 Keep, as each photo is so small as to be de minimis. What can you tell us about the provenance of the photos?   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 19:29, 24 October 2025 (UTC)

 Keep De minimis. This is like a skyline photo where individual buildings may be copyrighted but since no individual building is the focus of the photo it's considered de minimis. Nakonana (talk) 19:24, 18 November 2025 (UTC)

•  Delete A skyline includes copyrighted buildings only incidentally, since it is impossible to photograph a skyline without capturing the buildings that constitute it. Here, the situation is fundamentally different. The photograph is intentionally focused on the artwork itself rather than on an entire building where the artwork merely happens to appear as a minor detail. The artworks are the subject, not an unavoidable background element. The physical size of each portrait is irrelevant (also, if zoomed in, the are larger than many images here on Commons in detail); what matters is the intention of the photograph and the deliberate inclusion of the copyrighted material. Additionally, per COM:EVID, those arguing to keep the file must provide information about the provenance of the underlying photographs. Without such evidence, the images cannot be presumed freely licensed. --Jonatan Svensson Glad (talk) 20:51, 23 November 2025 (UTC)

  Images with similar concepts have been kept for example in case of book covers: the photo would depict several books lying on a table, but it was decided that neither book cover was the focus of the photo and thus the photo was kept per de minimis. For example:

 Weak keep This seems to suggest that the photos are all from the Second World War. In that case I think it plausibly passes muster per {{PD-Russia-1996}}. The de minimis argument, on the other hand, doesn't fly in my opinion. Phillipedison1891 (talk) 17:11, 26 April 2026 (UTC)

 Delete, the tower was designed in 1975, so the design will not be PD until 1975+50+1=2026.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 20:49, 24 October 2025 (UTC)

@Jeff G. see COM:VPC#Milad tower PD next year(?) with regards to your calculation of PD for this architectural work. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contributions) 02:30, 25 December 2025 (UTC)

@JWilz12345: "construction was inaugurated on 19 August 1975" per en:Milad Tower#Background. Now that we are in 2026, 50 years from publication would no longer apply. However, we still need to wait for 50 years after the death of the designer, "Iranian architect Mohammad Reza Hafezi". What info do we have on that person?   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 17:36, 23 January 2026 (UTC)

@Jeff G. it may be a wrong use of English word, perhaps a mistranslation or wrong choice by someone who isn't a native or near-professional English speaker. It may have meant "construction began on 19 August 1975". However, at the section below it stated that the tower began construction in 1997 and was completed in 2007. Even the Farsi Wikipedia article (w:fa:برج میلاد) gives two theories on the origin of the idea for the tower. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contributions) 00:53, 24 January 2026 (UTC)

•  Keep. Lighting angle obscures any details on the tower and the identifiable elements of the tower in profile are out of frame. De minimis. IronGargoyle (talk) 05:42, 25 October 2025 (UTC)

  I tend to agree with this one, but is the title a problem? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:20, 11 December 2025 (UTC)

  @IronGargoyle: The naming of the file cancels out the de minimis claim.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 13:49, 11 December 2025 (UTC)

  Titles can be changed. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:44, 11 December 2025 (UTC)

If this is an unofficial flag, it is unlikely that it was " work prepared by an officer or employee of the United States Government as part of that person’s official duties". PD-USGOV also does not apply to works created by territories, only the federal government. Ahecht (TALK
