•  Keep if there's no copyright problem. Too late for a courtesy deletion, looks like it could be useful. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 13:28, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
•  Delete Thank you for your comment Ikan Kekek.

I would like to remark that I requested the deletion of this file as I uploaded it by mistake when starting in Commons. The original .SVG file is also uploaded and I consider this one as an exact duplicate with no sense as the .SVG is a higher quality image and .PNG versions can be exported on demand from it.

At this moment the .PNG version is not used in GlobalUsage so the removal shouldn't be an issue.

The comparison between the files to demonstrate their total similarity can be seen below.

• SVG version to remain in Commons:

I must be missing something, because what I'm seeing is that File:CATM-120C.png at full size is great, whereas File:CATM-120C.svg is much smaller. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:01, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

Hy!

Yeah. You are right. The .png version is bigger... not to say massive. When I exported it, I did it with the near-to-real missile dimensions. This size of file is not useful, from my point of view, when using it in Internet environment. Another bad point is the file size, bigger than the original .SVG.

It is important to consider that if someone needs a huge .PNG, he can export it from the original .SVG (also a smaller size file if necessary). This is the advantage of the Scalable Vector Graphics as stated in Commons:Transition to SVG:

SVG has these advantages
It is not a pixel-based image file format and thus is scalable indefinitely to any size without loss of sharpness. Since it is resolution-independent, the file size is the same regardless of the image's resolution.

To sum up... the .SVG file is useful as it allows any Commons user to export raster files in any kind of format and in sizes according to their own needs (using adequate software such as Inkscape). Finally, I consider the .PNG version of this files as not useful at all as everything the .PNG can do for Commons users, can be done by its equivalent and original version in .SVG format (and much more).

Thanks for considering this point of view.

And Merry Christmas! MorMor 100Polar (Mensajes aquí) 11:08, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

Merry Christmas to you! And thanks for explaining. I'll just defer to the closing admin on this. Ikan Kekek (talk) 12:18, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
