[[Commons:PS#File_not_legitimately_in_use|The policy]] clearly states that ''A media file which is neither realistically useful for an educational purpose, nor legitimately in use as discussed above falls outside the scope of Wikimedia Commons.'' If we really want to keep these logos, we need to change the policy text in order to prevent confusion. --[[User:Ilaiho|ilaiho]] ([[User talk:Ilaiho|talk]]) 22:12, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

::It might be admirable in some cases to have a zeal to apply the Commons:Scope policy, but as a matter of working practice here on Commons, users have generally been allowed to compose icons to express personal opinions on their user pages, as long as these don't get out of hand, and aren't blatantly hatemongering or defamatory, etc. Unfortunately, your nominations beyond [[Commons:Deletion requests/Uploads by user Straightlife|Uploads by user Straightlife]] seemed to be rather capricious and arbitrary (singling out a few images among many hundreds based on no clearly-ascertainable criteria), and on [[Commons:Deletion requests/Uploads by user Straightlife|Uploads by user Straightlife]], [[Commons:Deletion requests/File:No oil.JPG|File:No oil.JPG]], and [[Commons:Deletion requests/File:Screenshot-large-1-.jpg|File:Screenshot-large-1-.jpg]] you seemed to intentionally avoided mentioning what others would consider to be the main issues involved. Changing current ''de facto'' practices won't really be accomplished by launching deletion nominations against a few individual images out of hundreds (and some of those nominations seeming to be a little off-target).
