Files in Category:Pengaroo[edit]

The photograph fails to meet the official guidelines of COM:TOYS, specifically:

When uploading a picture of a toy, you must show that the toy is in the public domain in both the United States and in the source country of the toy. In the United States, copyright is granted for toys even if the toy is ineligible for copyright in the source country.

The focus of this photograph is a toy for which there is no evidence of copyright status, something that could be easily rectified by WMAT checking the label. The hat has been sewn on to a commercial product, and the copyright should be assessed as we would any other figurative toy with a hat on it and partially obscured. Were this a Donald Duck or Kermit the Frog figure with a hat on, it would be an easier decision. The copyright holder for this toy should be afforded the same consideration as we would for the Disney corporation.

For an in-depth background and explanation of Commons copyright policies, refer to the Stuffed Animals essay and the precedent of prior closely related deletion requests:

  1. Petit tigre
  2. Erminig
  3. Wendy the Weasel & Percy Plush
  4. Wikimania 2014 Day 1
  5. Jimmy Wales meeting Mr Penguin

Symbol keep vote.svg Keep - This is a handmade one-off toy and the creator has already submitted several years a wide ranging permission for any photographs of it, by any person, to be allowed to be uploaded under any license.

@Wittylama: Ok, but what about all the other plushies in File:2017 European GLAMwiki Coordinators Meeting 01.jpg?   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 14:32, 2 August 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I can't speak for other toys. I am only the official spokesman of Pengaroo. You'll have to speak to their media-managers separately. Wittylama (talk) 14:47, 2 August 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]
That's not how Commons works for copyright verification. The release needs to be there on the image page, not require private chats elsewhere. --Fæ (talk) 14:58, 2 August 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Perhaps you didnt undertand me; I'll say it more clearly: I don't know.
THIS deletion nomination refers to images of Pengaroo, for which a valid permission/release notice exists for many years. I have no knowledge of, or interest in, the copyright status of other plush toys. Wittylama (talk) 18:15, 2 August 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Kept all of them because these images were nominated for containing the copyrighted character "Pengaroo" for which we have a perfectly valid OTRS release (see OTRS #2016100310013995). If you think anything else is copyrighted in any of these images, you should nominate this image with a clear and sound reasoning. Multichill (talk) 18:32, 4 August 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]
