Comes from http://www.occupyoakland.org/ but it would not be surprising if the author(s) allow(s) it to be under a free license. Yann (talk) 06:13, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Use of this image on Wikimedia commons appears to be within fair-use guidelines. The image is sourced from the Occupyoakland.org website, on which posters are encouraged to be freely printed and disseminated. Furthermore, there is no claim of copyright on the website, the poster has no original authorship, it appears to be common property per the manner in which dissemination is encouraged, and appears to be entirely in the public domain. Also, this image is unique, and isn't able to be reproduced in a similar fashion or copy. The image serves to document the Occupy Oakland events.

Fair use is not allowed on Commons, but you may get a free license if contacting the author(s). Yann (talk) 06:15, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - If the image is not allowed in Wikimedia Commons because Commons disallows fair use images, then delete it. However, the nomination to delete also exists on the Wikipedia page here, despite the fact that Wikipedia allows fair use images. How should this matter be dealt with? Should the nomination for deletion on the Wikipedia page be removed, and only retained on Commons? Any input is welcomed. --Northamerica1000 (talk) 09:21, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The image you see on here is the one hosted on Commons. You need to upload it on Wikipedia here under a fair use claim. Yann (talk) 11:42, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The image you said was being considered for deletion on en.Wikipedia is only a mirror of the image uploaded on Wikimedia Commons. Marcus Qwertyus (talk) 14:33, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
