Does not seem to have been used on the documentation or magazines. The actual logo used had a fuzzy O as in [1]. The file should be removed as misleading and wrong. Dmcq (talk) 13:07, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
- Comment I don't know about this logo but what makes you think the image on your link to a page on Blogspot is any more reliable? I do see that the blogspot pages seems to have sourced its image from this page. I'm not sure how reliable that site is either, especially as it has this disclaimer saying "The author of these Website cannot take over any warranty for the correctness, completeness or accuracy for the available informations on these Website."

- So, just because the author of that blog does not provide any warranties in general while the screenshot of the windows 1.0 placed there is a REAL one (also check here: http://www.guidebookgallery.org/screenshots/win101 ), we should keep a 100% fake logo on Wikipedia (created by unknown without any proves)??? Even brandsoftheworld.com from which it has been taken agreed to delete it!!! BTW, for the real logo of Microsoft between 1982 and 1987 there is no need to visit other resources, it is here: File:Microsoft_Logo_Historical.svg

Keep The file is being used. It is not a copyright violation. Sinnamon (talk) 03:51, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
The file represents a MISLEADING information, so the discussion is NOT about the copyright violation, but about the absence of any reliable sources -- Aaleksanyants (talk) 08:32, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
- This is not Wikipedia, we have no policy on reliable sources. Techman224Talk 04:15, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
- Delete If this is NOT Wikipedia, why the file listed here is by default shown up on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Windows_logo_and_watermark_-_1985.svg which IS Wikipedia? BTW, According to Wikimedia Deletion policy, "derivative work, no/missing original source" IS mentioned in the reasons for deletion, check at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_policy#Legal_issues -- Aaleksanyants (talk) 08:32, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
- Delete Without some valid refernce, the logo would appear to be the fake that is claimed. Better to have nothing than a fake. -- SGBailey (talk) 09:31, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
Kept,
- Source information has been added that proves this image is indeed a Microsoft Windows 1.0 logo.
- Reasons such as "represents a misleading information" (sic), "if this is not Wikipedia" or "not used on such and such" are very far from enough for deleting a file from Wikimedia Commons. If you genuinely have strong evidence to believe the image may be a free derivative work, consider editing the image description page.
