Text should be set using Wiki markup, not as an image. I recognize that this is in use, but that doesn't change the rule. . Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 15:08, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
- Well, is it possible to use Wiki markup to write a text in devanagari? I mean that was not properly a text...

Keep per COM:INUSE. —Mr. Granger (talk · contribs) 03:09, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
- @Mr. Granger: Just because it is in use, it mean it should be kept. Jim already said that he recognize that the file is in use. But he also said that text should be set using Wiki markup. ★ Poké95 09:54, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
- Actually, just because it's in use does mean that it should be kept. According to COM:INUSE, "A media file that is in use on one of the other projects of the Wikimedia Foundation is considered automatically to be useful for an educational purpose". —Mr. Granger (talk · contribs) 13:00, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

Comment At Commons:Project scope#Excluded educational content, it said that:
- Files that contain nothing educational other than raw text. Purely textual material such as plain-text versions of recipes, lists of instructions, poetry, fiction, quotations, dictionary definitions, lesson plans or classroom material, and the like are better hosted elsewhere, for example at Wikibooks, Wikiquote, Wiktionary, Wikiversity or Wikisource.
- Therefore, this image is included in the excluded educational content, so it is out of scope. --★ Poké95 10:01, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
- The text that you've quoted is followed by an exception: "Commons can be used to host such material if included in a shareable media file that is of use to one of the other Wikimedia Foundation-hosted (WMF) projects", which applies here, as the file is in use on other WMF projects. —Mr. Granger (talk · contribs) 13:00, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
Kept: in use. --Basvb (talk) 16:47, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
