This image only illustrates a gag from the episode. The gag is just one of many fun things Homer did on his day off, and is completely removable to an outsider's understanding of the episode. There is already an image from the episode illustrating Homer with God, a more salient point of the plot. As the caption says on that image, there is discussion in the article about God's appearance on the episode and what it meant (if anything) that he had one more finger. In comparison, this image is just to illustrate a joke in the plot section, and is probably more suited to the standards of Wikia (Fandom) rather than Wikipedia.

Remove from 2026 Formula One World Championship per WP:NFCC#8. There is nothing contextually significant about the use in this article. It is merely part of a decorative {{tl|multiple image}}. The logo isn't even mentioned, let alone the subject of subject of sourced commentary in the article. — JJMC89(T·C) 19:17, 12 May 2025 (UTC)

  • Speedy keep – The nominator appears to have overlooked the fact that the logo is also used on Cadillac in Formula One, and has a valid rationale for its use there. 5225C (talk • contributions) 08:32, 13 May 2025 (UTC)
  • : I have not overlooked that. Your !vote does not address use in 2026 Formula One World Championship, which is the issue brough for discussion, not deletion. Appropriate use in one article, does not make it appropriate for use in another. — JJMC89(T·C) 07:48, 14 May 2025 (UTC)
  • Keep - If the logo of a formula one team on a formula one season page is not contextually significant, what is?. You say the logo isn't even mentioned, imo it doesnt have to be mentioned. "Cadillac will become the eleventh team in Formula One, marking Cadillac's first appearance in the series and the first new team on the grid since Haas in {{F1|2016}}." should provide enough context for the logo to be on the page. Furhter underneath the images, context is provided by saying "Audi and Cadillac will enter Formula One for the first time," -Louis (talk) (contribs) 13:53, 13 May 2025 (UTC)
  • : All of those statements (and the entire article) can trivially be understood by readers while omitting the logo (WP:NFCC#8). Also, see WP:NFC#CS. — JJMC89(T·C) 07:48, 14 May 2025 (UTC)
  • Remove from 2026 Formula One World Championship per WP:GALLERY and WP:NFCC#8. Using a non-free image as "visual identification for the brand" doesn't significantly increase readers' understanding. hinnk (talk) 11:36, 14 May 2025 (UTC)
  • Delete this file from all local en-wiki articles. Remember, it is not because whether it is appropriate to use this image for one article to another (let guess 2026 Formula One World Championship), I rather suspected this logo did not meet threshold of originality met for copyright protection in the United States, which is pretty high regarding the logos. Cedillac symbol, while may deem complex for countries with low TOO threshold, in fact only consisted of simple geometric shapes (such as shield and many rectangles), therefore ineligible for copyright in the US alone. I also didn't find any copyright registration regarding Cedillac logo (as well as Cedillac F1 logo). 2404:8000:1037:767:456F:150F:468D:9493 (talk) 10:04, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
  • Keep/Query It has applications, but shouldn't be in the gallery. I question whether the Cadillac logo actually has copyright protections. This logo or a version of it has been around for some time. It has trademark protections to be sure, but that's not the same thing. Likewise, merely adding a few words won't attain a copyright. Buffs (talk) 21:50, 16 May 2025 (UTC)
  • :To your query about copyright on the logo, this version was designed in the 2010s and has some substantive differences from previous versions (see [https://www.cadillacofsantafe.com/history-of-cadillac-santa-fe.html this history]). It's a relatively simple design, but comparing it to a case like the [https://web.archive.org/web/20180305012819/https://www.ipmall.info/sites/default/files/hosted_resources/CopyrightAppeals/2006/CCC%20Logo.pdf Car Credit City logo] from COM:TOO US, I'd say it probably does meet the U.S. threshold of originality as an arrangement of shapes. hinnk (talk) 01:56, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
  • ::If it were a brand new logo, I would completely concur, but the fact is, it's based on a logo designed over 100 years ago (see the logo history you provided). I'm pretty sure that derivatives won't attain additional copyright protections. Mickey Mouse would be the equivalent in this case and Mickey expired last year. Derivatives are no longer copyrighted.

:I don't particularly see how this is reasonable; this is both the cover on streaming and also the deluxe/album reissue cover. The implication that this image shouldn't exist would also implicate that Template:Extra album cover is unnecessary and all 8,400 pages that use it should have their corresponding images deleted because they're not "the primary visual image associated with the work". Neo Purgatorio (pester!) 01:39, 13 May 2025 (UTC)

::Extra album covers are allowed if they are discussed in the media. A prominent example is the Beatles album Yesterday and Today with its infamous "butcher" cover and the more tame replacement cover. Such extra album covers should not be described as the "primary visual image" which is false. Binksternet (talk) 12:55, 14 May 2025 (UTC)

:::Template:Infobox album#Template:Extra album cover: {{xt|If the album has been released with different album covers, they can be added to the infobox using this template. However, per WP:NFCC#3 use of non-free content is to be minimal, and not to be used if one item can convey equivalent significant information. An alternative cover that is significantly different from the original and is widely distributed and/or replaces the original has generally been held to pass this criterion.}} So, quite literally exactly what this cover is. I don't see your point.

:::{{xt|Such extra album covers should not be described as the "primary visual image" which is false.}} ...so, change that then, instead of completely nuking it? Neo Purgatorio (pester!) 13:06, 14 May 2025 (UTC)

::::If we accept the template instructions on their face, the above example :File:Black Ben Carson alternate cover.jpg would fail the "widely distributed" part because it is only seen on the self-publishing platform Bandcamp. However, the template instructions themselves are contradicted by a significant request for comment. This RfC closed in March 2011 with the following instruction about alternative cover art: {{blockquote|1=Stronger discouragement of alternate cover art just because it exists. More an issue in the music projects, but NFCI#1 should only apply to one cover image, no more. Secondary and alternative covers should require good demonstration of meeting NFCC completely and cannot rely on simply meeting NFCI#1. In terms of wording, all we need to say for now is that NFCI#1 only gives a maximum of one allowance of a cover image per article; any further uses must be justified another way.}} The other way would of course be that significant media commentary has been published about the alternative image. A year and a half after the RfC, Jheald acted alone [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template%3AInfobox_album%2Fdoc&diff=prev&oldid=517341173 to significantly open up the alternative cover question] by changing the template instructions without a supporting change to the existing consensus. Note that Wikipedia:Non-free_content#Implementation acknowledges the existence of "other boilerplate rationale" text in album art templates, "but editors are cautioned that these are generally tenuous in terms of supporting WP:NFCC#8". Editors "are encouraged to improve upon rationales if they can do so." Which is what we should do at the alt cover template. Binksternet (talk) 23:35, 16 May 2025 (UTC)
