For that matter, could this image have EV for Peace be upon him (Islam)? Spikebrennan (talk) 17:23, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support obvious EV and good design --Muhammad(talk) 03:17, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support due to EV and aesthetics; but mostly EV. I wonder if it would be prohibitively difficult to convert this to SVG, however... Purpy Pupple (talk) 03:19, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per Purpy Pupple. And a question - might it not also be of some use in Thuluth? I know that's a hair over-illustrated at the moment, but it might be more of a draw there. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 15:12, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment/suggest suspending The copyright status of this image isn't entirely clear. Though it is PD in Turkey (based on the author's date of death), the US doesn't follow the rule of the shorter term. (And it wouldn't have been PD in 1996, the key URAA date.) The uploader supplied no information about the date of publication of this image. If it was published 1923 or after, it would still be copyrighted in the United States. The book that it comes from is not available online. Does anyone who lives near one of the libraries where the book is held (see OCLC 51718704) want to go see if the book contains any additional information?

  • Support as long as the copyright issue is solved. Nergaal (talk) 16:29, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per above-- ♫Greatorangepumpkin♫ T 14:49, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support if copyright issue is resolved successfully, but oppose until that happens. --Avenue (talk) 11:41, 19 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Suspended pending copyright discussion. I will be raising this at WT:FPC. Jujutacular talk 06:13, 20 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Commons request resulted in the file being deleted, but it was restored locally. That said, it seems that we do not have enough evidence to be sure that this is PD, which would be required here for FP. I will be listing the restored local copy at WP:PUF.
