Keep nothing wrong with having a template like this in userspace, as long as it's not used as a template elsewhere.

You're right, but the problem is that is had been used as a template in the above images which were deleted because of copyright violation after several years just because of a misleading tag. ●

Well, if someone insists on using it, give them a warning, then give them a block.

Those templates were added by me. While the templates were accurate, it was decided that the images (despite being free of copyright almost everywhere in the world) were still not free enough. They weren't mistakenly added, but we decided via consensus to treat those images as if they were copyrighted. So, while this template is depricated, I can still use it as a basis for other templates. If we need to add a disclaimer, we can.

I remember the discussion and also I remember there were no consensus at the end. BTW, a tag must be in form of a template (not a user page) to use for images. Then what you did was not admissible in Wikipedia. ●

Keep May be somewhat marginally useful to our encyclopedia project as for documentary record of international copyright law sillyness around Wikipedia. Harmless if usage contained into userspace. Was userfied by TfD discussion, MfD is not the best forum to challenge outcomes of other XfD processes.

Keep. Well within reasonable leeway for userspace. Nomination has not made the case that it is being misused repeatedly, or is causing actual problems. --
