Orphaned non-free image File:Arabeyes logo.png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Arabeyes logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 03:01, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Since that just consists of slightly stylized Arabic-language text, it doesn't actually meet the copyright threshold for originality (though it could be and probably is trademarked). So, this could just be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons instead. The templates to use for licensing there would be {{Pd-textlogo}}{{Trademark}}. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 14:16, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
