I was looking through this 2010 revision: https://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Queen_(band)&oldid=360203019

There is a paragraph that describes the logo. The deleted file was fair use, but it was removed with the excuse that there is no critical commentary about the logo. If there was a paragraph describing the logo, why was it not considered “critical commentary”? 2601:404:D000:B915:E865:EC2B:D95D:E799 (talk) 16:33, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There was some discussion at the time in edit summaries and on this talk page, which you can now find at Talk:Queen (band)/Archive 8#Queen Logo. Once the image was removed from the article, it was deleted as an "Unused non-free media file". GoingBatty (talk) 17:11, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The part that doesn't make sense is that there was a paragraph describing the logo, so if there was no free equivalent, why couldn't the fair use logo illustrate the paragraph? The users that removed the insignia did not acknowledge the paragraph describing the logo. 2601:404:D000:B915:C27F:C747:B939:8038 (talk) 17:46, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that the paragraph describing the logo was not sourced at the time. GoingBatty (talk) 00:36, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
