Foreign Ministry Moscow

[edit]

These are images of the main building of the Russian Foreign Ministry in Moscow ([1]), an architecturial work of V. G. Gelfreikh (who died in 1967 [2]) and M. A. Minkus (who died in 1963 [3]). There is no FOP in Russia ([4]), and Russian law is applied retroactively to Soviet works ([5]). Should be Category "Undelete in 2038/42" --Fernrohr (talk) 20:08, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

 Keep. As NVO wrote on Fernrohr's talk page: A policy is in place but there's no commitment. None. [...] practically anything built in the Union fails COM:FOP in this or that way. It's a five-digit mass of photos. Current "consensus" is to disregard COM:FOP in this case: no one really cares about legalese crap fabricated in Russia or North Korea. [...] Can this simple statement lead to a summary deletion of all photography in the Union-related categories? (accentuation by me) - yes, it can, if you go ahead deleting stuff like this, resulting in Wikimedia Commons becoming virtually useless for illustrating articles about Russia and/or or the Soviet Union (which occupied 1/6 of the Earth's land area). Change this policy right now because of common sense and the nullo actore, nullus iudex principle, and stop deletions at least until this point is clarified! And BTW, we do not need administrators implementing "commons policies" acting like robots not considering any issues around, like the mentioned above... --SibFreak (talk) 07:13, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I consider the argument "deletion is inconvenient and nobody will sue WMF based on this legalese crap, so let's ignore it" particularly inadequate. Nothing needs to be clarified, it is all pretty clear. Dura lex, sed lex, since you like Latin. --Fernrohr (talk) 08:22, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted, no freedom of panorama in the former Soviet Union: copyright violations. Kameraad Pjotr 20:56, 13 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
