 * This file is a watercolor depicting the German submarine U-352 authored by the boat's former commanding officer, Hellmut Rathke. There's a claim on the file page that permission was obtained from the U-Boat Archive, but I doubt they possess the copyright. There's no evidence provided for the file's actual copyright status; I would think it rests with Rathke (who died in 2001 unless proved otherwise. This file is used in two places, German submarine U-352 and Torpedo Alley (North Carolina), without rationales. There are conflicting claims on the file page that the file is GFDL or, alternatively, CC-3.0, but no proof is provided. The artwork is not discussed in either article.--Mackensen (talk) 02:24, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Convert to fair use for the U-352 article, remove from Torpedo Alley. As the sub has been destroyed, no new free image of the ship can be obtained, only of the shipwreck, which would be like photographing someone's skull for their portrait image posthumously. -- 70.24.250.26 (talk) 08:13, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete as blatant copyright violation. There are more than enough free images available of this car. --Biker Biker (talk) 07:36, 13 November 2012 (UTC)


 * The photo now has the correct Licensing (Non-free promotional). The press release can be found here http://www.audi.co.uk/about-audi/latest-news/new-audi-s3-with-300ps-and-40mpg-bound-for-paris.html This is being used in an article and therefore falls under 'editorial use', as specified by audi themselves. --Tacita620 (talk) 19:16, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry but it is still a non-free file and can easily be replaced by other free files, so it needs to be deleted. --Biker Biker (talk) 21:34, 14 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Furthermore, the 'metadata' of this picture (can be found at the bottom of the image page) lists the copyright status as in the 'public domain'. --Tacita620 (talk) 20:20, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
