I uploaded [[:File:The Ren & Stimpy Show - Happy Happy Joy Joy scene.webm]] almost five months ago under Non-free video sample to use on the articles "[[Stimpy's Invention]]" and [[The Ren & Stimpy Show]]. As I'm on my GA review for "[[Stimpy's Invention]]", reviewer [[User:Rollinginhisgrave|Rollinginhisgrave]] wants me to report the file to ask you if it's an okay non-free media use, considering it to be "really long". It's a minute and 33 seconds and documents the whole ''Happy Happy Joy Joy'' scene, so should I keep it in its original intent, or cut it down?

: It should 100% be removed from [[The Ren & Stimpy Show]]. In that article, it is not even mentioned in the article text. [[WP:NFCC#8]] says we only use non-free content where "its omission would be detrimental" to understanding the topic. If Happy Happy, Joy Joy isn't even mentioned in the article at all, then I don't see any way that a video of it is essential for your understanding of the topic. I'm not a tremendous fan of including it in [[Stimpy's Invention]] either because, what encyclopedic purpose could not be served with an external link to a licensed Youtube page, say, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wog-z_Esnw4 - which would not require any fair use at all? But I realize I'm probably going to be in the minority on this view. --[[User:B|B]] ([[User talk:B|talk]]) 02:14, 9 July 2025 (UTC)
