The category would be very small, and editors interested in image tagging probably already know which ones are concerned ({{Coat of arms}} could be added to the list). The same reasoning lead me to place a small number of non fair use tags here: there are too few of them to really merit a seperate Category:Non-free non fair use image copyright tags.
As with all copyright issues, the default is non-free: if we are not sure, that should signify reuser emptor. If we know that a certain country's banknotes are PD, for example, the images can be labelled {{PD-because}} (or {{money-US}} for the best known example). This is already done with PD Norwegian coats of arms on Commons.
I'm worried about someone going through at a future date and nominating all orphan "non-free" images for deletion. But that would delete some valid, free images. Yes, image with those tags should be tagged with a better tag that specifies whether it's free or not, but that's not a reason for deletion, at least not without a reasonable search for the status of the image.

I agree with your last point. It's hard to figure out what to do though. For example, there are thousands of images tagged with {{coat of arms}}, most of which don't have any source information, and some of which may be copyright violations. A proper cleanup would likely be a huge amount of effort, making deletion a very tempting alternative. Not sure what the solution is. JYolkowski // talk23:24, 27 January 2006 (UTC)Reply
