Selected files in Category:Tux toys

[edit]

Based upon the outcome of Commons:Deletion requests/File:Linux-pingvin.jpg, I am nominating the majority of photographs in Category:Tux toys, avoiding images where a de minimis case may apply or where the toy appears home-made. Though the Linux penguin icon may be copyright free, it cannot be presumed that 3D soft toys based upon it must be copyright free. The requirement that must be satisfied to be hosted on Commons is at COM:TOYS which states:

When uploading a picture of a toy, you must show that the toy is in the public domain in both the United States and in the source country of the toy. In the United States, copyright is granted for toys even if the toy is ineligible for copyright in the source country.

Checking the manufacturer's label, or a verifiable assertion that one of the toys is home made, would be sufficient evidence but this must be added to the image page text to avoid future challenges. Unfortunately a number of these images have been hosted on Commons for several years. It would be courteous to alert potentially interested parties or re-users on other Wikimedia projects for additional viewpoints as not all will be active on Commons or watching these files. Similarly if someone requests an extension to the default 7 days to discuss this DR, I would support this being granted as a sensible conservative step.
