Commons:Deletion requests/File:Bharatiya Janata Party (icon).svg
This particular file may be "own work", but it also may be a derivative work of en:File:Bharatiya Janata Party logo.svg. If it is a considered a derivative work, then I don't think that it or the files File:Bharatiya Janata Party (icon).jpg, File:Lotus BJP Symbol.svg or File:Lotos flower symbol.svg can be kept per COM:PCP, unless the original lotus logo shown at bjp.org is within the public domain. The BJP is claiming copyright ownership over all of the content (inlcuding its logo/symbol) appearing on its website, and there's no indication they've released the lotus imagery under a free license. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:48, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
- Just going to add that there are other similiar files of the party's symbol found in Category:Bharatiya Janata Party. These too would seem to be derivative works. If the original imagery is considered to be protected by copyright, then these may also need to be deleted. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:04, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
- Image licensing is not my strong suit, so I'm not going to opine on this discussion specifically. However, this particular symbol keeps reappearing on en.wiki, frequently after being uploaded by a drive-by editor. If this discussion determines that the symbol is inappropriate for commons, perhaps it would be worth requesting an edit filter, which flags images containing "political party symbol" and permutations thereof in the description?

Keep Because I think it is not a copyvio because it comes from a website with proper license.--√Tæ√ 06:52, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
- I think you're referring to File:Lotus BJP Symbol.svg. The source given for that file is openclipart.org/detail/179379/lotus-bjp-symbol, but the link is dead. That particular version of the BLP's symbol might be freely licensed, but the actual version of the symbol being used by the BLP (en:File:Bharatiya Janata Party logo.svg) doesn't seemed to be released under a free license. I'm not sure whether the clip art version is a derivative of the actual logo, or whether it's an unintentional case of COM:LL, even by the BLP iself if they got the image from somewhere else. -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:11, 16 May 2019 (UTC)

@Furfur: The fact that is has been printed on ballots is not a valid rationale. It doesn't mean that it's not under copyrigjt. --Arthur Crbz (talk) 16:04, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
- @Arthur Crbz: please look at File:India National Level Parties symbols.JPG. --Furfur ⁂ Diskussion 16:29, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
