Old Erie SeaWolves logos

The result of the discussion was: Keep; there's extensive discussion of the logos, the understanding of which is really enchanced by the presence of the logos. Dianna (talk) 14:05, 6 April 2013 (UTC)
 * File:Erie Seawolves logo.png ([ delete] | talk | [ history] | links | [ logs])

These four logos were nominated for deletion with a di-disputed fair use rationale tag, but from reading the text, I think it's sufficiently arguable to bring them here for a fill discussion. All four images are in a gallery at Erie SeaWolves, but the text discusses the logos in such a way that you can certainly make a case that their use is appropriate. (Please don't simply !vote "delete fails WP:NFG" without actually reading the section of the article.) There's about five paragraphs of text discussing the logos of this organization so it's at least arguable enough that I'm not just going to delete them unilaterally. --B (talk) 00:26, 29 March 2013 (UTC)


 * keep If you think that there's a point in talking about old logos, then it seems to me obvious that one must see the old logos. Mangoe (talk) 14:46, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

Orphan image is lower quality near duplicate of File:StrawberryFrogLogo.png‎. We don't need both. As the other is higher quality, this should be deleted. -- Тимофей ЛееСуда . 00:29, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete I never really agreed with the idea that this is PD. And it seems that whatever we gain by considering it as such would be outweighed by the company's lawyers sending us a takedown and 20 pounds of legalese with what they consider precedents on the matter. I just don't think it's worth it. That said, yes, this is "larger" but lower quality version of the other one I uploaded, so I agree that it should go. Whether we consider the version we're left with to be fair use or something else is a discussion for another time and place. § FreeRangeFrog croak 00:34, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Whether or not you agree that it is public domain is moot. The company owns the trademark (which is different than the copyright), but since it is simple text and no more, it cannot be copyright because it does not meet the threshold of originality.  See Commons:Commons:Threshold of originality if you are interested in why it is Public Domain. -- Тимофей ЛееСуда .  02:15, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, you're entirely correct that the logo is not subject to copyright protection. But it is potentially subject to trademark protection and I think that's what FreeRangeFrog was getting at.  Trademark is arguably a stronger protection than copyright.  I've never been comfortable with telling people that trademarked logos are "public domain".  If I had my druthers, we would treat all trademarked logos like "fair use" images and lack of copyright would only be an issue when you are making a derivative work (like photographing a bunch of diet coke cans or something).  I fully recognize that this is not policy and is purely my opinion - but it's not something to ridicule either. --B (talk) 03:28, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

 * One of the few things I actually know about is document imaging. The reason that this image appears to be squashed when rendered by MediaWiki is that most fax software uses an uneven dots per inch (dpi) - such as 100x200 - when sending the image.  A number of photo editing programs (and, apparently, MediaWiki software) do not properly read the dpi setting and detect that it is uneven.  That's why you see the PDF rendered as squashed on here - if you open it in Acrobat, it looks fine.  If we really want this image, we can extract it from the PDF and fix the DPI very easily. --B (talk) 13:30, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

I just uploaded this image, but the fair use criteria dont allow for fair use photographs of sculptures where the image was taken by someone other than the sculptor. This doesnt make sense to me, so i am bringing the file here to get clarity. note the sculpture has been destroyed, so no new image can be acquired. Mercurywoodrose (talk) 05:54, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I think what you may be referring to is the idea that there are two separate sets of rights to consider - the sculptor's copyright of his sculpture and the photographer's copyright of his photograph. If a photograph depicts a copyrighted sculpture, we can only use it under a claim of fair use, but we still need to use a photograph that we have rights to use. --B (talk) 11:47, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
 * exactly, but the upload wizard gives me 2 choices: photo is licensed as free use, or the photo was taken by the owner of the copyright of the sculpture. I couldnt find a way to upload a fair use image of a copyrighted sculpture.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 20:13, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep - Why would we want to go with a higher resolution image? The first falls more in line with WP:NFCC with its minimal use, and the new file is much larger that is needed for the infobox. Inversely, I recommend File:TFC Boxart.png for deletion. --Teancum (talk) 12:30, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. As Teancum notes, increasing resolution is not a good thing for non-free files under WP:NFCC. I can't see any reason to use an image larger than 300px. The file is still only rendered at 256px in the article, and no non-free image really should be that much larger (if at all) than its use in the article. Likewise support deletion of File:TFC Boxart.png. -- Sabre (talk) 12:38, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

Violates WP:NFCC and WP:NFG. You don't need a photo of a belt to understand a competition. See also the previous belt FFD nominations for the same article. Stefan2 (talk) 18:03, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep- You're being silly. There is no free alternative. This is as "free" as it gets, seeing that I took the picture. Feed  back  ☎ 18:08, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
 * WP:NFCC has nothing to do with free alternatives. WP:NFCC means that you could understand the article just as well without an image of a belt. That's why several other non-free photos of the belt were removed from the article recently. See Files for deletion/2013 February 19. --Stefan2 (talk) 18:11, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment - If there is no free license to use belt images, then there should only be one image in the infobox - that of the belt's current design. Preferably, it should be a free image with the current holder of the title in full view along with the belt. It may also be necessary to eliminate the "previous designs" parameter, as having multiple images would be contrary to WP:NFCC. --Jtalledo (talk) 18:37, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
 * But this is not an article about the belt, though. Do people really use belts for identification of competitions? Normally, I would assume that you use logos for that purpose instead. If the belt isn't used for identification of the competition, then I don't see how it would pass WP:NFCC. --Stefan2 (talk) 19:13, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
 * WWE Championship refers not to a competition, but the title of WWE Champion as well as the physical belt associated with the title. There is no "logo" representing the WWE Championship, but rather the belt represents it. Fair use or not, not having a picture of the physical title would be like having the article Stanley Cup without the actual cup. A logo for the NHL Finals would not suffice in that context and nothing else could take the place of the title belt in the WWE Championship article (although, as I said previously, a free use picture of the current or other recent champion in possession of the belt may suffice). --Jtalledo (talk) 19:47, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I agree the article that this is being used for not about a competition but the title itself which the belt clearly represents. This is no more an article about a competition than the Vince Lombardi Trophy article is an article about the Super Bowl.--64.229.164.74 (talk) 20:34, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
 * By Stefan2's logic, File:Superbowl Trophy Crop.jpg should also be deleted. Unless I'm horribly misunderstanding something here. Feed  back  ☎ 19:56, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment The purported copyright issues of belt images makes little sense to me at this point. FIFA World Cup, Stanley Cup and Rugby World Cup all utilise freely licensed images of their respective trophy designs. All are featured articles and would not be up to spec if there were any outstanding copyright issues. Unless anyone is prepared to challenge the image licensing of those pictures and so to the featured status of all those articles, then any point about deleting belt images from the Commons should be moot. --Jtalledo (talk) 02:40, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh man, you definitely don't know Stefan2. Once he gets a load of that comment, you can kiss those pictures goodbye. Feed  back  ☎ 04:03, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep Special for Stefan2. This article is not about COMPETITIONS. It's about the belt and about how it looks like, about belt's names, designs. There were no competitions for the title in the classic meaning of word "competition". WWE is not something like NHL or NBA or Allsvenskan, there're no tournaments for the title with quarter-, semi- and finals, there're no a lot of matches. Only one match for the championship, so it's hard to say that this may be called COMPETITION. --TnoXX (talk) 17:38, 31 March 2013 (UTC) — TnoXX (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Considering that this is User:TnoXX's very first post, it seems very suspicious. I think Delete is an appropriate action here, the tiny images of the "past design" belts seem to be a bit like a gallery, and clearly not necessary for a reader to understand the article. — raeky  t  17:55, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

 * This is my very first post, 'cause I'm not writing in English wiki, but Ukrainian. And it's a little bit hard to stay away, although I'm not from en-wiki, 'cause I created ukrainian version of "WWE Championship" article and all this deletions of the belt files complicate the writing of the article. Moreover, there are some strange of arguments about COMPETITION, when it's even not. So, I'm not trying to make some cheating here, but ask you to deal with all these "deletion problems" as soon as possible. Thank you! --TnoXX (talk) 18:48, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Your story checks out. My bad for the accusations. But frankly, the pictures discussed here can only be used on En-wiki, so it's pretty much irrelevant for Uk-Wiki. This same picture was on Commons, but it was already deleted, and until Commons works out its WWE problem, I don't think I'll re-upload it there. For now, it stays here. You have my permission to re-upload it on uk-wiki, but you'll have to discuss it's fair use rationale over there. Feed  back  ☎ 19:21, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I know that this file can be used only in English wiki, but actually I wrote this, because all those previous deletions are very annoying and I've just tried to explain that was wrong. I hope that soon it will be better situations and you will be able to re-upload images back to Commons or there appear new ones. It will help to improve all articles 'bout the belt. Didn't want to insult someone but tried to help. --TnoXX (talk) 19:52, 31 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Comment It seems that I misunderstood the purpose of the WWE Championship article. However, per WP:NFCC and WP:NFLISTS, it seems inappropriate to have photos of multiple belts, so there should only be one in the infobox. I don't know anything about the image rules for Ukrainian Wikipedia. About the other images, it seems that some of the designs are very old and that they are in the public domain because of age. One image has been nominated for deletion on Commons because there neither seems to be permission from the designer nor from the photographer. --Stefan2 (talk) 12:55, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

 * You can't include non-free screenshots unless exclusion would be detrimental to the understanding of the article. In this case, you can see what one of the character looks like by reading the article Eleventh Doctor, and the other character is substantially similar to the freely licensed photo in the article Toby Jones. Also, there is no discussion about what the characters look like in the article, so that is irrelevant for the understanding of the article. See also WP:NFCR. --Stefan2 (talk) 13:03, 1 April 2013 (UTC)


 * WP:NPA. We of course appreciate the effort you've put into the article but you're just hurting your own credibility by making ad hominem remarks. Regardless, I agree with Stefan, the use of the image adds little to the reader's understanding of the article. Images of both actors can be found in their respective articles, and this image adds little to that. Samwalton9 (talk) 01:37, 2 April 2013 (UTC)


 * In addition to an online encyclopedia, the foundation has also created a Futurama-style bureaucracy second to none anywhere in the world. No matter what the article, issue, or image there's a committee of people ready to pick it apart piece by piece.  I'm sure you all feel quite satisfied now that you've all had a chance to pile on and issue your opinions.  Go ahead and delete it, why should I have expected anything different?  Wtbe7560 (talk) 19:42, 2 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Don't take this personally, editors have to come to consensuses on topics like this, Wikipedia is edited by everyone and should include content appropriate to the guidelines and accepted by the majority of editors as relevant and accurate. Some editors being skeptical about an edit or upload made is a good thing, and an open dialogue like this is not a bad thing. Making personal and expletive attacks at other editors is a bad thing; you've been insulting and dismissive in this discussion.
 * Regardless, no consensus has been reached yet. If you would take some time to lay out an argument for keeping the image, people might agree with you. Telling another editor to fuck his or her self will not encourage anyone to agree with you. Samwalton9 (talk) 13:38, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

Presumably related to the deleted article Dustin Case. No foreseeable use. Stefan2 (talk) 18:53, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. Assuming that article is the only place it was used (seems likely with the file upload date and article deletion date), I see no reason this should be kept. Samwalton9 (talk) 01:30, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

The photo is from a newspaper website, so it might violate WP:NFCC. Stefan2 (talk) 19:00, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
 *  maybe keep  Resolution is rather high, but this another "can we take a picture of someone who has just died?" case. There is a rationale. Mangoe (talk) 19:06, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Photos from commercial sources may almost never be used. See WP:NFC §7. A fair use image may be appropriate for this article, but it should be one which doesn't violate WP:NFCC. The problem with the high resolution can of course be adjusted by simply reducing the resolution a bit. --Stefan2 (talk) 19:10, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
 * The photo is credited to the Times's own photographer, so I don't see how the AP clause applies here. Mangoe (talk) 20:18, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
 * The issue isn't which particular commercial content provider it's coming from - it's that there's no "fair use" defense for using the photo of someone who is in the business of licensing photos because our use of it directly competes with their business. Forget Wikipedia for a moment.  Suppose that you are in the photography business - you take photos of notable people or events and sell them to newspapers.  How would you like it if newspapers simply quit paying you for your photographs and started claiming that they could use them without paying by claiming "fair use"?  It's obviously an untenable idea.  (No, I can't point to any court cases because it's such an absurdity that it would never get to court.)  If this image is really from the newspaper and not just something that actually came from the family, there's no fair use defense here. --B (talk) 01:58, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm OK with that reasoning, but that basically kills the "reasonable expectation" determination. There is always money to be made, and we can thus never use an image we didn't make or which wasn't outright given to us, unless it's old enough. Mangoe (talk) 03:02, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, no, there's no problem with using images where the family or the subject's business or organization owns the copyright. They're not in the business of licensing photos, so our proposed use doesn't compete with them.  Obviously the reality is that going after Wikipedia probably isn't worth the time/effort for most people and we could probably get away with doing anything ... but we choose to respect copyright and if we're choosing to respect copyright, we shouldn't be claiming "fair use" for something that clearly isn't and that if we were doing things legally we'd have to pay royalties for.  --B (talk) 11:31, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

Credited to Photolure, which appears to be a press agency. The image violates WP:NFCC and WP:NFC §7. Stefan2 (talk) 19:03, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
 * It's low resolution and I don't think we violate Photolure's rights. -- Ե րևանցի talk  23:56, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
 * The rule is very simple: press photos can only be used if there is critical discussion about the photos themselves, for example in the article Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima. This is not an article about a photo nor is there any critical discussion about the photo. --Stefan2 (talk) 13:05, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
