The result of the discussion was:
- Copyright Violation. Claims to be the logo of the G-14, when it is not (an example can be instead found here. Furthermore it is claimed it is fair use of an existing logo, when it is in fact an original composition by the uploader, partly composed of copyrighted football club logos (all of which are only allowed under fair use in the articles about the specific clubs here), and presumably a copyrighted map of Europe (having sleuthed on Wikimedia Commons I couldn't find an obvious candidate for its source). --Qwghlm (talk) 01:23, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy delete as copyvio. – PeeJay 01:46, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Qwghlm, I think you've taken the logo licensing too literally. Perhaps you should leave a message with the author to ask him/her about his'/her's original intentions. Looking at the image, the description and the licence it seems the author intended for the work to be released into the public domain (thus as a GDFL) but the work itself contains copyrighted logos. Since the logos were used to depict the location of the clubs, it would the author used the logo licence to try and comply with copyright regulations. As the map depicts the location of the clubs which are in the G-14 group (or were since the group is due to be disbanded) and the map can only be properly used in G-14 article (which of necessity is also an article relating to all the clubs that compose it) then the map doesn't seem to violate fair-use. I wouldn't guess on the copyright status of the map since there are almost countless maps of Europe on Wikimedia and it isn't a map of a fantasy world, so it isn't obviously a copyright vio. Why not point the author to the correct licencing after learning the original intent or perhaps encourage the original author to simply change the map and replace the club logos with markers for the locations and with the club names beside the location markers? Is there really need to delete images that could simply be corrected? 208.131.184.163 (talk) 04:06, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete in it's current form. Long standing practice is that logos of football clubs can only be "fair use" in the main articles about the clubs themselves. On this map, they're decoration. A simple labelled point on the map would be OK (assuming the basic map design used isn't copyrighted), this isn't. - fchd (talk) 07:45, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep G-14 would be disbanded. The image maybe abolished after they disbanded. I think this image could be one of the logos. Raymond Giggs 18:04, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - This image is not a logo of the G-14. Furthermore, even though the G-14 will be disbanded, the clubs that were a part of it will not be disbanded, so their logos are still subject to Fair Use criteria. Their use in this image is not covered by these criteria, therefore the image should be deleted, or at least edited to remove the club logos. – PeeJay 23:19, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- strong keep - No one ever said that this is an actual logo of the G-14. Rather it uses logo's from the partners of the G-14. These logos are all available on the English wikipedia, and therefore why not have them on a map of the G-14? Migdejong (talk) 12:38, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Note - The above member (User:Migdejong) is the original uploader of the image being nominated. – PeeJay 07:09, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Because the "fair use" protocols only allow us to display the logos on the primary articles about the clubs themselves. - fchd (talk) 14:00, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- No it does not. It allows us to use the logo's for "certain uses involving identification and critical commentary". That is what this image does. Migdejong (talk) 15:07, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I think you'll find that the Fair Use criteria do not cover the use of these logos in this image. Basically, the images are replaceable by text in this case, and are therefore decorative. If this image can be modified so that it doesn't use the non-free logos, then I will vote to keep it, but as it stands, this image is violating multiple copyrights. – PeeJay 23:19, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- No it does not. It allows us to use the logo's for "certain uses involving identification and critical commentary". That is what this image does. Migdejong (talk) 15:07, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong Keep - The image is useful in showing users which countries the clubs belong to. It should stay!(talk) 10:56pm, 17 January 2008 (GMT)
- Delete and replace with an actual logo, clear copyright violation BanRay 11:20, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - nowhere in the description does the author make any claim that this image is a logo of the G-14. The licensing template is clearly in reference to the individual logos themselves - "The clubs are depicted with their logo, on the aproximate location." Now, it's true there is no detailed rationale as is necessary for these images, but I think it's fair to say it would fall under the "certain uses involving identification and critical commentary" clause of the fair use law. ugen64 (talk) 01:45, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete: Don't be fooled, at the present day the USPS issues a great many stamps primarily to sell to collectors, and it's not necessarily the case that the person is being honored, so much as it is a sales opportunity. For instance, in this case, they needed a bunch of designs to fill out a miniature sheet. Many of the following stamps fall into the same boat - for many 1 out of 10 is there anything significant about the stamp appearance (such as alteration of a photo for political reasons, etc).

- Calliopejen1: Wikipedia itself has an entry about the notability of this stamp: Holiday stamp#Hanukkah stamp: "United States & Israel: The U.S. Postal Service issued a 32 cent stamp in 1996 as a joint issue with Israel.Israeli-American Hanukkah Stamp Hanukkah commemorates the revolt led by Judah Maccabee against the government of Antiochus IV in 165 BC. This initial printing produced 103.5 million stamps and in 1997 there was a re-issue." It is regarded as the first Jewish stamp issued by the US Postal service (1996) and noted by most experts and dealers in these kind of stamps, see The Chanukah Stamp: The First US Jewish Stamp : "The U.S. Postal Service unveiled a new series of "Holiday Celebration" stamps in 1996 with the debut of the first stamp commemorating the Jewish holiday of Chanukah, the Jewish Festival of Lights. The Chanukah stamp is the first U.S. stamp to recognize a Jewish holiday. Jointly issued with Israel, both countries feature the same design. The U.S. version contains the English spelling of "Hanukkah" and the Israeli stamp features the Hebrew spelling. The Chanukah stamp was designed by Hannah Smotrich, a graphic designer and instructor at the Corcoran School of Art in Washington, D.C., and Board Member of the Washington Chapter - American Institute of Graphic Arts. Smotrich created the stamp design using pieces of cut colored paper, a medium she has used to create cards for family and friends. Smotrich paid particular attention to the choice of colors for the candles and background "to emphasize the upbeat nature of a playful, joyous holiday." The U.S. Postal Service will issue a new Holiday Celebrations series stamp each year reflecting a different cultural or ethnic holiday. The Postal Service will print 142 million of the Chanukah stamps." Thus, that stamp and the year it was first issued, 1996, was historic, and was part of a turnaround, as explained here[2] :"...In 1962 the United States Postal Service issued Its first Christmas Stamp and has been issuing new and different Christmas stamps every year since then. Beginning in 1965 and every year (with 3 exceptions) since then the USPS has issued a Christmas stamp with a religious theme (predominately the "Madonna & Child"). After years of refusing to issue a Hanukkah stamp, citing specific religious reference as the reason (while claiming the "Madonna & Child" stamps were merely art masterpiece reproductions), the United States Postal Service issued its first Hanukkah stamp in 1996. This only after, in November of 1994, the USPS announced it would discontinue the "Madonna & Child" Christmas because of its specific religious theme. And, within a week "Bowing to public pressure" reversed that decision. I'm sure the "pressure" came from Catholic organizations. Although a U.S. Hanukkah stamp has been "available" every year since 1996 it had been the same design through 2003. It was recycled leftovers from the previous year, or a revalued version as postal rates increased. During the same period of time there was a new "Madonna & Child" stamp almost every year (the exceptions being 2000 just before a rate increase in January 2001, and in 2003 supposedly to reduce stamp production costs). In 2004 the United States Postal Service issued the first new Hanukkah stamp design since1996. During the same period of time the USPS issued seven new "Madonna & Child" Christmas stamps and eight new Chinese New Year stamps..." See also, THE QUEST FOR ANNUAL HANUKKAH STAMPS : "This site is devoted to the effort of having the United States Postal Service issue a new and different Hanukkah stamp every year it issues a new one for Christmas. BACKGROUND will give you a little history of the fight for the Hanukkah stamp. CONSIDER THIS some facts to ponder. Is it bias and discrimination? CRITERIA shows that the USPS follows or ignores its own guidelines to suit their own purpose. FUTURE STAMPS gives you the information the USPS has told me as to whether or not there will be a new Hanukkah stamp in the near future. It also gives you the Postmaster General's address if you wish to write him and tell him you want a new Hanukkah stamp every year..." and this from the Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs : "Israeli-American Hanukkah Stamp: ISRAEL POSTAL AUTHORITY PHILATELIC SERVICE: October 22, 1996: The "Hanukkah Stamp", the first stamp to be jointly issued by Israel and the United States, was launched on Tuesday, October 22, 1996. Communications Minister Limor Livnat said: 'For the first time, a stamp has been jointly issed with the State of Israel's greatest friend - the United States. This is an additional expression of our special relationship, the American people's esteem and appreciation for the Jewish religion and culture, and the two countries' shared commitment to each other. There is no holiday more deserving than Hanukkah to be commemorated in a stamp by two great democracies. It symbolizes the freedom of the Jewish people in the Land of Israel, which is the same freedom which provides the basis for American democracy.' The stamp has a drawing of a colorful menorah (special Hanukkah candelabra) with the Hebrew phrase - "A great miracle happened here" - on the tab. The Souvenir Leaf shows two stamps, one American and the other Israeli. The stamp is unique in that it is the first Israeli self-adhesive stamp. The Designer - Hannah Smotrich: Hannah Smotrich is an American graphic designer with her own studio in Washington, DC. A graduate of Harvard University and the masters program in Design at Yale School of Art, she is also an adjunct faculty member at the Corcoran School of Art. She has also lived and worked in Israel. The Hanukkah Holiday: The Hanukkah holiday and the lighting of the candles serve as a reminder to us, symbolizing the dedication of the Holy Temple following the victory of the Jews over the Greek Syrian forces, led by Antiochus Epiphanes, in the year 164 BCE. The Jewish rebellion against Greek rule broke out after Antiochus enforced edicts nullifying the religious beliefs of the peoples under his rule. Jews were forbidden to keep the Sabbath and conduct circumcisions, the Holy Temple was desecrated by idol worship, and the Jewish rituals previously conducted there were halted. The rebellion was lead by Matityahu the Hasmonean, a priest from Modi'in, and his five sons. After a number of battles led by Judah the Maccabee, the City of Jerusalem was liberated from the Greeks. The Hasmoneans purified the Temple so that the worship of God could resume. They purified the seven-branched oil lamp in which the priests burned oil candles, and found one cruse of oil which had not been rendered impure by the Greeks. Tradition tells that the oil in this single small cruse lasted foreight days. This is the Miracle of Hanukkah. The Hanukkah holiday falls on the 25th day of Kislev. Since ancient times, it is customary to light candles in an eight-branched menorah (or Hanukkia). One candle is added for each day of the feast, until eight candles are lit on the last day of the holiday. The menorah is placed in a prominent spot or near a window so as to publicize the miracle. The eight candles are lit with a special candle, called the shamash. The candles in the menorah are not to serve any purpose other than being seen. Special holiday songs accompany the candle lighting, the best known of them being "Maoz Tzur". Hanukkah is also known as the Festival of Lights and the Maccabee Holiday. Children particularly enjoy Hanukkah because of the holiday custom of eating doughnuts and potato latkes, fried in oil, to commemorate the miracle of the oil that lasted for eight days. The children also play games with a special Hanukkah spinning top and receive Hanukkah gifts. The lighting of the Hanukkah candles has become a symbol of the victory of light over darkness, of bravery and the struggle for freedom of faith and national liberty of a people in their homeland, the few battling against the myriad. The seven branched lamp has become part of the national symbol of the State of Israel." I hope this satisfies your need to "provide a reference so stating." as for your observation that " it is used in the article to illustrate "Blessings over the candles", and not near any discussion of the stamp itself" you will notice that the stamp depicts lit candles in a Hanukkah menorah (do you know anything about this holiday at all) and your observations about where the stamp is or should be placed in the article are totally ludicrous and it is hard to imagine that that is the reason you wish to have this stamp deleted. IZAK (talk) 14:55, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't object to this image appearing at Holiday stamp, where you just added it, so I withdraw my nomination if this image is removed from the Hanukkah article (because it does not significantly increase readers' understanding of Hanukkah). By the way, you need to ease up and assume good faith. You'll notice that I'm nominating lots of stamps for deletion where they appear in non-stamp articles, and I'm in no way picking on Jewish holidays or Hanukkah. I am perfectly aware of the significance of the holiday and what this stamp depicts. Calliopejen1 (talk) 15:15, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi Calliopejen1: At first I thought you may have been picking on this stamp, but I did later notice that you are nomination lots of others for deletion. At any rate the withdrawal of your nomination is appreciated but it makes no sense for you to condition it on it's removal from the Hanukkah article, when that is what the stamp is about, besides the Moenorah that it depicts, it declares "Hanukkah" so it's part of the Hanukkah article no matter which way you slice it. At any rate, after I found the above sources, it will now also be part of a Hanukkah stamps article. Thanks again, IZAK (talk) 10:49, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Although a derivative work, it is a donated piece of artwork belonging to the city of Yonkers. Deleting the image for this reason, would be like removing all images of the Statue of Liberty for "derivative" reasons.
