•  Keep nichts Geschütztes auf den Fotos --Ralf Roletschek 08:06, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

Nitpicking imo, but I'm too old to argue, so go ahead, do what you want to, its a tower in full public view. --Ossewa (talk) 18:26, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

•  Keep Changed my mind. Nothing protected in the photos, its a tower in full public view. --Ossewa (talk) 18:26, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
  • The tower is complex enough and it is protected by copyright. --A1Cafel (talk) 01:37, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
    • No. --Ralf Roletschek 08:30, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
• Interesting, if per Ralf, then all kinds of radio/television towers are ok for uploading even though some countries don't have FOP or FOP is non-commericial only. --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 23:42, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
  • But, Commons:Deletion requests/File:Останкинская телебашня (Ostankino-Tower).JPG (before the limited introduction of FOP, for architecture only, in Oct. 2014) and Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Georgian alphabet tower? Both show "functional" structures too. Any way, FOP is going to be introduced in South Africa soon (hopefully). @Ossewa: see meta:Wikimedia South Africa/Copyright Amendement Bill. The challenge for South African Wikipedians, however, are some notable detractors like the International Intellectual Property Alliance based in USA and Dramatic, Artistic, Literary Rights Organisation (DALRO).

    • I don't think anyone here cares about that, our police force has more important issues to deal with. Anyway, do what you must, I'm too old to argue. --Ossewa (talk) 27 Apr 2021 (Freedom Day)

@A1Cafel: I know you can't comment on DR's so please post on my talk Page - FOP talks about Artistic works. How is something utilitarian an artistic work? Gbawden (talk) 07:25, 26 August 2021 (UTC)

Deleted: per nomination and per COM:FOP South Africa, which says no FOP for artistic works. In my opinion this tower has artistic elements, for instance the curved shape from bottom to the top. --Ellywa (talk) 23:12, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
