The FU rationale states used for "informational purposes", this is meaningless. Copyrighted image with no valid fair use rationale (talk) Fasach Nua (talk) 16:30, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, it is for informational purposes, and his of use to it's respective article (Ninth Doctor). Additionally, the fair use rationale is valid. Polarbear97 (talk) 16:56, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The FUR could use some tightening, but that is something that calls for a {{di-disputed fair use rationale}}, disputed fair use, tag not an immediate move to IfD. Beyond that, the FUR is valid, as are the uses. - J Greb (talk) 17:08, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as above. I'm not an expert on fair-use copyright, but I'm sure the rationale can be corrected, rather than just deleting the image. – Tivedshambo (talk) 17:24, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - fair use rational now exists, and it provides a useful purpose inboth the articles using this image. Stuart DD _{contributions} 18:16, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep Fair use rationale for both articles exist and are valid. Nominated shortly after I edited it... I'm sorry, but I cannot asume good faith anomore. Your pointless nomination spree has to stop. — Edokter • Talk • 19:23, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep, and stop wikistalking. Will ^(talk) 19:34, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - General observations:
1. There is a degree of good faith for editing to holding the non-free images being used to the standards of having clear and valid FURs.
2. Calling out a FUR, either because it's deficient or missing, generally relies on placing a mantince tag (mentioned above) that stays on the image until the FUR is fixed and is accompanied by a notice to the uploader and the page(s) using the image.
3. IfD should be held as a remedy for either images that are blatantly unusable (lifted from another encyclopedia, digitally edited to add/remove elements, etc) or are intractable and perennially un- or poorly FURed.

Did Fasach Nua jump the gun by going for an IfD first? Possibly, but given the back-history between that editor and the poorly handled images for the Doctor Who project (damn easy to find) that may be a reasonable expectation that such a tag would be removed without the problem being addressed.

Are Edokter and Will assuming bad faith and engaging in personal attacks. From the side lines, the first looks damn clear and the second damn close.

And a suggestion, if editors dislike seeing images they've uploaded tagged for problems or deletion, fix them so they meet the more stringent guides, be they project level or Wiki level. - J Greb (talk) 20:35, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tracing of PDF from http://www.londonmidland.com/app/webroot/files/cache/FINAL%20LM%20MAP%20FOR%20TIMETABLE.pdf (various curves and points match exactly). --Megapixie (talk) 04:11, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Wrong- This is a newer image. The image that was traced originally has now gone off the web. Dewarw (talk) 20:49, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. In my opinion, it's clearly a copyvio. I listed it as such here in October last year, but this was rejected at the time, possibly because the source image had moved and the external link no longer worked. Maybe I should have queried this at the time, but User:Dewarw had stated that it was in the graphics lab for improvements. However, it has now been over two months, and nothing has been forthcoming. – Tivedshambo (talk) 08:21, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Speedy Keep This image can be improved through the lab, but not if it is deleted. The lab have been very slow this year (I mean last year!) and nothing much was done. Please see the Beeching II map, the other London Midland maps, the Superlink map, and many more, for egs where a "copy vio" image was fixed. It all takes time, and I thank you for your continued patience.

I am now going to put it back in the lab as a new project. If it is deleted, I will be very annoyed! If necessary, remove it from all Wiki pages temporarily. But then do not send some "bot" after me saying it is orphaned.....! There is no reason why this images should be deleted until the replacement is ready. Once again I thank you all for your continued patience, something that you gave me for the Superlink image. I understand that it is frustrating (I have been annoyed at the lab myself!) but this should be cleared up soon.

Regards, Dewarw (talk) 20:48, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The image cannot be improved. According to the file history, it was clearly a conversion of one of LM's images, which would not meet WP:NFCC as schematic maps are considered replaceable - we can get away with the Tube map because it is iconic and we can say stuff about it. The second version looks to be a modification of the first one, which would make it an unlicensed derivative work, which would not qualify for fair use. If this interpretation of the two versions is correct, the image is permanently tainted and we cannot use it. Any map must either be drawn from scratch, or derived from a free work. 90.203.45.168 (talk) 17:32, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Update

Good news, the lab have started on a replacement- it is being redrawn from scratch. It will not be a copy vio (see similar images that I have put through the lab, such as Superlink, Beeching II, Central Railway, other LM maps etc.). THe reason why the underground map is on here, is the fact that it is a different version to the official one (redrawn).

Therefore, this should be cleared up soon. Do not delete the image until I leave a message on its page (and maybe here), requesting its removal. Dewarw (talk) 17:46, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image deleted. Wikipedia cannot host copyright violations. When you have a version that will pass muster upload it and go forward. -Nv8200p talk 01:24, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's already in Commons. but it's without author (Uploader can't be the author, unless he said) and it can't be under GFDL without the author (Which is called "History" in GNU).--O s a m a K 17:00, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

I asked an admin at Commons at #wikimedia-commons , "Is it intelligible for copyright?" He said it not. And he advice me to "notice his uploader at English Wikipedia, then let's see what can we do at Commons"..--O s a m a K 18:01, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Delete. No information about source or author. If it's too trivial for copyright, it should say so, rather than claim that it is licensed under the GFDL. -- RG ² 07:01, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
