:Hi {{u|ONUnicorn}}. The use of non-free logos to identify individual entries in tables or lists is generally considered to be [[:WP:DECORATIVE]] and not in compliance with [[:WP:NFTABLES]], [[:WP:NFLISTS]] and [[:MOS:LOGO]]. In almost all of the cases I've come across, a link to either the stand-alone article about the entry in question where the same logo can be seen or a [[:WP:COLON|link to the actual file itself]] is considered to be a sufficient alternative to displaying the same file again i the table per [[:WP:FREER]], item 6 of [[:WP:NFC#UUI]] and [[:WP:NFC#CS]]. You could, I guess, seek a consensus in favor of such use at [[:WP:FFD]], but I think you would need to provide a really strong justification to convince others that it should be allowed. Just from looking at the draft you linked to above, I think it would be really hard to justify this type of non-free use in that type of table. -- [[User:Marchjuly|Marchjuly]] ([[User talk:Marchjuly|talk]]) 01:34, 22 April 2026 (UTC)

::Thanks. That's what I thought, but I wanted to check. Also, "a link to the stand-alone article about the entry in question" won't work for the vast majority of these as the whole point is to turn them into redirects so we won't have a bunch of A7-eligible articles about them. But then, once we've redirected them, the logos will become unused non-free content, so they'll need to be deleted. Oh well. The table will have links to their websites, so if people want to see logos they can go there. ~ ''[[User:ONUnicorn|ONUnicorn]]''^{([[User talk:ONUnicorn|Talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/ONUnicorn|Contribs]])}[[WP:P&S|problem solving]] 11:48, 22 April 2026 (UTC)

== Paramount Press Express temporarily hosting photos? ==

I thought about using one of cast photos for [[Survivor 50]], but then Paramount Press Express holds the [https://www.paramountpressexpress.com/cbs-entertainment/shows/survivor-50/photos/?page=29&brand=cbs-entertainment&type=all&episode=0 same photo I wanna use]. Then it [https://www.paramountpressexpress.com/cbs-entertainment/shows/historic-photo-archive-collection-survivor-seasons-149/photos/ holds old photos]. Unfortunately, I dunno which photos they organize for collections. Indeed, I'm required to [https://www.paramountpressexpress.com/account/register register with a company email address]. I kept myself wondering how uses of some photos may breach [[WP:NFCC#2]] if I can't access collections. The only alternative way to determine is... well, [[Getty Images]].
