Tallinn TV Tower was built in 1980. In most countries, all paintings, sculpture, architecture, text, and other creative works have copyrights which last for a certain period (usually 70 years) of time after the death of the creator (be it the last-surviving architect, engineer, designer, sculptor, engraver, or painter). An image of a work that is still under copyright is considered as a derivative work, and infringes on the copyright so therefore we cannot usually keep the image on Commons. In some countries, there is a special exception to the copyright law which allows such images under certain circumstances. We call that exception Commons:Freedom of panorama (FoP). Unfortunately, Estonia has no Commons-acceptable FoP.

@A1Cafel: Due to COM:VPC#Estonia is a country where FOP is not OK but still have, I'm not sure if what's the actual situation of this country. --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 04:25, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
JWilz, I'm afraid that @Jklamo: disagree with you, they think that all TV towers are utilitarian buildings that should always allowed even in FOP Notok countries (at least, per Special:Diff/554535249). --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 10:22, 27 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

deleted most, per nomination, because there is no COM:FOP Estonia. The argument this tower is utiliatrian might be true, but imho this does not mean it is not a work of architecture. Photos of work architecture made in Estonia cannot be maintained on Commons. Therefore according to the law in Estionia, photos prominently showing the tower should be deleted. kept two images. One could be cropped, the rest of the image is maintained, the uncropped version is deleted. The other photo only shows a technical detail of the tower, which I consider not architecture.
