Unless the robot was created by the uploader, the image infringes on the creator's copyright. In order to keep the image, we will need a free license from the creator of the robot, see OTRS. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 15:28, 8 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This image has been around for a long time, and is in use on 3 articles, 35 different wikis and 139 pages in total. I suggest this DR allow for any extra time if the uploader needs it and might resolve the copyright concern, and that someone ferret out a potential replacement that can illustrate 'bots' should it need to go. -- (talk) 12:32, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Kept: I searched twenty five pages of google images and don't find a single toy robot that looks anything like this piece. Unless I can find a toy/sculpture/robot of which this is a DW, I have to COM:AGF and say this 2003 image is properly licensed. Ellin Beltz (talk) 17:08, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am the administrator who closed the prior deletion discussion "kept" but after reviewing Commons Category (of 536 images) named Category:Tin toy robots, I find this toy to be a "replica Atomic Robot Man" with the mention of "Schylling", perhaps a toy company? There are 23 images which are similar to this one, some are painted and others are plain, all begin with Schylling in the category. I think I was incorrect in my prior assumption that the robot itself was own work of uploader; and instead nominate this image for deletion because the creator of the robot would hold copyright of the toy for the usual period of time.

Yes, it's a company with a working search engine: http://www.schylling.com/k/search?q=Atomic+Robot+Man (119 results, your example is not in the first 25). –Be..anyone (talk) 23:37, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for the confusion, I see now that the robot is a Schylling toy, although I'm still unable to find this exact one on their current website. Ellin Beltz (talk) 10:00, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
