Commons:Deletion requests/File:Logo Semantic Web.svg
Non-free logo. There is no justification for this at Commons, there is no need for it at Commons as it can be used at WP instead, under the terms of the W3C logo's licence. Andy Dingley (talk) 12:03, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
This is somewhat complicated as there are a number of derivatives of this logo, both here at Commons and at WP. Also see en:Wikipedia:Files_for_deletion/2015_February_21#File:Sw-horz-w3c.png where the issue of deletion of the WP version has arisen. Commons:Undeletion_requests/Archive/2013-12#File:W3C_Semantic_Web_Logo.svg is relevant too.
Logically, I can see only two consistent outcomes:
- Commons sees this cube logo as acceptable to Commons. It, and its derivatives, appear at Commons. As they are at Commons, there is no need for them on the WPs.
- Commons sees this cube logo as unacceptable to Commons. The cube and its derivatives are deleted from Commons. Copies are held on local WPs and used in the semantic web articles, as needed. This is justified under non-free content.
IMHO, the cube logo is unacceptable to Commons. It is licensed by the W3C here http://www.w3.org/2007/10/sw-logos.html#usage with usage restrictions that are tighter than Commons' free licence requirements. There is no "greater good" that Commons can appeal to, it's licensably as much as any project needs and can be held perfectly well per WP. There is neither need nor justification to have it here.

Keep It's {{PD-shape}} and under COM:TOO. --Rezonansowy (talk) 23:48, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
Comment And for the second file see COM:Undeletion_requests/Archive/2015-02#File:W3C_Semantic_Web_Logo.svg. --Rezonansowy (talk) 23:49, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
- That undeletion request for the composite image is just trying to haul itself up by the bootstraps. "Keep because the source image is kept" has some (OSE) logic behind it. However we can't then extend that into "Keep the source because a derivative was kept". Andy Dingley (talk) 10:43, 24 February 2015 (UTC)
- Source image is {{PD-shape}} and under COM:TOO. --Rezonansowy (talk) 15:00, 24 February 2015 (UTC)
- Yes, you've said that. I happen to disagree. Now can we get any other opinions to break the stalemate? Andy Dingley (talk) 17:12, 24 February 2015 (UTC)
Delete, not a "simple geometric shape". Stifle (talk) 16:29, 12 March 2015 (UTC)- Delete, as above, a licensed logo unacceptable to Commons, not a simple geometric shape. Cavarrone (talk) 20:10, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
Deleted, surpasses threshold of originality. Taivo (talk) 10:21, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
