{{vd}} Pretty obvious copyvio, unless someone can research the logo and prove it's not actually copyrighted. This is a possibility, but it's absolutely not something we can assume. --[[User:Simonxag|Simonxag]] ([[User talk:Simonxag|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 22:30, 30 August 2009 (UTC) |

Original uploader (to Flickr) selected cc-by-sa 2.0 as a license, but this is a derivative of a copyrighted work (logo) and the uploader does not obviously have relicensing authority (see Colonel Reb for reference). NathanT 01:52, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
Keep They don't have a copyright on old men in red suits and as this one is much different than the Ole Miss logo one, I don't see a problem. Ole Miss' logo includes the words Ole Miss and Rebels. Colonel Reb itself is not copyrighted. And who's nomming this for deletion anyway? Nathan or Avruch? I see Nathan above but Avruch left the notice on my talk page. - ALLST✰R▼echo wuz here 04:14, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
- I just hadn't changed my sig since my rename. The "old man in a red suit" in both images is obviously the same character, even without the context clues of "Ole Miss" and "Rebels" on the image - that makes it is a derivative work. Use of a derivative is typically governed under fair use, unless the license of the original allows modification and redistribution. I'm assuming since the original logo (on en.wp, uploaded by you?) has a fair use rationale, it wasn't published as cc-by-sa 2.0. NathanT 13:22, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
