derivative works violation, image contains copyrighted elements such as the software with no evidence of permission from apple Terrillja (talk) 02:39, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
Keep - Per de minimis. (See Commons:de minimis)
- The user interface software is not the "subject" of this image, but the iPad and the act of manipulating its touchscreen. The hand with the finger is the main subject of the image and the focus of the viewers attention — made evident by the fact that the camera is focused on the finger. -- Petri Krohn (talk) 05:27, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
- The image does not contain any copyrighted elements (see Elements of graphical user interfaces) of the user interface, what we see is thumbnails of possibly copyrighted photos, all of them shown in de minimis — as emphasized by the fact that most of them are out of focus.
- question:ok so I'm not sure about this one some of the others are pretty obvious but this one is a tough call. Could you explain a little more or perhaps walk us through the derivative works flow chart for the reasoning on this? Andyzweb (talk) 05:59, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
- Response: The minimalistic user interface shown does not contain any copyrightable graphical elements, like icons, buttons, drop-down lists (like the ones you can see if you zoom in to File:IPad-02.jpg). The only UI element I can see is the time 11:37 AM on the top of the screen. You cannot copyright the idea of thumbnails on a black background.
Delete I am going to say that this is a derivative works violation. We have no idea what the license is on the thumbnailed images is and they do not meet the threshold of originality. Andyzweb (talk) 15:50, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

Comment, I've messaged the Flickr uploader to confirm whether the thumbnails shown are his photographs, or are ones bundled with the product by Apple. Blurpeace 23:15, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
Deleted, after corresponding with Buchanan over FlickrMail, I have confirmed that the thumbnails are indeed not his work. Buchanan's original statement was, "Yeah, they were the sample photos provided on the iPad. Not taken by me." De minimis is not applicable. Blurpeace 05:34, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
