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:
- 1 Visit the deletion requests subpage and place the following code:
{{
subst:
delete2|image=File:Coat of Arms of the Archdiocese of Manila Vectorized.svg|reason=
This file is a derivative work of the official, copyrighted depiction of the Archdiocese of Manila's coat of arms. [3] [4]
Although the uploader substituted the internal heraldic charges (the crescent, castle, and merlion) with CC BY-SA assets from File:Coat of Arms of the Archdiocese of Manila.svg, the rest of an image is an exact trace of the archdiocese's specific artistic representation. Per Commons:Coat of arms, the visual emblazonment is protected by copyrighted:
A representation drawn to imitate another representation containing non-geometric shapes is not copyrightable separately from the original work. If the goal of the author is to replicate a single preexisting work as precisely as possible, the result will have no copyright beyond that of the original work, and will thus be considered a derivative work of the original (and is protected— or not— under the same copyright).
Specifically, the derivatives are evident in the exact vector replication of the following: the exact curvature and border of the shield, the detailed stylization of the mitre (including the ornamental leaves), and the folded scroll.}} ~~~~
