Projected Dubai themepark photos/mockups

See Commons:Deletion requests/File:Riverland™ Dubai.jpg and Commons:Village_pump/Copyright/Archive/2016/03#Company_commissions_a_building_-_does_Wiki_presume_they_own_copyright.3F. Essentially, these appear to be architectual mockups, for which we would need a license confirmation from the designers. Ticket:2016030110011405 contains a license from the park owners, but it is not clear they have the legal capacity to license the files.

LEGOLAND photos

The theme park does not yet exist (see Draft:Dubai_Parks_and_Resorts). Ticket:2016030110011405 contains a license from the owners of the upcoming park, but more information on the provenance of the photos is required, especially since File:Driving School at LEGOLAND ® Dubai.jpg is watermarked www.fabpix.co.uk. Additionally, we may need a license from LEGO as if the photos are from the UK, the TOO for utilitarian objects (or are they toys?) is quite low.

• Storkk describes the situation. We have a copyright release from the owner of the buildings. This ought to be good for the images, except the images with the watermark and possibly the LEGO images although I am unclear on that. Wikimedia Commons hosts a lot of LEGO images already and I am not sure how these have been managed in the past.

I am unaware of an instance of either a building owner or architect making a copyright release to Commons. It seemed promising to have a building owner contact Commons and apply a copyright release to these images, but for the past 2 weeks or so, I have gotten no reply to email requests for more information. The standing request by email was for clarification from their general counsel about the ownership of the copyright of the buildings. Without communication or clarification, I defer to the perspective that building design copyright is not routinely transferred by architect to building owner, and agree that the files should be deleted.

Deleted: The cars have a LEGO copyright. We have occasionally gotten license from architects -- certainly more than ten times in my experience. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 10:30, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
