chinese horoscope used 12 animals as the zodiacs, (link: http://chinesecalligraphystore.com/chinese-zodiac-signs/index.html) , so may be thats makes the confusion discussions if it is related into horoscope. In my artwork, i use one girl represent for one zodiac, and behind the girl i draw the zodiac in form of chinese word: 鼠 (rat),牛(cow),虎(tiger),兔(rabit),龍(dragon),蛇(Snake),馬(Horse),羊(sheep),猴(monkey),雞(chicken),狗(dog),豬(pig)..

i hope this can help to solve the problems.. anyway u can feel free to contact me if there is an confusions~

My mailing list has been getting emails from Benghazi (surprisingly enough) that are referencing this debate and how the construction of the various flags are. If you compare http://www.crwflags.com/fotw/images/l/ly%2751-69.gif with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Libya_Flag_Constitutional_Construction.svg the star seems to be closer to the crescent in the 2011 flag than in the 1951 flag. While it is subtle differences, these are the kind of details that are important to note and I feel more digging/investigations should be done before any kind of decision is made. User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 20:48, 17 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Kept: for now, as it still seems to be unclear whether the current Lybian flag will be virtually identical to the flag from 1951. So even if the two files are identical at the moment, that may not stay that way. If it is clear beyond any doubt that the new flag will be totally identical to the 1951 flag, consider renomination for deletion. Rosenzweig τ 22:50, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No source or author, "own work" unlikely --Kramer Associates (talk) 21:28, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment Some of these may be PD. - Kramer Associates (talk) 21:40, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

 Delete. The user has admitted (see his talk page) to making mistakes not understanding copyright when he started contributing to Commons. These are likely scans made by the uploader from other sources and should not be kept as "own work". It is not unlikely that some of these are free for other reasons, but unless such reasons are found and made clear on the file pages the files need to be deleted. /Ö 18:08, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Something is fishy here. Uploader requested deletion (Commons:Deletion_requests/Image:_Skyboard_001.jpg) of a near duplicate (just contained a phone numer of the company on the poster) and someone else claimed to be the photographer.

I do not think this is PD-textlogo; the font isn't simple (it is artisitic in this case), and there is art regarding shadows and 3D-lettering. Magog the Ogre (talk) 07:48, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Jim. I feel that the U.S. copyright office would reject any attempt to copyright the very simple triple circle "Mickey" icon. Trademark is Disney's only protection there, not copyright. Powers (talk) 15:47, 5 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

 Delete I think there's enough going on here to cast doubt on pd by way of simple. Perhaps someone should contact Disney and see what their stance is on the copyright status of the image? Barring that, assuming it's PD would likely not be a good idea. --Hammersoft (talk) 00:55, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Somehow I doubt Disney -- of all companies -- would happily grant that some of their intellectual property was in fact uncopyrightable. Powers (talk) 02:18, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I think that might be the definitive solution: either we receive shortly a take-down notice, or we don't get anything answer, which would probably mean that Disney also thinks that it is too simple to get a copyright. Yann (talk) 17:05, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Given the number of Disney logos we already host, I highly doubt a take-down notice is coming anytime soon. Powers (talk) 20:59, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Question If I've understood this discussion correctly, a logo containing only the name of the product (in any font) isn't copyrightable in the US. Could the Mickey head be seen as a part of the font, since it makes up a part of the letter "i", and thus not be copyrightable in this image? Sometimes, people use a small heart instead of a dot, and that's considered a part of the font. A Mickey head doesn't sound too different. --Stefan4 (talk) 19:10, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment - I still stand by my assertion that it is copyrightable. Yes, it is only text, and yes the text has only some shadow, and yes the text is only somewhat 3D, and yes the text has only a somewhat creative curvative in the third dimension, and yes the text is only in a somewhat artistic script (cursive). But taken together, it is creativity. After all, any creativity is composed of only this or that shape. If in doubt, the image should be deleted. We are not the copyright office, and we should err on the side of conservative; I'm worried we are using our own judgments and creating our own precedents which are not based on US law on what is ineligible. After all, people have been dinged for infringing on far less creative material (e.g., Vanilla Ice [10]). Magog the Ogre (talk) 15:52, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • It is not erring on the conservative side to believe this image is uncopyrightable. We have numerous examples of similar text being kept, some of it based on actual denials of copyright protection from the U.S. Copyright Office. Powers (talk) 20:59, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      • Conservative here means that you reject something for which the copyright status is uncertain, so using the stuff might not be safe. If the U.S. Copyright Office has denied copyright, the copyright status is certain, so using the stuff is safe. --Stefan4 (talk) 00:27, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        • Apologies, I must have misread. At any rate, though, we can't rely on the Copyright Office for everything, because they only issue rulings on items that are submitted to them. We have to use our own judgement to extrapolate from the official rulings. Given the other examples at Commons:Image casebook, it is in no way a stretch to find this image uncopyrightable: it contains only text and simple geometric shapes. Powers (talk) 19:45, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
          • Actually, I agree with you on that. The problem for me, though, is that it's also not a stretch to find this image copyrightable, and unless we are 100% sure, I'm not sure it's a good idea to keep it. Better safe than sorry, as they say. Magog the Ogre (talk) 00:19, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
            • Welcome to Commons, where we can never be 100% sure about anything, due to the complexity of copyright law. But I'm as sure about this logo being uncopyrightable as I am about just about any PD-textlogo case that comes before us. I once argued against keeping files like File:Klingon Empire Flag.svg, but that and several similar cases convinced me that "simple geometric shapes" actually encompass a much wider array of possibilities than I originally understood. If 100% surety is our metric, we should delete the Klingon flag for the same reason. Powers (talk) 18:52, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
              • That's not a good argument at all. Since when have we used the argument that "it could go either way so let's keep"? If that were the case, then {{Nsd}} and {{Npd}} would be useless, because "maybe the uploader is telling the truth, maybe not." That's the way Youtube handles its copyrights, and it's never been our standard, and thank God. I have trouble believing I'm actually hearing that.
              • The difference with a Klingon empire flag is not a good example because, in fact, there are similar examples wherein the US copyright office has ruled them uncopyrightable (notably the fleur de lis from the New Orleans Saints). One can, with the preponderance of evidence leaving no reasonable doubt, state that the Klingon flag is not copyrightable. The argument that "well, technically one can never be 100% sure about anything" fits the reductio ad absurdum logical fallacy perfectly.
              • The fleur de lis was an image which was based on a long-existing design and which showed basically no creativity against that design; it was just a matter of coloring and an outline. This image, on the other hand, has creative handwriting in "Disney" (calligraphy, as stated above, is copyrightable in the US; signatures are not because they do not show creativity), and at a given angle against the lower text. The lower text is set in 3D lettering which goes through at a set depth, and is at a very close angle to the metaphorical camera. It also has a shadow, and two differently colored buttons on the i, with mickey mouse ears as the dot of the i. As one piece, any of these one might claim "isn't copyrightable", but as a compendium, they quite possibly are. As stated above, any piece of work can be broken down into individual parts; it's when they're combined that they become creative. One way we might go about this is to ask "might another person have drawn this logo almost exactly alike, had we never seen it before?" For the fleur-de-lis, the answer is "yes" (if you ask me); for this image, it's almost certainly "no", barring a very unusual circumstance. That is, in essence, the definition of creativity.
              • But enough with the philosophy of the issue; what's more important is the legal aspect. Can you, or anyone else, show something which has been ruled in US court or by the copyright office to be uncopyrightable? If you can show me such an image, I will acquiesce. Not something which some admin on Commons (not a judge or US government worker) has ruled is uncopyrightable; Commons seems to be creating its own legal culture and precedent which is based far more on the opinions of what Commons users think should be copyrightable than on US law. Magog the Ogre (talk) 20:26, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
                • Calligraphy does not get copyright protection in the U.S. Who do you think stated otherwise? Powers (talk) 13:19, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
                  • Read what I wrote above. Where are you getting your facts? 15:43, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
                    • I wanted to clear up the calligraphy issue first, especially since your contention (that "calligraphy, as stated above, is copyrightable in the US") would affect a number of existing files. Powers (talk) 16:30, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Keep Not original enough. Ignoring Disney logo (PD-text), and Mickey Mouse's face (three circles only), the word "Junior" written in a 3D red font with a "shadow" is ewhat should be discussed. The most original here is the letter "i", and it is not original either. This is original, Disney Junior Logo.png is not. Tbhotch 21:27, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
  •  Delete - 100% original in the Mickey Mouse ears. "simple" has a very clear definition that a lot of people have been ignoring lately, which puts Commons and the WMF at serious jeopardy. The "Disney" part is further a signature, which can never be seen as "simple" text as simple requires it to be a set font type. Signatures have never qualified for public domain. Ottava Rima (talk) 16:36, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Fortunately, the DMCA provides an absolute shield for the WMF, such that none of our decisions could really put the WMF into jeopardy. This allows us to conduct our discussions calmly without hyperbole. See Commons:When to use the PD-signature tag, which reminds us that the Copyright Office has said "like typography, calligraphy is not copyrightable as such". No set font type is required.--Prosfilaes (talk) 18:54, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      • 1. Wrong. 2. You are not a lawyer nor are users allowed to give legal advice. 3. Commons policies makes it clear that we cannot promote any violation of copyright, which this clearly is and your comments should reflect our community consensus and standards. A signature is not calligraphy and that should have been obvious. Ottava Rima (talk) 19:58, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        • It is amazing how you will officiously tell everyone that the legal consequences of what they're doing is dire, and then toss out "You are not a lawyer nor are users allowed to give legal advice" when someone responds to that.--Prosfilaes (talk) 22:18, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
          • A lawyer is for the defense. Telling people of possible legal ramifications is not saying that it is legal. I don't think you understand how it works. On Commons, we need to assume everything is not legal or allowable by default. That is part of our policy and our traditions. To argue that something is legal and we are not responsible is something you are unqualified to do as you are not Wikimedia's legal counsel nor a judge that would handle such a case. Even the legal counsel would merely say that something is "unlikely" and never provide a definite answer as no lawyer could be definite in such a case until after there is a ruling by a court of law. Ottava Rima (talk) 23:43, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Where is your evidence for the copyrightablility of signatures in the United States? (Furthermore, it's not a true signature, but a wordmark using calligraphic characters, which only further solidifies the lack of copyright on that particular pattern.) Powers (talk) 19:57, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      • 1. We have a policy that gives the information and says that only generic signatures are uncopyrightable. 2. Calligraphy is something very different. That image is a copy of Disney's original signature. It was how he signed some of his artistic name plates and has most of the markers here (if you think his signature never differed, see [11] and [12]. The signature contains many unique alterations to letters, and there are multiple other changes to the images as a whole. The US courts have ruled that even if individually the parts could be seen as not copyrightable that their arrangement can be. This is one such case. Disney is extremely litigious and stands by their copyright on many issues, and have gotten copyright laws changed solely to protect them. Ottava Rima (talk) 17:15, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        • You said, and I quote: "Signatures have never qualified for public domain." Now you say "only generic signatures are uncopyrightable." I cannot see how these two statements can be reconciled. Powers (talk) 19:27, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

                  • Then I don't think there is a possible way for you to understand. I said "Signatures". You were using the fact it was a signature as a rationale. I pointed out that being a signature does not make something automatically PD. Thus, you would need another rationale. That was rather clearly put in the sentence. Ottava Rima (talk) 05:55, 11 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

                                • You said I said "signatures are never PD". The quote right there clearly says "qualified". There is a huge difference and you know it, and your tendentiousness is absolutely inappropriate. It is 100% clear that being a signature does not qualify something as public domain.

                                  • The plain meaning of your statement "Signatures have never qualified for public domain" is clear: that never in the history of mankind has a signature qualified -- that is, been deemed to be appropriate for -- public domain. If you meant to say that "merely being a signature has never been sufficient to qualify a work as public domain", it's hardly my fault for not reading your mind.

                                    • "s clear: that never in the history of mankind has a signature qualified -- that is, been deemed to be appropriate for" Then you don't understand English and I think you need to stop. It has already been pointed out over and over and over that you are flat out wrong. I said that being a signature is not a qualification. This is the same as being an oil is not a qualification for being gasoline. There are plenty of oils that aren't gasoline just as there are plenty of signatures that are not PD. How you fail to get that is beyond anyone's ability to understand, but it is why you are wrong on this and keep pushing directly false claims about what others say. You should stop.

 Delete. While I don't think the Disney portion is copyrightable (it is just typeface, which is not copyrightable in either standard fonts or custom ones -- see File:NY Arrows logo.png for example), nor do I think the basic word "Junior" is copyrightable, nor do I think the three circles by themselves would qualify -- I think there is too much else present to assume this is below the threshold. The combination of the circles and the ornamentation on the "i" might be enough creative arrangement by itself, not sure, and primarily I think the 3D effect and shading is probably enough. I'm not sure I've seen a case or Copyright Office decision which denied copyright to something like that. Decisions on perspective, how far back to make the 3D effect, the shadows on the ground, etc. (all of which go further than typographic ornamentation) are enough for me to guess this would be copyrightable as a drawing.

Several different Wikipedia sites have local copies of this image. If the Commons decision is "keep", I guess that all of the Wikipedia copies should be deleted. If the Commons decision is "delete", it would still be nice to add interwiki links between all of the local copies:

 Delete The knockout reason why Commons should respect Disney's copyright claim is because the artwork can only be used for the same purpose as a non-free image would be used. Since the whole context of this discussion is whether this logo is non-free or not, and we are discussing whether this artwork can only be used to identify a specific product or organisational division of Walt Disney, then that clearly indicates that we are all talking about a non-free image. Although the artwork contains simple text and not very original graphics, it still serves the purpose of identifying Disney Junior in a recognisable way, and there is no other use to which the image of this artwork could be put other than illustrate this particular brand. Since this image cannot be used for any other purpose other than as visual identification of Disney Junior, then that is the killer argument as to why it is copyrightable, and why it should be treated as a non-free image in the same way that it has been treated as such on Wikipedia. --Gavin Collins (talk) 10:49, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry if I was not clear. I am looking at this image in terms of artwork, which I believe Disney claims copyright under their terms of use and their fair use policies.--Gavin Collins (talk) 13:16, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
That Disney blanketly claims copyright over every shred of data on their web sites is not evidence that it actually is copyrighted. It certainly doesn't override established U.S. law regarding the threshhold of originality. That blanket notice doesn't allow them to copyright something that isn't copyrightable, and that includes simple letterforms and basic shapes. Powers (talk) 01:13, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Sadly, nothing you or I can say can determine whether the artwork is "copyrightable" or not, as our opinions about legal matters are just heresay.
Regardless of what think of their the terms of use Disney's website, it is made clear that no user should download their logo and then upload it into Commons. Their terms state:
"Except as we specifically agree in writing, no Content from any Site may be used other than as part of the Site, reproduced, transmitted, distributed or otherwise exploited in any way..."
What this means is that the uploader broke the terms of use of Disney's website, even before the matter of copyright came into play ("Ex turpi causa non oritur actio)". If this is the case, I would recomend speedy deletion as the only remedy open to us. --Gavin Collins (talk) 12:11, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
"[...] it is sufficiently distinctive to identify Disney Junior in a recognisable way." This doesn't affect the copyright status, though. Check COM:TOO#United States for logos determined by the copyright office or a court to be in the public domain. Take the Best Western logo, for example. It is sufficiently distinctive to identify Best Western in a recognisable way, yet it isn't copyrighted in the United States. (By the way, it seems that the sentence I'm quoting might have been deleted while I was writing my reply...) --Stefan4 (talk) 12:19, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The issue here is that neither the copyright office nor a court has determined this logo to be beneath the threshold of originality - there is no third party evidence to support this view in this case. Secondly, I do not know whether this artwork has been registered as a logo, nor, thirdly, whether not COM:TOO can be applied to this image, as there isn't a reasonably objective test that could be applied. If there was some sort of test that we could use to identify this artwork as being beneath the threshold of reality, then we would not have to rely on hearsay alone to make this judgement.
The only evidence we do have before us is that (a) the artwork was uploaded against the the terms of use of Disney's website, (b) Disney claims copyright over their work and (c) the image of the artwork is being used to identify Disney Junior ("fair use") in any case.
The evidence is not very strong, I will admit, but in the absence of a third party ruling to the contrary, we have no alternative but to accept their claim at face value and delete this non-free image.--Gavin Collins (talk) 13:26, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Most of the images on COM:TOO are not those decided by courts and represent a really dangerous claim that Commons is not supposed to make. Ottava Rima (talk) 19:09, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
COM:TOO includes File:Hercules 1998 Intertitle.png, which to me seems more original than this one. 117Avenue (talk) 02:14, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Decided by people mobbing up on it and not a court of law. That decision should have been overturned and people who are pushing the TOO there should have been considered to be blocked for disruption. Copyright is a serious matter and we are supposed to be overly cautious, not reckless. It is also used as a "decision" when there was only one vote, which is really, really problematic. The issue of the signature alone showed that people were not considering our policies properly. CC-BY-SA 3.0 needs to be met. The claims of PD are really bad. And Most TOO is only an argument for fair use or for a defense of something being "similar" but still mostly original. Not for clear commercial use of a work that is a 100% copy. Ottava Rima (talk) 02:25, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Note: Someone uploaded a different version of the same logo today. I'm adding it to the deletion request since it's really the same logo. --Stefan4 (talk) 00:31, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]


Deleted: per Carl Lindberg and precautionary principle. Not the easiest decision, but somebody finally had to make it. Rosenzweig τ 12:29, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
