The mosque was completed in 2002 by Mohamed Makiya (1914–2015). There is no freedom of panorama in Oman. The copyright terms of the country lasted for 70 years, and the image can be undeleted in 2086 A1Cafel (talk) 00:42, 22 October 2022 (UTC)

- I believe that my photo is completely legal. I was escorted through Oman by a resident of Oman who did not inform us of any restrictions on picture taking. Our guide was licensed by the state of Oman to give us the tour and our guide was very aware we were all taking pictures. Are we going to get rid of all pictures of the Eifel Tower on Wikipedia because France does not explicitly allow them? I don't see anything in the law that explicitly forbids a photo like this. In law, anything not explicitly forbidden is allowed. Cgeggis (talk) 15:07, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
- @Cgeggis: freedom of photography is not relevant here. What matters is that your photo under free CC license violates the posthumous copyright of the architect, and Omani copyright law does not provide a freedom of panorama provision that authorizes free shooting of copyrighted public art and works without the need of permission from the architects or sculptors (or their heirs if they are already deceased). Otherwise your photo can only be undeleted 70 years after Makiya died. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 03:31, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
