Commons:Exemption doctrine policy

The Commons community has rejected this guideline, policy, or process.

A failed proposal is one for which a consensus to accept is not present after a reasonable amount of time, and seems unlikely to form, regardless of continuing discussion. References or links to this page must not describe it as "policy".

This tag is designed primarily to communicate status to other commons volunteers, and isn't intended to prohibit further development of ideas or proposals. It's probably not a good idea for those working on the proposal page itself to remove this tag unilaterally, but above all - remember that it's just a tag! - Be Mellow :-)

Commons is a media repository containing only free files according to policy set out in Commons:Licensing. The only exception to this is Wikimedia logos. Logos of Wikimedia, one of its projects, derivatives of those logos and proposed Wikimedia project logos copyrighted by the Wikimedia Foundation are allowed on Commons. There are no other exemptions to this: any other media under fair use, fair dealing, right of quotation or similar is not allowed on Commons.
