The date of the window is 1978. Though it is stained glass, I would say that it's a graphic work rather than a "work of artistic craftsmanship" and so Freedom of Panorama does not apply. Simonxag (talk) 23:48, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
Oppose Stained glass is covered by UK FOP- according to the UK Court precedents Stained glass windows are free. Previous discussions on this topic archived.--ClemRutter (talk) 00:35, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
Comment {{Vk}} or {{Vd}} might be more useful than Oppose, it takes me some time to work out what you are opposing :-) , also a link to previous discussions cited would help :-) --Tony Wills (talk) 01:30, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
Keep Clearly, stained glass windows are 3D and specifically mentioned in Commons:Freedom_of_panorama#United_Kingdom --Tony Wills (talk) 01:30, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
- Clearly stained glass windows are 3d? That depends how you look at them, and if you look at any painting in the same way it's 3d too, just a bit thinner!!! Stained glass is mentioned from one source as something that can be protected as "artistic craftsmanship" and if this window is merely artistic craftsmanship then it's OK to photograph it. Looking at the photo of the window, I'd say that the thing is a full blown graphic work whose medium happens to be glass (the detail isn't enough to tell but it may well have been made by painting on glass). I'm not a lawyer, but I think this sort of image would get copyright protection without any recourse to claims of "artistic craftsmanship" such as would be needed for art jewelery or decorative stained glass. --Simonxag (talk) 00:26, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
