== Question and advice regarding Moe's Southwest Grill logo ==
:@] {{tpw}} Perhaps, under your circumstances, you should start out writing a draft, perhaps in ] and then move it to mainspace when you're done, or if you want someone else to check the draft over before it's an article, ]ion. Though I have to agree with Explicit above. Knowing which article we're talking about will help greatly. ] ] ] 06:37, 5 December 2024 (UTC)


Hi Explict. I recently uploaded to the Wikimedia Commons a new logo of Moe's Southwest Grill (File:Moes Southwest Grill logo.png). On 21 November 2023, an IP user made an edit that removed that logo from the article. The edit summary, in part, stated, "Removed outdated logo." After I had uploaded the new logo, I noticed that you had deleted the Misplaced Pages-stored image of ] on 10 February 2024, with the rationale "F5: Unused non-free media file". Although I am unable to view it due to its deletion, the evidence above suggests that this was the previous logo of Moe's Southwest Grill. To me, the new logo does not qualify for copyright protection as it does not appear to meet the originality threshold required for copyright. The new logo appears to merely consist of text and geometric symbols (a box, three triangles, and a generic pepper symbol), although it appears certainly eligible for trademark protection. There seems to be some level of consensus that the pepper symbol (see the commons entry to File:Chili's Logo.svg) is not copyrightable. I could understand an argument the elements are combined in a way that would make it copyrightable, but for the reasons mentioned above, I don't find it particularly persuasive. Since you are the deleting administrator on the original logo and are an admin on Commons, I will defer to your judgment over whether the current logo is copyrightable or not. If you feel it does meet copyright protection and delete it from commons, I would like to upload the new logo to Misplaced Pages under fair use rational, unless you have any objections. Thanks! ] (]) 12:41, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

"Kalan" means to read/recite/teach/study while "mogo" means person. A student is called "karamogo den" (lit. scholar child) while a teacher is called "karamogo fa" (lit. scholarly father).

Hi Explicit. Could you take a look at ]? I think it's a reupload of the same file you deleted back in November. The licensing is almost certainly incorrect and the file's not being used anywhere; so, I don't see a way to convert it to non-free (at least not at the moment). I tagged the file with "npd" per F11, but this probably meets to criteria for F9. -- ] (]) 11:28, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

== File:Pop-weaver-22pack.jpg ==
I noticed that you placed a speedy deletion tag on the categories ] and ]. I would like to offer some reasons why these categories should be retained, as they highlight important aspects of diversity within the broader Indian-American community:
Recognition of Cultural and Regional Diversity:
India is an incredibly diverse country with distinct regional identities, languages, cuisines, traditions, and cultural practices. Categorizing individuals of South Indian and North Indian descent helps acknowledge these unique aspects within the diaspora, which otherwise might be overlooked in broader, generalized categories.
Better Representation:
These categories allow for a more granular understanding of how various communities contribute to American society. For example, South Indian Americans have made significant contributions in fields like technology and classical arts, while North Indian Americans are prominent in areas like politics and Bollywood-inspired media.
Facilitating Research and Accessibility:
Scholars, journalists, and readers looking to explore specific contributions or experiences of South Indian or North Indian communities in the U.S. will find such categorization invaluable. It ensures that resources and information are easier to locate and study.
Reflecting Diaspora Identity:
Many Indian Americans identify strongly with their regional heritage (e.g., Tamil, Kannada, Punjabi, or Gujarati). These categories validate and reflect the lived experiences and identities of people within the diaspora.
Consistency with Other Ethnic Subcategories:
Misplaced Pages frequently recognizes subcategories for other ethnic or national groups, such as ] or ]. The proposed categories are consistent with this practice of nuanced representation.
I believe these categories enrich Misplaced Pages’s diversity and inclusivity by acknowledging the varied and vibrant backgrounds within the Indian-American community. I hope this perspective provides a reason to reconsider the deletion proposal.
Looking forward to your response! ] (]) 16:22, 1 December 2024 (UTC)


Hi Explicit. Could you take a look at ]? No source or license was provided, but I'm guessing the image comes from some website (same image can by found on several websites like ). This almost certainly wasn't taken by the uploader; so, that makes the photo non-free. The packaging imagery as well is also likely non-free. The non-free photo in and of itself would most likely fail ] since a free photo or 2D non-free image could be used instead; however, the way the file's currently being used in ] most likely even means that a free or 2D non-free image of the packaging only would also fail NFCC#8. Should this be tagged with F4 or should it be tagged per F9? -- ] (]) 08:00, 16 January 2025 (UTC)

== Close of ] ==


Could you also take a look at ]? It appears to be a reupload of a file you deleted per F4 yesterday, and it might be a selfie given how it's being used. The uploader has also uploaded several other files without licensing or source information too (some have already been deleted) that probably need to be assessed. ] looks like it might be OK to convert to non-free, but I'm not sure the same can be said about ]. -- ] (]) 08:09, 16 January 2025 (UTC)
Does this close prejudice any decision to redirect the subunits to the main article per ]? There were no comments on them to my knowledge and the sources provided in the AfD doesn't provide enough coverage to justify a stand alone article for them. ] (]) 01:50, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
:{{Reply to|Traumnovelle}} It would probably be best if you made your proposal on the talk pages of the articles and pinging the AFD participants instead of redirecting them outright.

:::: Yes, it's implicitly assumed by many that the moment someone dies doesn't mean ] it met; a reasonable attempt still is expected to be made t find a free equivalent. Of course, just as many assume otherwise which is why you'll find non-free images sometimes being uploaded the same day some dies. There have numerous discussions about this at ], but they mostly end up getting nowhere because nobody can agree on the meaning of "reasonable attempt" or whether such an attempt is even necessary, and there are different ideas as to whether a bright-line time period after death should be specified or what it should be if one is specified. So, things are sort of stuck with the status quo where such images need to be discussed on a case-by-case basis. For many, the default is a non-free is OK in such cases until a free equivalent shows up regardless, even if there are F7b issues involved. Many, after all, still think "WP:NFC = fair use" and use the terms interchangeably even though that doesn't seem to have ever been intended to be the case or at least not the case since WP:NFCC became policy. -- ] (]) 05:10, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

Question and advice regarding Moe's Southwest Grill logo

Hi Explict. I recently uploaded to the Wikimedia Commons a new logo of Moe's Southwest Grill (File:Moes Southwest Grill logo.png). On 21 November 2023, an IP user made an edit that removed that logo from the article. The edit summary, in part, stated, "Removed outdated logo." After I had uploaded the new logo, I noticed that you had deleted the Misplaced Pages-stored image of File:Moes logo.png on 10 February 2024, with the rationale "F5: Unused non-free media file". Although I am unable to view it due to its deletion, the evidence above suggests that this was the previous logo of Moe's Southwest Grill. To me, the new logo does not qualify for copyright protection as it does not appear to meet the originality threshold required for copyright. The new logo appears to merely consist of text and geometric symbols (a box, three triangles, and a generic pepper symbol), although it appears certainly eligible for trademark protection. There seems to be some level of consensus that the pepper symbol (see the commons entry to File:Chili's Logo.svg) is not copyrightable. I could understand an argument the elements are combined in a way that would make it copyrightable, but for the reasons mentioned above, I don't find it particularly persuasive. Since you are the deleting administrator on the original logo and are an admin on Commons, I will defer to your judgment over whether the current logo is copyrightable or not. If you feel it does meet copyright protection and delete it from commons, I would like to upload the new logo to Misplaced Pages under fair use rational, unless you have any objections. Thanks!

File:Dumbdora3729.jpg

When deleting files per WP:F8, please ensure that Commons has the high-resolution copy of the file, not just the bot-reduced WP:NFCC#3b version. --Stefan2 (talk) 16:33, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

@Stefan2: I have uploaded the higher resolution. plicit 12:17, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

File:La malédiction de l'escargot, 2020.jpg

Hi Explicit. Could you take a look at File:La malédiction de l'escargot, 2020.jpg? I think it's a reupload of the same file you deleted back in November. The licensing is almost certainly incorrect and the file's not being used anywhere; so, I don't see a way to convert it to non-free (at least not at the moment). I tagged the file with "npd" per F11, but this probably meets to criteria for F9. -- Marchjuly (talk) 11:28, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

@Marchjuly: Hi, it is indeed the same image. The use of {{npd}} works in this case. plicit 11:57, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
Thanks for checking. -- Marchjuly (talk) 20:51, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

File:Pop-weaver-22pack.jpg

Hi Explicit. Could you take a look at File:Pop-weaver-22pack.jpg? No source or license was provided, but I'm guessing the image comes from some website (same image can by found on several websites like here). This almost certainly wasn't taken by the uploader; so, that makes the photo non-free. The packaging imagery as well is also likely non-free. The non-free photo in and of itself would most likely fail WP:FREER since a free photo or 2D non-free image could be used instead; however, the way the file's currently being used in Weaver Popcorn Company#Pop Weaver most likely even means that a free or 2D non-free image of the packaging only would also fail NFCC#8. Should this be tagged with F4 or should it be tagged per F9? -- Marchjuly (talk) 08:00, 16 January 2025 (UTC)

File:Jay Estiquita.jpg

Could you also take a look at File:Jay Estiquita.jpg? It appears to be a reupload of a file you deleted per F4 yesterday, and it might be a selfie given how it's being used. The uploader has also uploaded several other files without licensing or source information too (some have already been deleted) that probably need to be assessed. File:OctoArtsFilms2017.jpg looks like it might be OK to convert to non-free, but I'm not sure the same can be said about File:MTRCBSPG2012.gif. -- Marchjuly (talk) 08:09, 16 January 2025 (UTC)

File:Manmohanmisra.jpeg

File:Manmohanmisra.jpeg is another file you deleted that's been reuploaded. You deleted this or another file with the same name last August per F11. There's a claim of permission that this is a "family" photo received from photo subject's daughter, but there's nothing provided to verify that. This seems similar to what was claimed for the photo before. Do you think if this is the same photo that it's OK to tag with {{npd}} again or should it go to FFD this time around? FWIW, this is the same as File:In Cuttack -- late '90s rev.jpg uploaded to Commons by the same person; the Commons file, though, is being claimed as "own work", which is different from what's being claimned for the local file. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:16, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
