This file should be tagged PD-US, have its old revisions undeleted and be and moved to Commons.

Obviously, the original Steamboat Willie film was published in 1928, and is thus in the public domain in the US. This poster is an image from that film, plus the words "WALT DISNEY'S MICKEY MOUSE in STEAMBOAT WILLIE." The addition of the words is not copyrightable.

The only potential copyright in this image would be in the colorization of the frame (if anything). But see this news story about a Mickey Mouse poster from 1928 with this color scheme (reportedly the oldest poster of the character).

Since the color scheme was extant in 1928, there can be no valid claim that the colorization has its own copyright. The color scheme existing on a 1928 poster makes this image, to whatever extent it is new (as a synthesis of the two 1928 elements), below the threshold of originality.

File:Modern Mickey Mouse.png

 * The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more files. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the file's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this section. 

The result of the discussion was: keep. At issue is the the replaceability of the the modern image of Mickey Mouse with a free version. There is no dispute on the existence of free images of Mickey Mouse. The key question is whether these free images would serve the same encyclopedic purpose. The non-free usage rationale for this image states this is being used for visual identification. So the question of replaceability hinges on whether a free image can serve as visual identification. The case for keeping this image for visual identification points to the modern image as the most widely known by our readers. Two alternate sources have been identified. There is the Steamboat Willie version of the image (c:File:Mickey Mouse.png), and there are derivative images from a 1928 poster (c:File:Mickey Mouse Color Stock Poster (Celebrity Productions era, 1928).jpg, c:File:Mickey mouse.svg). The case for removing this image for visual identification points out that Disney have made use of the Steamboat Willie image in the animation studio logo so it is not obscure and unknown, and the poster version of Mickey is sufficiently similar in appearance. Give that either of these free images would allow reader's to identify Mickey Mouse, this image does not meet WP:NFCC for the purpose of visual identification.

During the discussion, the issue of use of the image as part of the changes to the character depiction was brought up. FFD does consider if changing the non-free usage rationale would bring an image in compliance with policy. The case was made that this image is covered by the commentary about the changes to the character's design. The article does cover the design changes, and does not have this version of Mickey Mouse illustrated in the design. Used in this manner, the image would be compliant with the non-free content criteria. The non-free rationale's purpose would need to reflect this usage. Whether this image appears in the infobox, or in the body of the article is an editorial decision outside the scope of FFD. Whpq (talk) 03:57, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Keep there are significant stylistic differences between Steamboat Willie Mickey Mouse and the modern one. The Steamboat Willie Mickey Mouse would not be obviously recognisable to a reader. — MATRIX! (a good person!)&#91;citation unneeded&#93; 12:00, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep per Matrix. 1989 (talk) 16:31, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep as per above. BaldiBasicsFan (talk) 16:32, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep This does not violate WP:NFCC#1, the key part being "...that would serve the same encyclopedic purpose." DM Bradbury  22:15, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep as per above. -MJ (talk) 22:26, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep as above; no violation of WP:NFCC#1, as DMBradbury points out —  OwenBlacker (he/him; Talk) 23:07, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete I feel this could be replaced by a user-colourised version of the Public Domain Steamboat Willie rendition of Mickey. At the end of the day, they are all the same cartoon mouse we all know and love as he's that recognisable so I say that this non-free rendition is redundant now that a freely available rendition of Mickey exists. Slender (talk) 01:59, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I think legal advise may be needed to go that route. I'm not a lawyer, but Mickey's current color scheme seems like it could still be protected. DM Bradbury   04:40, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
 * See c:File:Mickey Mouse colored.svg, which was derived from a public domain colored poster of Steamboat Willie per above. JohnCWiesenthal (talk) 05:57, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
 * That is derived from the 50th anniversary poster, which would not be in the public domain. DM Bradbury   07:15, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I revise my earlier remark, did some more research this morning. It looks like there is a poster from 1928 that the 50th anniversary edition was based on (though the hat in the SVG is blue instead of green?). Interestingly enough, there is also another version of Mickey with yellow gloves. I still don't think this violates WP:NFCC#1, but it is good to note these things for the future. DM Bradbury   20:45, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete agreed with Slender, the file could be easily replaced and the character is recognizable enough that the differences wouldn't change much. XanderK09 (talk) 02:50, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep per Matrix. Sebbog13 (talk) 04:51, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep The page has several images detailing the character's design changes over the years, even if it's not as drastic as some characters have changed it wouldn't make sense to keep only pics of his oldest version, or to only delete this image while keeping other non-free images showing Mickey's evolution. Ringtail Raider (talk) 05:27, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
 * It looks like it's pretty tied for keep vs delete and I sorta agree that the white faced version is pretty recognizable still, so I'll just say if delete wins, I think it's best to use an image that isn't the one of him with the hat and steering wheel – as I said in another comment, it's not that representative of Mickey outside of Steamboat Willy, and I've already seen enough misinformation about him only being PD if he has the hat. But it is still an iconic shot so idk. Ringtail Raider (talk) 01:49, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete, at least as the image in the infobox. An argument could be made that this image could instead be used to provide critical commentary on the changes over time, but its use in the infobox is justified as "For visual identification of the object of the article" and "Any other image that serves as the same purpose the current image does would also be copyrighted" and this is just not true. --Yamla (talk) 15:06, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep: one of the most iconic fictional characters, so multiple iterations of it are significant. There is plenty of referenced commentary on the character's design(s) in the article. — Bilorv ( talk ) 17:18, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep: this is already a significant image in its own right. While the first is now in public domain, modern audiences would recognize the modern design more. Davidng913 (talk) 18:36, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep. A representation consistent with what people are likely to encounter out there in the world in the 2000s is important to an encyclopedic treatment of the subject. Including an older, public domain image for comparison is worthwhile, but it doesn't replace or serve the same purpose as a more modern image. -Pete Forsyth (talk) 20:43, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep The modern design of the character is what's relevant for 99% of readers. The old design is of no value in the infobox.★Trekker (talk) 20:43, 2 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Keep, There are a variety of Designs for the Mouse, & the current image is in line with NFC guidelines because the Steamboat Willie image is not a suitable replacement due to how different & dated it is. MrNoobNub2 (talk) 22:20, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep. Elements like the colors, exact design, artstyle, etc. are present that 1928 Mickey Mouse drawings do not reflect. -B RAINULATOR 9 (TALK) 01:40, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep. Using a dated version of The Mouse would hinder ease of identification for the average user. PyropePe (talk) 03:52, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete as per above. Jarrod Baniqued (he/him) (talk) 06:45, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete the infobox usage. The character is recognizable enough that the PD version can be used for visual identification. NasssaNsertalk 06:54, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep unless the public domain image is coloured. The modern character is recognized by his red trousers, which the black and white image lacks. Eiliv (talk) 21:32, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete The character hasn't changed beyond recognition since his 1928 iteration (and also it's not like the Steamboat Willie version is obscure or anything; Disney has long continued using that version of the character in their animation studio's production logo). We can use the public domain image of the character for the infobox, and there are plenty of other non-free examples illustrating later designs throughout the article, and this image would be redundant to those others, so there's no point in keeping it. silviaASH  (inquire within)  08:01, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete per silviaASH, these images seem similar enough to me. * Pppery * <sub style="color:#800000">it has begun... 19:00, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete for these purposes, keep if the image can be reintegrated in a fair-use manner elsewhere in the article - Mickey Mouse isn't a character like Amy Rose whose design changed so drastically between Sonic CD and Sonic Adventure as to be barely recognisable. The only real difference between the Steamboat Willie design and the modern design is the addition of red shorts and white gloves. Additionally Steamboat Willie is probably the most famous theatrical short Mickey Mouse has appeared in. I see no reason why a later image of Mickey Mouse should have to be used to illustrate the character's appearance in the infobox. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 06:44, 5 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Comment We have the colored File:Mickey mouse.svg now. Skyshifter   talk  16:26, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I do have a few questions on this particular replacement. There is also File:Mickey Mouse colored.svg which we have a clearer legal sense of. NasssaNsertalk 07:03, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
 * DeleteThere are no significant differences between the modern and early Mickey except for the color and eyes. --Bedivere (talk) 17:19, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete no added value, PD version is immediately recognizable, serves the same purpose. Hekerui (talk) 01:35, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep per Matrix. Nintendoer64 (talk) 01:53, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete because we have File:Mickey mouse.svg. Skyshifter   talk  13:54, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom, as the free version File:Mickey Mouse.png serves the purposes of identification and illustrating the character's appearance. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 00:23, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I think the problem with the Steamboat Willy images people are suggesting as replacements is the inclusion of the hat. It's an iconic part of the short but it's not really representative of Mickey outside of that. I've even seen some people claim the free version of Mickey can only be with that hat, despite him only having it for the first minute. Ringtail Raider (talk) 03:11, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete per HumanBodyPiloter5. I was expecting to be a keep on this, since the article has an entire history about the evolution of the character's design and moving the newly PD version into the infobox would probably mean moving this version into the section about this design. That doesn't seem to be the case though, nothing in the "Television and later films" section suggests that this specific version is important, and there's nothing in the "Design" section that's not already covered by other examples. Matrix's rationale doesn't make sense to me since a lot of their recent designs are close to the original Steamboat Willie version: the last theatrical cartoon version from Get a Horse!, Paul Rudish's version, and the flipbook intro for all recent Disney animated films (which is literally from Steamboat Willie). hinnk (talk) 21:39, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Keep per Matrix. Though I agree that there are similarities between both the modern and classic styles, using the Steamboat Willie design would be a drastic change, since some characteristics of that design (the coloring, gloveless hands, and hat especially) can be different enough that they do not reflect his normal appearance in most media. However, Skyshifter suggested an image that better reflects his normal look and a colored version of the Steamboat Willie design is on the wiki (the head of which is currently used as the icon for the Disney portal), which could be good alternatives to replace this image since they match his modern look well. 100.16.23.137 (talk) 02:01, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Based on geolocation information and timestamps, the above four IP addresses are likely operated by the same person. Please be aware this is considered an inappropriate use of alternative accounts. Ixfd64 (talk) 03:59, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep his modern design has some non subtle differences, such as gloves, eye detail, and shoes, all of which we know modern Mickey for. Oh and no, I don't count coloration as that is the result of limitation.

 * Comment This discussion has been open for way longer than the normal period without a relist. NasssaNsertalk 13:03, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep - Wikipedia should use the most recognizable version of the character available. Considering the many changes that Mickey Mouse has had over the years, especially considering those changes have been discussed in reliable sources anyway, the image is useful for the project as a whole.

So this file was an overwrite of File:Memorial plaque to Professor Porfiriev - Institute of Geological Sciences, Kiev.jpg which was originally at File:Desk.jpg before it was moved (see log). The original file (File:Memorial plaque to Professor Porfiriev - Institute of Geological Sciences, Kiev.jpg) was PD-self, then this file overwrote the original file. I would think that by overwriting the original file, the author (User:Jcorbet4) released this file as PD-self. However, disagrees, hence I am listing this at FFD. Cheers, — MATRIX!

 * Delete per Salavat. Additionally, to the point in the nomination, merely uploading a file to overwrite an existing file, which happens to carry a certain public domain claim, does not strike me as sufficient to constitute a release under that claim.

This image (which initially represented the standard edition of Keyshia Cole's Woman to Woman album) is rarely used in certain markets, platforms or even when the album is being discussed, as the deluxe edition cover (File:Keyshia Cole - Woman to Woman (Deluxe).jpg) is rather used instead nearly every single time. I think this file should be deleted and replaced with the other file that represents the deluxe edition as a result. Fullmoon211 (talk) 12:33, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep pending discussion on article's talk page. This is a discussion for the article's talk page (and perhaps associated WikiProjects). Once a determination is made what image best illustrates the article, administrative action can be taken to support that consensus. -Pete Forsyth (talk) 20:45, 2 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Keep because the deluxe edition cover was recently speedy deleted after being a recreation after a deletion discussion, Files for deletion/2012 October 12. The covers are also similar enough to only justify having one per WP:NFCC and the original version is preferred per Template:Infobox album. Also, this discussion was not nominated correctly, the file was never tagged with the template about this discussion, the original uploader was never notified and since the image is still in use, the article was not tagged with a caption leading to this discussion.
