Thoughts on a new NFC#UUI item
This is something that has bugged me for a while. We have the UUI#14 for annual events that lack their own branding. A similar case that I have seen more and more of are cases like File:Discovery Channel International.svg where their is legitimate usage of non-free media on the primary article, but each sub-entity (In this case stations in different countries) that lack distinct branding and just use the parents identification. My thought in cases like this WP:NFCC#3 would apply to limit such usages to the primary article only. Thoughts? Werieth (talk) 13:01, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
- Yes; parent company logos should not be used on child company pages simply because the child company lacks its own unique logo, as we don't use brand logos on pages about products made by that brand. --MASEM (t) 13:22, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
- How should we word it? Werieth (talk) 18:33, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
- The logo of a business entity used for identification of one of its child entities, even if the child entity lacks its own unique logo. ? --MASEM (t) 18:52, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
- Good starting point but what about non-business groups? The largest abuse I can see is File:UCF Seal.svg which is used on 26 articles. Or File:SL Benfica logo.svg which is used on 14 articles. The logo of a entity used for identification of one of its child entities, when the child entity lacks their own branding. is what I was thinking. I know it needs some work.

- Yea, entity is a better term. --MASEM (t) 19:29, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ I have been asked to "close" this discussion, but I see no need, nor any reason for this to be closed. After a week of only two participants, I feel that there isn't enough input to form a full consensus. However, this discussion is simply about adding a clarifying point to this guideline that piggybacks off of an established consensus with a better, fuller explanation. Due to this discussion, although not well attended, and in the spirit of WP:BOLD, I am adding the proposed change to the guideline. Cheers, TLSuda (talk) 23:43, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
