No freedom of panorama in Japan (or almost anywhere else, for that matter) for nonfree cabinet artwork. Thus, this is an unauthorized derivative work of the cabinet art. RJaguar3 (talk) 18:01, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
Keep This has nothing to do with FOP or derivative work, this is an original photo. I think this is de minimis. The main artwork at the right side is shown in a very small portion and from an angle. The other artwork is not too complex (color portions with also very small circles with the characters and also de minimis. We have lots of other cabinets.

- I find it hard to believe that de minimis would apply here when the cabinet itself is the focus of the photograph (as opposed to a generic photograph of an arcade that happens to also include nonfree cabinets, which would likely fall under de minimis). See the deletion log for File:Pacman-puckman.jpg, in which a comparison of Pac-Man and Puck Man cabinets was deleted for copyright reasons. RJaguar3 (talk) 21:24, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
- The cabinet is not de minimis. But the artwork of it thereon. I don't know how the Pacman image looked (obviously comparing 2 cabinets, maybe the same copyrighted Flickr image as on the english Wiki) but the artwork here is not in the center and not for comparison reason. You also see more than just the cabinets here (background). We have other (Pac-Man) cabinets like this File:Super Pac-Man - Bally Midway Namco arcade cabinet.jpg which shows some characters frontally and is more questionable than the very dark and very sharp angled artwork on the lower right side which someone can't really see properly. Or File:Mspacmancabinet.png or File:Space Invaders Arkad.jpg. Again, almost all arcade cabinets (and many other products) have artwork, characters, or portions of the screen or else. I think if it's not shown too close and the artwork fewer than half of the image, like it is here, it should be kept. And the Gauntlet cabinet image would be useful without any artwork because of it's unique cabinet style. So another reason that the artwork is de minimis. --Kungfuman (talk) 15:22, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
