Fails NFCC#7 as the original image from the 1958 paper is in the public domain (see File:WugTest.png and external investigation). While the copyright status of this image is unclear, the original published wug test was not colored so this is certainly not the original and so can be replaced with a free and more encyclopedic image.

  • Comment The archived copy of the source mentioned in the file description attributes the image to "The Wug and Wug Test © Jean Berko Gleason 2006", which seems to refer to Berko's 2006 book mentioned in the Lingthusiasm Q&A. (Ironically(?), an excerpt of the article on McCulloch's blog seems to be the only version of the source that's still online.) Nardog (talk) 02:09, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • That was my guess, but I'd never seen that book. It's not clear whether adding color to the wug is sufficient transformation to reach the threshold of originality, but taken in context of the entire work (which was first publication for all the other stimuli except wugs) it may be. If not, then this would also be public domain since authors cannot exercise copyright over public domain portions of an otherwise copyrightable work.

  • Delete, not for copyright reasons (the original has what looks like a valid claim of being PD, this is merely a coloring-in of the original, and I don't believe that's enough to pass the threshold of originality) but because it's low-quality, unencyclopedic (because of its low quality and because it cuts off the top part of the image losing significant aspects of its meaning), and currently orphaned. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:35, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    I can't recall why it came out so awful but I was just too exhausted to figure it out. If you can make a better one that still respects NFCC that'd be great. (See the discussion linked from one of the versions in the upload history of the file.) EEng 09:26, 29 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    OK, I fixed the blurriness. EEng 00:14, 1 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Wait (see below) I've nominated the "PD" version for deletion Commons:Commons:Deletion requests/File:WugTest.png so let's not be hasty. EEng 09:26, 29 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Wait how long? Commons still has open deletion discussions that were started last February. —David Eppstein (talk) 16:51, 29 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    I forgot we were talking about Commons. EEng 03:25, 30 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Let it die a natural death in a couple days when it meets WP:F7d. If the discussion on Commons results in deletion, then we can upload a non-free version again, this time preferably in better quality—just because a fair-use image must be low-res doesn't mean it has to be so blurry. Nardog (talk) 19:21, 29 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    The blurriness has been fixed. EEng 00:14, 1 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Contrary to what the nomination says, the original test is in color, as shown in this file; the image in Word, where the research was reported, is in B&W because Word didn't print in color. I've corrected the article to reflect this [1], and as a result this file is no longer orphaned. EEng 00:14, 1 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Tagged as public domain as a work of the US Navy, but it appears to come from 1942 book, Britain's Wonderful Air Force, published by Odhams Press limited, which appears to be a private company. Wikiacc () 21:05, 3 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
