Non-free usage in "Scouting in Russia"
Non-free usage in "Scouting in Russia" seems to satisfy WP:NFCC since the file is being used for the purpose specified in its non-free use rationale. There's no infobox for the article, so the nfur needs to be tweaked, but the file does seem to be being used as the primary means of identification of all the scouting associations covered in the article. The article seems to be basically combination "List of..." and "History of..." for Russian scouting and WP:NFLISTS generally allows a single representative image to be used in such cases. The only possible NFCC problems might be with WP:NFCC and WP:NFCC because "from ORYuR website" is not really specific enough to verify either. Something more specific needs to be provided so that the file's copyright status/licensing can be verified and it is not deleted per WP:F4. More specific sourcing information might also help determine whether the file qualifies for Template:PD-Russia or Template:PD-RusEmpire. Maybe this should be moved to WP:FFD for further discussion. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:58, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
 * This one I really have to argue keep, because of the long history of Russian Scouting outside Russia during the communist period. This was the original Russian Scout emblem dating from 1910-1911, unfortunately living in Japan I am 5000 miles away from my source material, which was difficult to find even in 1990 when I unearthed it. Three modern organizations still used variants on the emblem, this is the mother version.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 07:25, 28 January 2016 (UTC)


 * If the date is correct, then this is PD-RusEmpire and PD-US-1923-abroad. The given source is poor, though. --Stefan2 (talk) 00:56, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
