Fair use rationale is plainly mistaken. While it does illustrate the subject, it is low-resolution, and it's plausible no free equivalent currently exists, the idea that no free alternative "could be created that would adequately give the same information" is plainly wrong. Even if Mercy is a copyrighted character and so no "free" alternative could exist, a much freer alternative could exist which isn't taken from Twitter without permission. A similar thing happened recently with Gardevoir fan art which was deleted. While non-trivial, it would be 100% possible to commission an artist or to create such a work oneself, making it "an example of sexualization of an Overwatch character in fan-produced media."

Delete Per nom. An artwork or cosplay photo released into public domain could serve the same purpose, so there is a "freer alternative" since this isn't just meant to show the design of Mercy. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 07:24, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and comment Not disagreeing with Zx that it can be replaced, but I feel a cosplay photo wouldn't fulfill the majority of what the article is discussing, which is about third-party porn being produced. Additionally artwork couldn't be released in the public domain in this sense for commons, as it'd be a rendition of a copyrighted character.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 08:08, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relicensing debate: this logo may be copyrighted in the Philippines due to non-existent threshold of originality standard (c:COM:TOO Philippines), but enwiki is not obliged to follow the not-so-Wikimedia-friendly copyright law of the Philippines, by the logic of Template talk:Freedom of panorama (US only)#RFC: Does US FoP apply to foreign works?. This logo must be relicensed to {{PD-textlogo-USonly|the Philippines}}, so that it can be reused in more articles on enwiki. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 05:16, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It appears this is not the 1978 film as I checked the link. In the credits, the cast/crew are completely different. Kailash29792 (talk) 09:26, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
