(Malaysian Military?) flag, possible derivative of non-free content; no evidence that this is freely licensed  F ASTILY   07:56, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Hello there. The Johor Military Force, or JMF, is a military unit falls under the jurisdiction of Sultan of Johor. Established in 1886, you can say they are sort of Malaysian Army, however, under the control of the Sultan. Regarding the flag, the JMF has two flags, one for the JMF's Commanding officer and another one is for the soldier. The file above is the later. During the Sultan of Johor's coronation in 2015, both of the flags along with a bunch of other flags (e.g. districts in Johor's flags) was introduced to the public as one of the state's flags https://kemahkotaan.johor.gov.my/pengenalan/bendera-bendera/. A state flag is not copyrighted. Quickbar (talk) 13:14, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
 * According to Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Malaysia, works by the Malaysian government are copyrighted for 50 years. If this flag was introduced in 2015, then it is still copyrighted, and therefore non-free.  -  F ASTILY   22:22, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi again. Yes at first, I share same views as you. You can see from the history of the file which at first I set the flag as a 'non-free use' image. On 1 November 2017, the government of Johor has put all the 'State Flags' under public domain, however, it still need to follow the protocols (i.e. flag size, how/when/where to display the flag etc.) . Hope this helps. Quickbar (talk) 04:16, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
 * "flag size, how/when/where to display the flag" suggests restrictions on derivatives, which would make the flag not free enough for Wikipedia. Alternatively, you may convert the file to non-free, provided that a valid fair-use case could be made.  -  F ASTILY   08:33, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
 * "public domain" unambiguously means that there are no copyright-based restrictions. If something is in the "public domain, ...", then those conditions would be non-copryight restrictions, which we don't care about when assessing whether a work is free. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 16:32, 24 October 2019 (UTC)

 * Question This particular flag is not listed in the document you linked to, so what makes you think it is covered by it as a "State Flag"? I note that it's listed on the information page, but this is about the scope of the document releasing certain flags in the public domain. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 16:04, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep - This looks like it just needs updating to the fair use rationale. The article as it is has an overuse of non free images, and this one showing a lot of the characters might be more helpful. Some cropping is needed to get rid of the white space in the middle. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 13:58, 28 October 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep. Files with casts like this are the norm at the top of list of characters articles. I see nothing wrong with the rationale, either, and the fact that the uploader has been banned as a sock is not relevant here since the file itself is non-problematic. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 16:07, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

The file was used in articles Black Canary and Laurel Lance (Arrowverse). Don't think it's the file qulify with WP policy about fair use images of living people.

 * Keep. Actor in costume depicting the character in question in articles about the character. It's not replaceable with a free equivalent. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 16:00, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
