Excessive non-free media, as there is already a free photo of The Physical Revue. Note that at https://physicstoday.aip.org/news/tom-lehrers-memorable-revue-session, the apparent source, this photo does not appear, casting doubt on the current source information. There's a non-zero chance this was published contemporaneously, but there is currently no evidence of such publication. Therefore, delete unless PD status is proven.

File:2026 Bekasi Timur train collision, 6024 car wreckage (2).jpg and File:2026 Bekasi Timur train collision, 6024 car wreckage (3).jpg are adequate free replacements. Based5290 :3 (talk) 18:15, 1 May 2026 (UTC)

Keep - Neither of the free replacements show the actual impact of the collision - which involved telescoping, and isn't visible in the replacements. CutlassCiera 01:05, 2 May 2026 (UTC)
Delete WP:NFCC#1 mandates Wikipedia to use free files over fair-use files, whenever they are equivalent. As Indonesian government photos are in the public domain {{PD-IDGov}}, there is a high chance that first responders took images at the scene. An overview of how did the two trains crashed could be identified with an SVG illustration like this or this.廣九直通車 (talk) 03:41, 2 May 2026 (UTC)
Delete Changed my stance (I'm uploader of that file) after searching the internet for photograph released by the government and found one, per 廣九直通車 recommendation. I just uploaded it to Commons (File:2026 Bekasi train collision Basarnas and Polri.jpg) and replaced the image in the article. - Ivan530 (Talk) 19:31, 2 May 2026 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was: keep. May well be eligible for a move to Commons, but that's another question. Consensus is clear that it should not be deleted from Wikipedia absent such a move. UndercoverClassicist T·C 16:43, 9 May 2026 (UTC)

The public domain status of this file is not correct. While the 1928 Steamboat Willie image is public domain, this is a photo of the 2002 Walt Disney Treasures metal tin. Per WP:TOO, the modern typography, signature reproductions, and graphic layout constitute a new creative work protected by copyright. Per COM:PACKAGING packaging is generally ineligible for Commons. I suggest we either keep this as non-free content on Wikipedia under fair-use rationale or delete it, but it should not be moved to Commons as public domain. Oona Wikiwalker (talk) 21:23, 1 May 2026 (UTC)

  • Keep: While COM:PACKAGING is correct that packaging is generally ineligible for Commons, there are exceptions. In this instance, US copyright law considers most typefaces - including basic ones like these - to be under the threshold of originality. The layout is a basic "title - image - ribbon" design, and the text is all generic statements (hard to read, but "a 2 disc DVD set includes 34 original Mickey Mouse black-and-white cartoons" does not approach the TOO threshold). I don't see the combination crossing the relatively high bar in the United States.   Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:11, 2 May 2026 (UTC)
    I might not have been clear. I am not advocating deleting the image. I just think it doesn't meet the bar to be accepted at Commons. Sorry if that was not clear! Oona Wikiwalker (talk) 17:00, 2 May 2026 (UTC)
    Fair!   Chris Woodrich (talk) 02:53, 3 May 2026 (UTC)
I'm offering this link from the Copyright office, not to weight the discussion to either side, but to help people make up their own minds and weigh in here. What is copyright? I hope it's helpful. Oona Wikiwalker (talk) 17:10, 2 May 2026 (UTC)
Move to Commons c:COM:PACKAGING is about the fact that packaging is generally copyrightable, but it is not always copyrightable. Photos of packaging which reside in the public domain may be uploaded to Commons. For example, photos of Campbell Soup cans (such as this one) which use the original design are permitted because this design has been in use long enough to have its copyright protection expire naturally.
In the United States, typography generally does not earn copyright protection, even for fairly complex typography (see for example the Cyberpunk logo, which was repeatedly denied registration). Therefore, neither the typography or signature reproductions are copyrightable elements. As @Crisco 1492 notes, none of the text is anything copyrightable, and the arrangement of text is not even original. Based5290 :3 (talk) 02:29, 3 May 2026 (UTC)
  • Only reason I didn't move to Commons when I reviewed this a while back was because I couldn't find a source. Would be nice to have it.  Chris Woodrich (talk) 02:53, 3 May 2026 (UTC)
I respect the consensus here. However, if this isn't resolved and months from now I come across it again while in the midst of allergies, I might not remember. I will try not to forget, but If I do something that seems to go against consensus here, this would be why. Please just let me know and I'll revert it immediately.
