converted by me to DR from a speedy by Sven Manguard for "Why is it a copyright violation? I'm going out on a limb and saying "because it says so in the information template below.", to allow for a discussion and because there derivatives from this image. --Túrelio (talk) 19:32, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
- Speedy delete. Well, I fear there's not much to discuss. The matter is quite straightforward: the Vatican does not freely licence its coin designs. See also Commons:Deletion requests/File:Euro coins.jpg and Commons:Deletion requests/File:File-€2 Commemorative coin Vatican city 2010.jpg, etc. There is no reason why this particular design would be an exception. There is no evidence (and actually it is not even claimed by anybody) that this image was released for free reuse. This type of non-free image (non-free national sides of coins of countries without a PD-gov clause covering coins) has never been allowed by Commons policy. (However, some impenitent users regularly reupload large numbers of them again and again, so they must also be regularly and quickly deleted, and unfortunately they tend to accumulate from time to time when we release our vigilance and when the treatment of the copyvios slows to a point where the deletion rate of those copyvios does not keep up with their reupload rate by the recidivists. Btw, this might be a good opportunity to encourage admins to do a good and much needed general cleanup of the other similar non-free images (hint: Category:Euro coins (Vatican)).) -- Asclepias (talk) 17:16, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
