Files in Category:License plates of Arizona

[edit]

These files were published first after 1989 and are above threshold of originality in the United States. While works of the federal U.S. government are presumed to be in the public domain, this is not generally the case with individual U.S. states; copyright vests in states unless their state statutes render their works into the public domain. Arizona law grants citizens the right to "request to examine or be furnished copies, printouts or photographs of any public record ", but courts have ruled that laws with similar requirements do not render state government works into the public domain. As the primary object depicted in all of these files is the license plate, the license plates are copyrighted by Arizona, and there is no freedom of panorama for two-dimensional works in the United States, these should be presumptively deleted for lacking evidence of a free license from the copyright holder of the license plates.

Centennial plate has already been subject of a deletion request in march 2021 which has been refused. On my express request, I confirm so that you can delete this picture of which I am the uploader: I stop WikiCommons, but anyway I was only a very small insignificant contributor and I had not put anything for over a year following the harassment I had last year from a contributor about license plates. All my others pictures will follow, it won't be a big loss. Thank you to respect my choice. Drake317 (talk) 07:48, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The centennial plate was kept solely based on the closer's claim that it was not above COM:TOO, but I don't really see how it's all that much less creative or original than w:en:File:BP Helios logo.svg (a file WMF legal says is copyrighted). — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 15:11, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Perfect, then you can delete it as I told you before. Thanks. Drake317 (talk) 17:04, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
