This appears to be a derivative work containing a trade mark and copyrighted image and therefore falls under the rules of fair use. As I am new to the Commons I may have interpreted the licensing policies incorrectly, however if I am right then there are other derivative works stored in Category:Famicom and variants. --85.210.104.79 13:00, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
Keep The artwork on this object is entirely pd-ineligible -Nard 16:09, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
- Looking at the {{PD-ineligible}} template the grounds for PD is that a work "consists entirely of information that is common property and contains no original authorship." While the common property element seems to be clear, the image includes a claim of copyright by Nintendo. Does the publisher and copyright holder not have a claim of authorship, or does authorship in this context have to be held by a named individual? 85.210.104.79 16:40, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
- Surely the contents of the disk are copyright Nintendo (which is what I believe the notice refers to), but if the cover artwork is not eligible for copyright it doesn't matter if they make a copyright claim, the law will not support it. I see a triangle and some generic words giving the name of the product. Other people may have different opinions, though, which is why we have these discussions. Other people may conclude the design is eligible for copyright. -Nard 16:52, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you for your comments. The reason I brought up this discussion is that to a Commons novice like me the image appears to break policy, but I am not familiar enough with the subtle nuances here to be sure. My comments are not intended as a defensive reaction but simply an attempt to understand the arguments so that I can learn from them. I have now managed to find the Commons:Non-copyright restrictions page which states that trade marks are not a problem for inclusion at Commons, though files that include trade marks should be tagged with {{Trademark}}. I have withdrawn the trade mark element from the deletion proposal. 85.210.104.79 17:39, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

- Keep The design of the disk itself is industrial design so that doesn't enter into it. The rest is just text. The only part that is somewhat artistic is the sword, but that is just a small part of the picture. // Liftarn (talk)
- Keep Scapes through. There is a logo here - but it's a small part of the image, and it's largely text. Megapixie (talk) 13:55, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
