Declined NFCC#1 speedy. Non-free map showing an historic scenic route from the 1930s. May well be PD due to publishing history or non-renewal, but as long as it's marked as non-free it fails NFCC#1 and #8. Old maps are virtually always replaceable with self-made maps, and this one is no exception. The uploader has argued that it would be difficult to reproduce with modern mapping tools because the road layout of the city might have changed in the meantime – but to the extent that those changes might really have been so radical that a present-day map-maker couldn't identify the intended routes from this sketch any longer, the sketch would hardly be useful for the modern reader anyway. The fact that the map also depicts some of the sights along the way is obviously irrelevant under NFCC#8 – those sights can easily be named, enumerated and described in text. A sentence mentioning the publication of this map was recently added to the article as an afterthought, to provide a pretext for using the image, but there is still nothing in the article that hinges on seeing any of the detail of the map's design.

On the copyright status: updated versions of this map were reproduced and copyright-renewed in 1967 and 2006 per the LoC records. It appears the original copyright holder, the Down Town Association, folded into the SF Convention & Vistors Bureau some decades ago. Seems definitely non-free then short of an OTRS license, so I'd assume delete. --McMillin24 _contribs^talk 18:17, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The route could easily be reproduced; the ornamentation is interesting, but hardly necessary to communicating information (at a level that would be required for non-free use). -Pete (talk) 20:37, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Textbook violation of WP:NFCC#1, as outlined in WP:NFC#UUI §4. --Stefan2 (talk) 14:18, 17 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
