(talk page stalker) @Southoftheyarra: , non-commercial licenses are not allowed on Commons either. Dylsss (talk) 02:12, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi Southoftheyarra,

The Commons licensing policy explains in more detail about why files under a non-commercial and/or a non-derivative license aren't allowed to be uploaded to Commons.

Since I intially misread the footer when nominating the files for speedy deletion the first time, I've instead nominated both files for regular deletion, which is a process that allows 7 days for review.

Hi Harryboyles and Dylsss

Thanks for the explanation. I reached out to the user on social media. They explained that their website was updated recently and the wrong Creative Commons license was listed on the page. He explained that it has now been updated to correctly reflect an international license. I've since refreshed their page and the update is reflected in the footer.

It is now listed as Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.
