These files are licensed using {{non-free album cover}} and they each have a non-free use rationale, but I am wondering if they cannot be converted to {{PD-simple}}, tagged with {{Trademark}} and then moved to Commons instead. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:18, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

For our purposes and US servers, yes, definitely {{PD-text}}. But if the albums come from the UK, their commons:Commons:Threshold of originality#United Kingdom is super low. Also not sure if that fourth cover is distressed as part of its scan or as part of its design. Photographer's rights might come into play in the former case, and artist's rights above PD-text in the latter case. I'll relist for more feedback. czar 18:03, 12 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep as failing threshold of originality. UK law does not come into it as Wikipedia only considers US law. However, Commons would consider both – so tag {{do not move to Commons|reason=USonly}}. Stifle (talk) 18:07, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

File:WXIX News 1993.png (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by Mxn ( | contribs | uploads | upload log). 

Non-free screenshot being used in WXIX-TV#News operation. File has a non-free use rationale, but this type of usage seems decorative and to not provide the context required by WP:NFCC#8. I had originally tagged the file with {{di-disputed fair use rationale}} and the file's uploader did add a more detailed caption and a source to try and address my concerns; however, the main justification for non-free use seems to be that the station changed it's branding on a certain date. The sentence "The station changed its on-air branding from '19XIX' to 'Fox 19' and its news branding from '19XIX News' to 'Fox 19 News' on April 22, 1996, nearly ten years after becoming a Fox affiliate." seems perfectly understandable pre WP:NFCC#1 without the use of this screenshot. There is no sourced discussion of this particular screenshot it the article which would require the reader to see it to understand what is written. This is similar to adding a former logo to an article and saying that it the fact that it was once used is sufficient to satisfy WP:NFCCP. If there were specific sourced commentary about this particular screenshot withint the relevant section which significantly improved the reader's understanding of the subject, then I could see how removing it might be detrimental to that understanding and how non-free use might be justified. Lacking this kind of connection to the article content, I think usage is primarily decorative and the file should be deleted. -- Marchjuly (talk) 23:42, 18 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If the recently added caption isn't sufficiently connected to the image to justify including the image, then I agree the image should be removed and deleted (keeping the caption and citation in the article, of course). Thanks for the detailed explanation! I do think former logos enrich the TV station articles but understand that they push the limits of fair use too far. TV stations often have print logos that consist of simple line drawings – nothing more than stroked text. In the future, I'll seek out those logos from archived local magazines or newspapers and redraw them as public domain SVGs for Commons. – Minh Nguyễn ^💬 01:50, 19 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Mxn, if you can crop out the background and leave just the logo, it will be {{pd-textlogo}} (free use). czar 18:15, 12 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The source of the file states "This image was digitally recreated by myself from available images from vehicles with the logo applied" So the logo was obviously made by the uploader and wasn't actually taken from the Magicbus website,
As far as I know we should only use logos that were taken from the website as there may well be inaccuracies with logos made by anyone (ie font size, colour, font type, etc etc),
