This media file has been nominated for deletion since 26 August 2024.

To discuss it, please visit the nomination page.

Do not remove this tag until the deletion nomination is closed.

Reason for the nomination:

This image is sourced from an interactiive mapping tool (Esri) embedded in an NWS web page.[1] There are a few separate issues here.

1. Most fundamentally, Esri projects geophysical data onto a basemap, visible in the image. In this case, elements of the basemap were provided by Garmin and by Here Maps (visible in the tool itself on the NWS website, but cropped out in our version). Coming from Garmin and Here, whatever elements each is providing to the basemap are presumably protected by copyright. The web tool actually lets you change the basemap, but exploring the various options there, I couldn't find any that didn't explicitly include proprietary elements.

2. Esri requires that images generated by their service display both the source of the basemap, and the "Powered by Esri" logo.[2] The NWS complies with this license in their presentation of the map, but our version of it crops out these required elements. Having to retain these elements doesn't seem fundamentally incompatible with a free license to me, but cropping them out is certainly not compliant. (And it's moot anyway because of the basemap issue).

3. Regardless of how differently we might interpret part of the NWS general disclaimer, this particular image is directly and unambiguously covered by the part that reads "Third-party information and imagery are used under license by the individual third-party provider. This third-party information may contain trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, domain names, and other distinctive brand features to identify the source of the information. This does not imply an endorsement of the third-party data/products or their provider by NOAA/National Weather Service. Please contact the third-party provider for information on your rights to further use these data/products."[3]

This is a clear copyvio and we need to delete it.

Fortunately, there is a free alternative available. The NWS makes the calculated tornado track available in KMZ format which could be projected onto an open-source GIS viewer with only free elements. This would create a completely unencumbered image to use in place of this one.

If this template was added because you clicked "Mark for deletion" in the left menu (right when using Vector 2022 skin), please make sure that all necessary pages have been created. If they haven't been created after a few minutes, or if you added this template manually, you should complete these steps:
