I believe these two be derivatives of a copyrighted character, and therefore, subject to copyright.

Deleted R2D2 is a copyrighted character. There are additional images in this category which could be checked/nominated. Ellin Beltz (talk) 21:30, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted I have included File:Maker Faire 2007 - S2-D2 (508247085).jpg in the deletions because it is not useful with the large areas of pixelation in the middle. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 19:19, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • About a decade ago someone nominated a whole whack of pictures of model cars for deletion - you know the ones that are children's toys. The nomination claimed that a picture of a toy Mustang car violated a copyright. I can't remember for sure now, but I think they were claiming the pictures of the model violated Mattel's copyright, not the copyright of the Ford Motor Company. The strange thing is that no one objects to pictures of actual Mustang cars, just to models of them. I find that counter-intuitive.
  • I put the three R2D2 costumes I uploaded into a cosplay category. So, when someone takes a picture of someone wearing a Wonder Woman costume, or a Spiderman costume, are they violating a copyright? Is the person who makes themself a Wonder Woman or Spiderman costume violating a copyright? If those pictures violate a copyright, is it the copyright of Marvel, or of the amateur costume maker?
  • Is someone going to argue these arguments apply to the images in Category:Cosplay of Bender (Futurama)? Geo Swan (talk) 01:37, 14 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Yuraily Lic: most of these are costumes made by fans. If I understand your argumentation this picture should be deleted because it is a derivated work, but not this one which is also a derivated work made in lego. The only difference is the building material. --Cody escadron delta (d) 05:50, 14 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
If you want to submit a DR about it, you can do it. I am not obligated to submit DRs for all copyvios files, and I won't stop you. --Yuraily Lic (talk) 14:53, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Yuraily Lic: you absolutely not answer to me. --Cody escadron delta (d) 06:02, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
 Delete These seem like obvious copyright violations here. Some kid in a cardboard box painted blue and white would be a stretch for deletion, but all the ones I looked at above are near exact copies. - Themightyquill (talk) 08:16, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, I was careful to only pick files that actually contained (in my view) a substantial and clear image of R2-D2, rather than de minimis, merely relating to it, or something so stylized that it was not a DW of that specific robot. For the file you mention, it appears so clearly to be this subject as a substantive part of this image, even though it's redrawn by hand; see Commons:Fan art#Copyright in fan art. One could replace it with a different generic/free robot, but one could not simply crop it out altogether. DMacks (talk) 13:51, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted: almost all, per nomination, except for the one released by the Star Wars account on Flickr. --Rosenzweig τ 01:23, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
