Derivative work of a half-dozen actor headshots. Unlikely the uploader holds the rights to the individual headshots pictured. —RP88 16:32, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

I disagree with the use of template:PD-textlogo here. The lighting and the shape of the hand are creative enough to pass the threshold of originality required for copyright protection. Teofilo (talk) 19:30, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
Deleted by DieBuche: Commons:Deletion requests/File:Ad2.png: I disagree with the use of template:PD-textlogo here. The lighting and the shape of the hand are creative enough to pass the threshold of originality required for copyright protection.
A) The EXIF data mentions Getty Images as copyright owner. B) getty images website page mentions a different photographer name (Michael Buckner NOT K. Smith). C) That same getty images website page refers to this picture as a non-free picture. D) I simply can't believe that Getty Images would release any of their pictures as a free picture. E) I will leave a message on the OTRS noticeboard to ask for clarifications. --Teofilo (talk) 21:04, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
- What? Did you bother to read my talk page related to this image? I told Martin he could delete the image while I'm trying to sort it out in OTRS. Killiondude (talk) 21:09, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
- No. The uploader's talk page is the last page I read when I make a deletion request. Every copyright information is supposed to be mentioned on the File description page, not on anybody's talk page. Teofilo (talk) 21:18, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
- To avoid this (wasting both my time and yours) you might have nominated the picture for deletion yourself. But this is not totally a waste of time. It shows how unsafe our current OTRS system is. Increasing our awareness of the fragility of the OTRS system is not a bad thing. Teofilo (talk) 21:22, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
Deleted. reasoning. I agree with Teofilos last point. Also the nomination reason shares my concerns raised on Killiondudes talk, I could have used this regulare and more visible process of deletion request or OTRSN too, so sorry for the double work. --Martin H. (talk) 21:29, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

- Delete It can hurt someone's sensitivity (I guess) Dimod61 (talk) 15:44, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
Keep Wikipedia does not censor for Muslim sensitivities. This is not Muslimpedia, where muslims say what can be done and what can not be done.Cmmmm1 (talk) 15:56, 7 June 2010 (UTC)- This account is a sock of an editor (User:Cmmmm) who has been indefinitely banned from en.Wikipedia for sockpuppetry. Greg A L (talk) 17:32, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
- Keep: "Hurt someone's sensitivity" isn't a valid reason to exclude material from Commons. The file is worth keeping in its present condition. However, I would strongly encourage the author to establish this illustration's educational significance, protecting it against any future deletion attempts for project scope and the like, by providing some background detail for us in the file description. For example:
- What equipment (e.g. hardware and software) was used to make this drawing?
- Is there a name you'd use to describe this style of drawing? Can you Wikilink to an article or externally link to a resource that tells us how to make high-quality cartoons like this ourselves?
- Can you explain where you found or how you came up with the archetypes that you portray?
- The map seems to match that preceding the w:Fall of Constantinople, and the cross-shaped shield suggests the w:Crusades to me. Can you explain a bit about your intent (was it perhaps to compare some of the veil and minaret laws in the current news to the Crusades ca. 1200-1400 A.D.)? (Alternatively, I suppose this could be viewed as an Aryan figure protecting her living space from sub-human Semitic peoples...)
- This was brought up in Talk:Everybody Draw Muhammad Day. Can you certify that this was in fact submitted to that event? If it has been the subject of any report, award, or third-party commentary, it would be helpful to mention this.
- As I said, the cartoon needs none of these things to be retained. But there is a lot of debate going on now regarding freedom of expression, and explaining things like that can help to strengthen the case in support of it. Wnt (talk) 17:08, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
- Speedy Delete per WP:Snowball. The image is 1) not used in any article; 2) it is a user contribution that did not come from a reliable secondary source and has no notability; and 3) because of its POV-pushing nature (depicting Muslims as turban-wearing pigs who are unwelcome in Europe and are being righteously kicked out) it doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell of ever being (legitimately) used in any article in the future. Note that if the image is not used in an article or in a meaningful way in WP-space, it will eventually be deleted anyway. Greg A L (talk) 17:23, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
- I am concerned about some points in this logic. Compare, for example, the user-generated artwork at right.
- Such a figure is also a user-generated artwork expressing a user's sentiment. Would you call that POV-pushing? Or is "POV-pushing" limited to viewpoints that offend you?
- Such a figure does not come from a reliable secondary source. But doesn't Commons allow user-generated public domain artwork in many contexts?
- Provided that this cartoon was in fact part of w:Everybody Draw Muhammad Day it belongs in the gallery in that target article (yes, I know that's another debate). We should not imagine that biasing that article, by leaving out really offensive images, is really such a service to Muslims. Instead it could cause people to look at Muslims as "cry-babies" because they protest over a few tame cartoons... because the readers aren't being allowed to see the images that might make the angry response seem more understandable to them. Wnt (talk) 18:46, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
- I am concerned about some points in this logic. Compare, for example, the user-generated artwork at right.
- Are you serious? The image of the dove is used all over the place in userspace. Go ahead; click on the image and look at the file usage. Are you suggesting that userspace is the same as articlespace? Or are you thinking that a bunch of wikipedians will soon want to adorn their user pages with a badge such as the one at right? Are you going to be first? User:Cmmmm is banned for life so he won’t be able to serve as the flagship wikipeidan to so-decorate his userpage. Your analogy is absurd. Now…
Note that my invitation to be the first user to create a badge like this is just theoretical; it wouldn’t be permissible. Why? Well, I’ll make the point in a way that you might be able to better relate to: The Persian (think: Iran) version of Wikipedia once had a problem where administrators were running into trouble with users over there adorning their user pages with anti-Isreal comments and images of SCUD missiles being launched. The admins came to ANI here en.Wikipedia (where I saw the thread) to see what to do. The short answer is that user pages are not the property of the user. The cartoon at right belongs on a personal weblog of Cmmmm’s and has zero business being on Commons because it will never find a legitimate use in articlespace.
Oh… P.S. I’m non-religious; I am neither Muslim or Jew. All religion is “pretend”, IMHO. But I also know Wikipedia policy pretty well and use an abundance of WP:COMMONSENSE on this one. Wikipedia is NOT a venue—even on user pages—for people to editorialize and bash other people’s religion. That sort of mentality has lead to far too many holy wars and deaths because, as Mark Twain once wrote:
- Are you serious? The image of the dove is used all over the place in userspace. Go ahead; click on the image and look at the file usage. Are you suggesting that userspace is the same as articlespace? Or are you thinking that a bunch of wikipedians will soon want to adorn their user pages with a badge such as the one at right?

“ | Man is the only religious animal. He is the only animal that has the True Religion—several of them. He is the only animal that loves his neighbor as himself and cuts his throat, if his theology isn't straight. He has made a graveyard of the globe in trying his honest best to smooth his brother's path to happiness and heaven. | ” |
- The community doesn’t need nor want Cmmmm’s religious hatred here, nor your feeble attempts to cite Wikipedia policies in a vain attempt to support his efforts; that much is a lost cause. Greg A L (talk) 19:54, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
- Just to clear the air, I've simultaneously argued in favor of retention of an image File:Ship to Gaza by Latuff.gif (which should be a really easy case to win). I would argue in favor of retaining an image blaspheming Christianity, except that most Christian countries, or at least the U.S., have defended this freedom so well that it has become almost too passe for artists to bother with.
- I don't think the dove's use in userspace argues for or against retaining that image, because userspace is just a courtesy. It is not as strong a reason to keep as that an image was submitted to a noteworthy protest, to be precise. I don't want it deleted; I'm just using it to remind people that there is no blanket policy against user generated artwork.
- And for the record, what leads to deaths in holy wars is the domination of religion by ambitious secular authorities (Roman emperors, German princes, Spanish royalty). Allowing freedom of religion, including blasphemy, prevents this and prevents those wars. Wnt (talk) 21:17, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
- Delete There is no evidence for "own work", which would be needed for work of this technical quality. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 20:12, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

- The rightsholders are probably the Picasso heirs. I don't know if they have an opinion on the location of the painting, especially if they had it in 1997. The painting spent decades abroad and Picasso's will was to have it at Prado. en:Guernica (painting) does not mention the heirs in the discussions about the definitive placement.

- The Gerinika-Lumo City Council web site has a brief blurb about this ceramic mural. It says: "This mural was commissioned by the City Hall of Gernika from the firms Cerámicas Queralt in Berga, Barcelona, Barcelona and Gernika being twin cities. It is a reproduction in the tradicional style, faithfully representing the composition that pablo Picasso created...". So this ceramic mural is definitely intended to be a derivative work of Picasso's Guernica (not that was in much doubt), but if it is a copyright violation due to lack of license, it is a pretty high profile one given that this is not the work of an anonymous artist making a social statement, but instead a work officially commissioned by Gernika's city government. —RP88 21:08, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

- Yes, but that's not at issue here. The problem is not that the photo is derivative of the displayed mural; it's that the mural is derivative of Guernica. And Guernica is not on public outdoor display and is thus not subject to Freedom of Panorama exceptions. Powers (talk) 01:02, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
Kept per RP88: This is not a graffiti or private mural but a replica commissioned by the city of Guernica in 1997. I think that it is safe to assume here that this replica is no copyright violation, i.e. this was done with authorization by the heirs of Pablo Picasso. Given this, {{FoP-Spain}} applies. --AFBorchert (talk) 18:16, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
I believe the reason given for keeping this by the closing administrator was flawed. We cannot simply assume that the city had permission to violate copyright, nor that that permission extends to us, without some sort of evidence of that. Its mere existence is not evidence of permission. Powers (talk) 14:04, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
- Keep We don't have a reason to belive otherwise, either. We can proove that we took the image under FOP, so if anybody complains about this usage, he has to complain about the mural and it's not us to be blamed for that.
- However, creating a mural from a painting could be considered a non-comercial use only (since nobody pays for seeing it), such that this basically circumvents the law in any case. To be considered in general: If I owned a painting of picasso (not the copyrights, the real painting), I could simply place it outside my house at the wall, take a picture and declare it FOP. I don't think there's an article that prevents this "abuse". --PaterMcFly (talk) 14:41, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
- Spanish FoP requires permanence. So your hypothetical painting should be on the wall always. Then it would be under FOP. For example, there are Dalí and Miró works on the streets of Madrid. They are (happily) under FoP. --Error (talk) 22:52, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
- Keep I refer to this discussion. Powers failed to substantiate where we should have significant doubts per COM:PRP in this case. Do you know of any case where a Spanish city council commissioned a copyright violation? And, if this would be the case, why didn't the copyright holders object? This replica was erected in 1997. They would have had plenty of time by now. In addition, I want to point out that the permission given to the city does not need to extend directly to us. This is covered by {{FoP-Spain}}. --AFBorchert (talk) 14:48, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

COM:DR#Appeal clearly says "If the admin declines to reverse the decision, you can request a review by other admins on Commons:Undeletion requests (or if the file was kept, renominate it for deletion)." I asked on Commons talk:Deletion requests for alternatives but received no reply, so I went ahead and followed the instructions. Powers (talk) 17:39, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
- But more to the point -- how can we presume legality here? I honestly don't understand why, on a project that normally takes copyright so seriously, we're aiding and abetting what looks to be a clear copyright violation of one of the most important artworks of the 20th century. Powers (talk) 17:39, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
- It's basically simple: Because we don't need to assume that the mural was errected illegally. AGF is also valid for people or rights outside wikipedia. Unless something is obviously and visibly illegal, nobody has to assume bad faith on others rights. Or do you generally assume that any new car you buy at your local dealer is stolen? No, you assume everything is in order with it unless you have evidence for the contrary. --PaterMcFly (talk) 18:29, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
- I have no doubt that the people who erected this copy were acting in good faith. But that doesn't mean they actually were in the clear in a strict copyright sense. It just doesn't seem at all likely to me that the copyright owners of the original painting would agree to such a public display in a country with freedom of panorama like Spain; if they're going to do that, why not just donate the original to the public domain and be done with it? I worry that this image is being used to circumvent the copyright on the original painting. Doesn't the precautionary principle suggest that we should err on the side of caution here? Powers (talk) 18:35, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
- We aren't using to circumvent the copyright on the original painting; en.WP displays the original painting, and everywhere we're using this picture, which is hardly a good copy of the original, we could legally display the original under fair use. (That's not an argument about fair use, but anything we're circumventing is our own rules, not copyright.)--Prosfilaes (talk) 18:46, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

- We're not aiding and abetting anything. This is apparently entirely legal under Spanish copyright law, if the template is correct: "Works permanently located in parks or on streets, squares or other public thoroughfares may be freely reproduced, distributed and communicated by painting, drawing, photography and audiovisual processes." It says nothing about legal works. Furthermore, Commons always takes reasonable presumptions about taking people's word that it's their picture unless there's evidence otherwise. I think assuming a city would not build a permanent mural without the right to display such falls under such.--Prosfilaes (talk) 18:46, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

Changed "no permission" to ordenary DR. File is uploaded by an enwiki user that claims to be photographer. I find that likely because of the note on the image on "low resolution". Also see [3] notice on enwiki where uploader identify himself (this image File:Doris Eaton Travis color.jpg). MGA73 (talk) 18:31, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
- Keep Didn't see he identified himself. --Eusebius (talk) 20:27, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
- Comment Just to make it clear. By identify i mean that uploader has written "I (Don Spiro) created this work entirely by myself." and therefore telling that he is Don Spiro. Now we have to decide if we trust that uploader is Don Spiro. --MGA73 (talk) 20:36, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

German book cover art. The book was first published in 1928. We don't know if the cover art is signed or not. We don't know if this is the first edition or not. --Teofilo (talk) 12:06, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

Design on a bus. COM:FOP#Hong Kong does not apply to bidimensional works. The "permanently located" condition is also a bit problematic. --Teofilo (talk) 08:57, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
- Keep Its a tramway (streetcar) in Hong Kong and all of them are carrying such advertising liveries. This is a picture of a vehicle and we keep such images as long as it is the whole vehicle and not just a detail of the advertising. Would be difficult to photograph the car without certain design features. -- 91.115.177.52 19:22, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
- In France there is no Freedom of Panorama at all and it not only difficult but impossible to photography such things as modern architecture or statues (or even the Eiffel Tower by night).

This image is copyrighted. The copyright is owned by Lucas films and Commons cannot host it under any circumstance. It is a fair use image which is not allowed on wikipedia. Leoboudv (talk) 19:48, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
- NOTE: This entire category of Star Wars vehicles are also copyright violations and must be deleted as Admin Lupo notes in this message. Lucas Films own the rights to them all. --Leoboudv (talk) 19:51, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
- Yes, I'm of the opinion that the "vehicle images" from this category and its subcategories are copyvios. Probably OK are IMO File:Guarding the X-wing 2.jpg, File:Guarding the X-wing.jpg, File:Mandos del Ala-X.jpg, File:People in ExCel.jpg, and File:Droid's alfabet.png. Unsure about File:X Marks the Spot 2.jpg, but probably tolerable. The rest are IMO copyvios: derivative works or copies of works copyrighted by the film makers. Lupo 06:49, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
- Keep ==> WTF? It's only a photo of a scale model, it's not a screenshot, or somthing like. Those Lego bricks need also to be deleted due of Lego's copyright? It sucks.--HAF 932 (talk) 15:52, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
- There is no copyright in a product that is simply utilitarian unless there are eligible components that can be easily distinguished from it. Or in layman's terms; individual bricks are just utilitarian objects. Now, if they were assembled into something, that's a different story. ViperSnake151 (talk) 17:29, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

- Keep I took this picture at MegaCon 2010 in Orlando, Florida. It is of a scale model built by a fan. If it was built by a fan and not Lucasfilm, then the specs would be fan created. The fan may have been inspired but it was his own creation (I see it like art as it was quite a beautiful sight to see in person). I gave the photo a Creative Commons attribution. See the original here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/aloha75/4571584198/ Sam Howzit 7:43, 31 July 2010 (EST)

All deleted as derivative works of copyrighted designs. Kameraad Pjotr 19:12, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
Pretty clearly a derivative work. I see no reason to assume that the original is public domain, unless this depends upon some law with which I am not familiar. J Milburn (talk) 21:33, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
- If it is really her passport, then the picture has been published in the US before 1978 without a copyright notice, which should make it PD ({{PD-US-no notice}}). --Eusebius (talk) 21:49, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
- Not according to our definition of published- this Commons policy page links to the EnWP page on PD; this page quotes a US law on the subject saying- "Publication" is the distribution of copies or phonorecords of a work to the public by sale or other transfer of ownership, or by rental, lease, or lending. The offering to distribute copies or phonorecords to a group of persons for purposes of further distribution, public performance, or public display, constitutes publication. A public performance or display of a work does not of itself constitute publication. Under these definitions, a passport photo certainly cannot be considered "published". J Milburn (talk) 22:38, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
- This image is derived from File:Janis_Joplin_Passport.jpg, so if the license on that image is correct and validly applied, then this image, File:Janisjoplin.png, is OK. However, while the original source Sérgio Savaman Savarese / savaman at Flickr has apparently licensed a photo of the passport as CC-by-2.0, that photo is clearly a derivative work of the passport itself and the photographer who took the original passport photo. While the passport to which the photo has been attached is a work of the US government and as such clearly PD, as Milburn mentions, I don't think we can use the presence of a photo in the passport as an instance of the photo itself being published. I think we need to consider deleting both. —RP88 11:24, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
Delete it and use this one [4] as 'fair-use', a lot better. See the copyright terms [5]. There's a Green's work in the article "Jefferson Airplane" too. 201.17.85.216 03:14, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
- The copyright terms say the Greene image cannot be used by even non-profit organizations. Whatever we do, we need to insert a better picture than that semi-abstract, high-contrast image that's there now. That's decorative, and does not give you a true, encyclopedic picture of the appearance of this article's subject. --207.237.230.157 21:38, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
Kept, as the passport is {{PD-US-no notice}}. Kameraad Pjotr 20:38, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
this probably could be speedied - it's a crop of a deleted image, see Commons:Deletion requests/File:Janis Joplin Passport.jpg Calliopejen1 (talk) 17:10, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
- Delete According to present US law at least, passports are not "public records" (source). And presumably hotel clerks etc are under "explicit or implicit restrictions with respect to disclosure of the contents". So a passport photo would not be regarded as published. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 17:39, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

Image is misleading. It shows Japan, the Philippines, and Korea in region A, but the description page adds a note that they're in region B. Based on the uploader's other images, I have my doubts about the correctness of the rest of the map. Carnildo (talk) 20:28, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
Delete Also, the division line in the Pacific is completely unclear -- it is not actually a North-South line, but has several jogs, see this reference. It includes part of Ellesmere Island in region A; all of Canada is actually in Region B. Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 10:37, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Comment That's close -- I'm delighted to see that you will actually address problems. Do the final cleanup and I think we're done -- Region B does not touch the shore in Russia -- the marked area should begin at the Korean border, not north of Vladivostok, again refer to this reference.

OK this too is now adressed KVDP (talk) 08:57, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
- Comment OK, now it's a keeper, but a request -- I'm sorry I didn't ask for this before -- could we have something other than Cyan? Pale blue or pale green? Primary colors (RGB and CMY) are usually not good for illustration. Again, my apology for not asking earlier. Thanks, Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 14:57, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Deleted. Everything was deleted except File:PKsymbol.svg. File:El Lissitzky self portrait 1914.jpg was created not in 1914, but in 1924, it's a clear mistake in the source -- see, for example, [6] (quite reliable book): "From the separate photographs of his face and his hand that he took in 1924 Lissitzky produced the celebrated portrait of himself." And he is simply not young enough on the photo to make it in 1914. Trycatch (talk) 02:37, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
