Files in Category:Cuteness

The photographs fail 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.

There has been no evidence presented that the toy(s) at the focus of this photograph, and named in the category or title, are public domain. Photographs where there is a potential de minimis rationale, and other items or people may be the main focus, have not been selected in this request.

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

• Note. This deletion request is misleadingly titled and only those files explicitly listed above have been nominated. Thryduulf (talk) 12:00, 5 November 2017 (UTC)
• Keep: File:Turtle plushie.jpg - this is in use on several wikis and I can find no attempt by the nominator to inform those projects that deletion is even being considered. Thryduulf (talk) 12:02, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

•  Info a request for an OTRS ticket review has been raised on COM:OTRS/N. However ticket:2014010410007074 appears to be transcluded in just one photograph. --Fæ (talk) 12:27, 5 November 2017 (UTC)
  • The photograph user:Fæ refers to above is File:Turtle plushie.jpg. I recommend that this be removed from this nomination unless and until it is confirmed that the OTRS agent was in error when they confirmed this file was free. Thryduulf (talk) 12:54, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

    According to the list on meta, you are an OTRS volunteer. If you do not have access to the Commons queue, perhaps you should request it. --Fæ (talk) 12:57, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

I now have confirmation by IRC that the ticket is about the photograph, and gave no confirmation about the copyright of the toy. @Wdwd: for information as the apparent OTRS volunteer who added the OTRS template. Thanks --Fæ (talk) 13:19, 5 November 2017 (UTC)
