A bunch of fan art
[edit]I don't take time to look at every single one, but I guess that most of these :
- http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=Fanart
- http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=%22Fan+art%22&fulltext=Search
will have to be deleted as a consequence of Commons:Fan art. Teofilo 15:17, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
Keep These searches lead to a very mixed bag of images. Some may be copyvios and need individually deleting and some may need deleting for other reasons (eg usability). Others won't. "Fan art" is defined on the Commons page as derivative from copyrighted material, but what uploaders have called fan art seems to be just about anything they've produced themselves. --Simonxag 22:55, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
- If the uploaders call their work "fan art", they imply that they have produced derivative works themselves, and we should believe what they say (assume good faith). Teofilo 12:21, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
- If a particular work is derivative of copyrighted material not freely licensed it must go. A fan drawing of Dracula (from the description in the novel) would be derivative of a PD work, an original fan drawing of a pop star would not be derivative at all. A fan drawing of a Star Wars vehicle derived exclusively from a PD patent drawing eg Image:At-at.png would be an interesting item for discussion! --Simonxag 21:56, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
