It says it has no free alternative. I disagree. I think that a geographically correct map of Zone 1 would work. It also says it is little use as a map but I can use it easily. --91.84.86.19 (talk) 17:02, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
- Keep. The point is that the map is geographically incorrect. There is no other way to illustrate the difference. If you think the resolution is too high, upload a lower resolution one. Also, there is a difference between being "barely readable" and useful. IronGargoyle (talk) 17:52, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
- Keep, as above. The Tube map is world famous for deviating from chartographic accuracy; it is a Tube map used in an article about the Tube map. I would think the fair use rational is clear. Odedee (talk) 04:12, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
Copyright status edit
Transport for London do not claim copyright for the tube map in any place where it is published (either as wall posters or 'give away' pocket maps.) This makes sense because London Transport used the map for years even though they had no claim to the copyright (If the copyright belonged to anyone, it was to Harry Beck as he did not conceive it in London Transport's time).
