Commons:Deletion requests/File:Flag of Teton County, Wyoming.gif
No indication that this has been released by the original coyright holder as licensed. File is sourced to "Flags of the World" (FOTW). While FOTW might allow copyrighted content to be uploaded as fair use, Commons doesn't per COM:FAIR; so, I don't think this can be kept per COM:PCP unless original copyright holder status/authorship is verified to be FOTW or the file's uploader. COM:LL (even if done unintentionally) is also relevant with respect to this file and FOTW uploads in general, just like it is for Flick'r, YouTube, and other websites which primarily cater to user uploaded content. This file most likely wasn't originally created by the person who uploaded the file to FOTW, but the copyright is instead held by Tenton County per this. Just because somebody uploaded a gif version of the flag to FOTW shouldn't mean that the original copyright is no longer valid. For sure there might be cases where the original imagery is either too old or too simple to be protected by copyright, but that doesn't really apply to this file. In addition, even FOTW's general license doesn't seem to allow for commercial or unlimited derivative use; so, that would also not seem to be acceptable per COM:L so even if this was 100% user-created and the uploader is the original copyright holder, it can't really be kept per PCP.
There are quite a number (more than 100) of similar flag files sourced to FOTW uploaded by the same editor which probably also need to be assessed as well for the same reason. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:03, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
