File:Michael Jackson's Signature.png

[edit]

I'm uncertain whether one of Michael Jackson's signatures has sufficient artistic merits for copyright protection. One of materials containing the iconic signature was deleted at English Wikipedia implicitly for being non-free and extraneous. If the material is deleted, what about the signature? Even when most signatures would not be eligible, is the signature artistic sufficiently for copyright? George Ho (talk) 07:32, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Almost forgot to say that the deleted material, the cover of the 2008 Kanye West remix of "Billie Jean", contains just text and plain black background with cursive "Thriller" logo overlapping "25". The material looks apparently simple, but the image is deleted, anyway. George Ho (talk) 04:50, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Kept: As a US signature, {{PD-signature}} applies. --Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr. 19:13, 5 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
