 * Keep When I uploaded this image fourteen years ago, it was the only released image of the subject in question. However, in that time, I have come to learn that the program itself What's My Line was broadcast without a copyright notice and therefore immediately entered the public domain upon airing.  This image is certainly of better quality, and without a doubt should be the main image.  However, as one of his most well-known appearances, I think it still fits into the article and would do well to compliment the section on media appearances.

 * Thank you so much for the response. Since you mentioned that the episode doesn't have a copyright notice, it does fit Public Domain per "PD-Pre1978". Therefore, the image should be moved to Wikipedia Commons once this discussion closes. When I first opened up the discussion, I assumed it was a non-free image since it was only posted on Wikipedia. I further edited the copyrighted "Game Show Network" logo out of the image.  Yoshiman6464 ♫🥚 23:38, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

De-PRODded sample is used in Danger Zone (Kenny Loggins song) and Yamaha DX7. If the song article is an adequate commentary to justify such usage, then... I would accept. However, I hear only 17 seconds of instrumental opening, so I wonder whether it helps readers understand the song as it is. Maybe it should belong in the article about the synthesizer used in the song. I'm unsure whether deleting the sample detriments the understanding of the song and/or the synthesizer. I default to favor deleting the sample from the whole project, but I can welcome rebuttals and other opinions. George Ho (talk) 22:36, 4 June 2022 (UTC)


 * Comment: I'm the editor who uploaded this file. I uploaded it as an example of a famous use of a famous synthesizer, the Yamaha DX7, for the Yamaha DX7 article. Specifically, the file demonstrates the use of the synthesizer's "BASS 1" preset, which is mentioned (and cited) in the prose of the article. I thought it would be helpful for readers to hear the synth in context.
 * Legal stuff on Wikipedia is not my strong point, so I'll leave it up to other editors to decide whether this meets fair use criteria - I thought it did at the time I uploaded it, but I may well have been wrong. Cheers. Popcornfud (talk) 17:03, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ✗  plicit  23:42, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep meets all criteria. Clearly applicable to Yamaha DX7. I think Danger Zone (Kenny Loggins song) too is a valid use for such an iconic song. Buffs (talk) 04:17, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I recently replaced the OGG file (one segment) with the MP3 one (another segment). George Ho (talk) 23:39, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Pick one or the other. I don't particularly care which format. Buffs (talk) 04:34, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I already chose one segment, i.e. the one I uploaded, for the song article, and I think the other segment (opening one) may belong in the synthesizer one. George Ho (talk) 07:03, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
 * As long as one or the other is insufficient for both purposes, then fair use applies. Otherwise we really should stick with one or the other. Buffs (talk) 02:42, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
