No non-free use rationale given (source is http://eddsworld.wikia.com/wiki/File:RL_LG.jpg). Only used in userspace – fails WP:NFCC#7 and WP:NFCC#9. I'm not sure if it meets the threshold of originality though. nyuszika7h (talk) 10:55, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Hard to tell if it meets the threshold of originality. It's a simple design, but it's based on the distinctive hairstyle of a character, which may imply enough creative intent to be protected by copyright. I'm leaning delete without a fair use rationale. clpo13_(talk) 17:24, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- This is copyrightable, no idea about File:Profilepicgame.jpeg. What does the picture show? --Stefan2 (talk) 22:28, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The original author Edd Gould died, in 2012. But the show remains? $2012+70=2082$ GameBoy232 (talk) 18:10, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The picture is currently unused. Does it have any foreseeable use on any page? If not, then it wouldn't hurt to delete it regardless of its copyright status. I note that the file information page violates WP:LINKVIO. --Stefan2 (talk) 22:28, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I suspect it would be copyrightable as it's not exactly a common shape, much like File:Prince logo.svg is, which is cited on commons:COM:TOO as an example of a work that was given copyright registration by the US Copyright Office.Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 17:20, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. It may be a copyright infringement, but even if it isn't, it's a completely unused file that serves no purpose on Wikipedia. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 12:59, 22 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure why we have two identical files. It should be possible to delete this one and redirect it to the duplicate (File:Ambox protection.png). Stefan2 (talk) 15:04, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

All these files are shadowing similar (but more recent) seals of the Provinces of Philippines. According to Commons C:Template:PD-PhilippinesGov these files are not copyrighted. However the same template warns that it is not always the case. Also, this license conflicts with our license Template:Non-free Philippines government. In a nutshell, Republic Act 8293 basically is saying "Our gov files are in the public domain excepting for non-commercial uses". Both templates have been nominated for deletion C:Commons:Deletion requests/Template:PD-PhilippinesGov, C:Commons:Deletion requests/Template:PD-PhilippineGov, and Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2016_January_21#Template:Non-free_Philippines_government, and both were kept. Because of this, what we should do for these files? © Tbhotch^™ (en-2.5). 20:48, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Commons considers the law provision acceptable while Wikipedia considers it unacceptable. I suggest that we do nothing with individual files until the problem is sorted out. The local files and the Commons files have the same copyright status, and regardless of whether the files are free or unfree, we would still use them in the articles about the locations. --Stefan2 (talk) 22:24, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Non-free former logo being used in Central Penn Capitals#Logo gallery. A non-free use rationale, but this type of decorative usage in image galleries is generally not allowed per WP:NFG. The logo itself is not the subject of sourced commentary within the article so the contextual significance required by WP:NFCC#8 is lacking. Suggest remove if the NFCC#8 concern is not properly resolved. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:11, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The image rationale is adjusted for its present use with the brand. —ADavidB 14:15, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The rationale was changed, but that does not fix the NFCC#8 problem of decorative usage because the image is still being used in a gallery and is still itself not the subject of any sourced commentary within the article. -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:00, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've moved the file out of the gallery, into the associated section of the article. —ADavidB 02:34, 10 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: based on the changes described above —ADavidB 14:49, 1 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The file still fails WP:NFCC#8 at the location in the article where it has been moved since the logo itself is not the subject of commentary in the section which it is placed. Steel1943 (talk) 21:37, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Non-free logo being used in Central Penn Capitals#Logo gallery and 2015 York Capitals season. A Non-free use rationale is provided for "Central Penn Capitals", but file is no longer being "as the primary means of visual identification at the top of the article dedicated to the entity in question", so the contextual significance required by WP:NFCC#8 is now lacking since the logo itself is not the subject of any sourced commentary and decorative usage in a gallery is typically not allowed per WP:NFG. Suggest remove from "Central Penn Capitals" unless the NFCC#8 issues are properly addressed.

Usage in "2015 York Capitals season" fails WP:NFCC#10c since a separate, specific non-free use rationale is not provided and also (possibly) NFCC#8 since team logos are typically not allowed in individual season articles per Nos. 14 and 17 of WP:NFC#UUI, unless it can be shown this was the first season the logo was actually used. So, suggest remove unless a valid non-free use rationale is provided and the possible NFCC#8 issues are resolved. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:24, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The 2015 season was the first (and only) season this logo was used – the team used the previous entry's logo with prior seasons – but I'm not sure how that can best be 'shown' for the needed purpose here. —ADavidB 09:23, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A separate rationale is now in place for the season article. —ADavidB 10:41, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The image is removed from the gallery in the team article and placed instead within its related section. —ADavidB 02:37, 10 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Overwritten file: two in one.

File uploaded on 24 November 2014: No evidence of permission, see Special:PermanentLink/669025988.
File uploaded on 28 June 2015: Low resolution, inappropriate file format. A higher resolution copy in a better file format exists at File:A photo of a Sound Blaster Z sound card.jpg. Stefan2 (talk) 23:18, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as a duplicate preferring File:A photo of a Sound Blaster Z sound card.jpg as a higher quality version. clpo13_(talk) 23:21, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
