| Date of publication | circa 1966-1971 |
| Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) | Chairman Mao badge |
| Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) | It will illustrate what a typical aluminium and plastic Chairman Mao badge looks like, without which it is very hard for the reader to understand what such a badge looks like. |
| Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1) |
The only PD alternative is an image of a porcelain badge, but this badge is atypical, and would give the reader a misleading impression of what an ordinary Mao badge looks like. |
| Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) | Single image of the front of an aluminium and plastic Mao badge to be used in a single article dedicated to this subject. |
| Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2) |
An estimated total of between 2 and 5 billion Chairman Mao badges were produced during the Cultural Revolution, and were all given away not sold, so they were not a commercial product. Moreover, the original producers of these badges are either unknown or defunct. Images of Mao badges are widely available on the internet and in publications. |
| Other information | The file was originally uploaded to Commons, but deleted as a derivative work of a possibly still in copyright image of Mao Zedong (see Commons:Commons:Deletion requests/File:Mao Badge 12.jpg. However, if the photograph of Chairman Mao that the badge image is a derivative work of was first published more than 50 years ago then the badge will be out of copyright under Chinese copyright law. |
