- Keep: My mistake. The youtube clip link was confusing. I should have checked under 'x_YS1vsojyE'. It is CC BY. I withdraw my nomination and have passed the image. --Leoboudv (talk) 09:15, 5 September 2017 (UTC)

This has similar problem as Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Files from narendramodiofficial Flickr stream. The President of India simply does not have the rights to release official Government of India work under CC-BY-SA license even if she/he wants to, unless the Government brings in a change in the law in Parliament (which most of us might be most happy about). This results most likely from unawareness of the law on the part of his PR team. Rahul Bott (talk) 11:05, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
- @Rahul Bott: please note the image uploaded by me is a screenshot from YouTube and not from it's website. As per YouTube support which clearly states YouTube allows users to mark their videos with a Creative Commons CC BY license. and legal code can be found here. Whereas the YouTube channel is official of The Honorable President of India which has been uploaded on the License of YouTube (there is no indication if there is fair dealing (Indian fair use) in the video or it's discription). --✝iѵɛɳ२२४०†ลℓк †๏ мэ 11:51, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
- Dear @Tiven2240: I understand all that. I did not raise any objections about your actions per se. Nor is there any problem with Youtube's licensing policies. I am contesting the Honorable President's rights to release a Government work under CC-BY-SA license in the first place, as this is not up to him. This is a case of wrong judgement on the part of the President's office. Please also have a look at the DR discussion mentioned above. -- Rahul Bott (talk) 15:50, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
