Author/Copyright Holder's Name: St. Mirren Football Club

Article To Be Used On/Reason For Upload: St. Mirren F.C., because the current image that is there does not have the correct colours. The checkered pattern and the cups should both be a Royal Blue colour instead of the purple that is currently depicted. The crest is based on the Paisley Coat of arms: http://www.ngw.nl/heraldrywiki/images/a/a9/Paisley.jpg RBrNx277 (talk) 10:57, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

 Comment: - RBrNx277, the link provided does not appear to be functional, and if it were, is a google drive link and does not establish that the desired image is in official use for the organization. Please provide a working link to the image requested, as well as links to establish current official use. If these links are not provided this request will be closed as declined.

• Comment: The link works for me. However, we already have a logo on Wikipedia - File:St Mirren FC logo.svg. The colours are slightly different from the one linked above, and our colours seem to be the same as the ones on the club's website. --Stefan2 (talk) 22:38, 11 September 2017 (UTC)

Article To Be Used On/Reason For Upload: Current Sytner logo on company page is outdated - logo change three years ago

 Comment: - The current link does not appear to be working. Further, the link is to a drop box location and does not serve to establish that whatever is purportedly linked to is in current use as the organization's logo. Further, the requesting user has been blocked as a promotional account. They may request a name change in accordance with our username policies and amend the request with the necessary information. If this is not done this request will be closed as declined. TimothyJosephWood 14:05, 21 August 2017 (UTC)

• Comment: The link works for me. The article Sytner Group currently has a different logo, File:Sytner Group Logo.gif. The company's website uses the logo proposed by the uploader, but in different colours. Which logo should be used in the article? --Stefan2 (talk) 22:44, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
  • The company's website's logo is more official than a dropbox link's logo in my opinion. --47.151.26.64 (talk) 18:11, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

Article To Be Used On Iraqi beauty pageants

Maxkris88 (talk) 09:50, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

 Comment: - This is a comparatively minor point, but one that pretty much sinks the fair use rationale. If the article is about "Miss Iraq", then it should be Miss Iraq. If the article is about "Iraqi beauty pageants," that is, about a general topic and not a specific organization, then that's fine, but it means that the logo fails WP:NFCC #8, since the omission of a specific logo, on an article about a general category of thing would not be detrimental to an encyclopedic understanding.

Deserted Movie Theatrical Release Poster.jpg

Description: This image is the official theatrical release poster for the movie 'Deserted' starring Mischa Barton, Winter Ave Zoli, Trent Ford, Dana Rosendorff, Lance Henrikson and Jake Busey. The film was released theatrically October 6, 2016 and was released on VOD February 28, 2017 on FlixFling, Amazon, iTunes, Dish Network, Time Warner, DirecTV, XFinity, Verizon FiOS and more. The films available in the United States, Canada, Japan, UK, France, Australia and Sweden.

License: Fair Use Request. This theatrical release poster falls under the category of "Acceptable Use" for 'Images" under "Item 4" where it states "Other promotional material: Posters, programs, billboards, ads. For critical commentary". There is also no free equivalent that would serve the same encyclopedic purpose. This image has been used widely in association with the film Deserted to help people identify the content, and I believe it will continue to serve that purpose on wikipedia.

 Not done - MischaBartonfan1: Non-free content may only be used on published articles, and cannot be added to drafts. The draft has been declined as recently as yesterday. You will need to request the image once the draft is accepted and published. GMG^talk 14:02, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

User:GreenMeansGo, the article was declined at AfC on 21 September but then improved and subsequently accepted on the next day. The article is now at Deserted (2016 film), so I think that the request should be accepted (provided that the poster is correct – I haven't double-checked it). --Stefan2 (talk) 23:00, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
