This file may fail Wikipedia's first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a free image might reasonably be found or created that adequately provides the same information, or which could be adequately covered with text alone.

Unless it is determined to be irreplaceable, the file will be deleted after Sunday, 17 November 2024. Please do not remove this tag.

Note : if you believe that a free replacement image cannot be reasonably found or created please add one of the following without removing this tag:
{{di-replaceable non-free use disputed|Your reason that a free replacement can not be found or created}}

Administrators: Ensure the claim of replaceability is sound and not legitimately disputed before deleting this file.

It is disputed whether this file violates our non-free content criteria. The reason given is: There is no free equivalent. This is the only image of the pin that was available via an online search. The image here was substantially adjusted, both artistically and by size reduction, so it does not impact the commercial viability of the art. Closing administrator: if the decision is to Keep the file please put {{Old replaceable non-free use}} on the file description page. If the decision is to Delete please archive the discussion on the talk page between {{subst:Archive top}} and {{subst:Archive bottom}} and delete the file page.
