We typically don't use non-free images to illustrate general concepts. I believe this diagram can be replaced with File:Vasimr.png on Commons. Ixfd64 (talk) 01:35, 30 January 2025 (UTC)
- Delete, replace with free alternative per nom. Buffs (talk) 04:26, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

The subject of the article is not an artist, and her artistic skills are not described in terms of reliable sources. Removing this image will not harm the encyclopedic value of the article. WP:NFCC#8 & 1 — Ирука13 03:39, 30 January 2025 (UTC)
- I have since verified that this was published with no copyright notice (I have a scan of the journal's title page which I can supply if needed to demonstrate this) so I have uploaded it to commons under {{PD-US-no notice}}, rendering this Fair Use version on enwiki no longer needed and this discussion moot. RoySmith (talk) 15:42, 30 January 2025 (UTC)
- Neither the journal's title page nor this page would usually have the copyright notice. It's usually in the first 2-3 pages. Buffs (talk) 16:57, 30 January 2025 (UTC)
- Sigh. I went to a library which had the journal in their stacks. I held in my hands an original physical copy of it and personally looked through the pages searching for a copyright notice, which I did not find. RoySmith (talk) 18:06, 30 January 2025 (UTC)
- Never said you didn't. Just saying that's not where it would be. Sounds like it didn't have a notice. That was pretty common at the time. Buffs (talk) 18:30, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

- Since the file turned out to be free, I will not object if any editor closes this discussion and lists the file for deletion as WP:F8. — Ирука13 18:43, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

- Keep/retag while the source page claims "The Bryologist © 1932 American Bryological and Lichenological Society", I believe this to be an assumption. Neither The Bryologist nor Sketches of Entosthodon Nesocoticus appear in the registered copyright archives of the US Copyright card catalog...it's a fun look, you should try it. Ergo, it is in the public domain as it failed to retain copyrights of said images. Apply {{PD-US-not renewed}}. Buffs (talk) 16:55, 30 January 2025 (UTC)
- alternatively Delete/redirect if already on commons. Buffs (talk) 18:32, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

Questionable if the logic of Leicester v. Warner Bros. is applicable for this case. According to this blog, the current building was built in the 1960s, but this stained glass in particular dates to the 2002–03 renovation; in effect, not the original integral part of the 1960s building. Since it was not the original part of the 1960s architecture, the FoP use granted by Leicester v. Warner Bros. isn't applicable in this case. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 06:40, 30 January 2025 (UTC)
- It doesn't have to be part of the original architecture to be part of the current architecture so, if it were in the US, it certainly COULD apply. However, since this is in the Philippines, it doesn't. If it's not PD and we keep it, we're going to need to reduce the resolution. This is definitely a question I haven't assessed before. I'd like to hear more from others. Buffs (talk) 18:38, 30 January 2025 (UTC)
- The fact that this is in the Philippines is not the issue here. English Wikipedia uses US freedom of panorama law for buildings per {{FoP-USonly}}. IronGargoyle (talk) 18:46, 30 January 2025 (UTC)
- Keep. Leicester v. Warner Bros. was primarily about whether architectural details created by someone other than the architect are allowed to be reproduced by freedom of panorama (they are). Renovations or remodels do not restrict the scope of US panorama freedom, and that is fundamentally what this is: Replacing one window in a building with another is a renovation.
