Infringement of sculptor's copyright. There is no Freedom of Panorama in Vatican City/Italy. Holy See copyright law applies the precepts of the Italian copyright law as the baseline.

Files in Category:Santo Andreas Kim Tae-gŏn Church, Jakarta
There is no acceptable Freedom of Panorama in Indonesia. The church was inaugurated and consecrated in 2017.
While one law firm has explicitly supported the inclusion of FoP clause under the Indonesian copyright law, they are lobbying for a noncommercial version instead so that buildings and monuments will not be exploited in branding and commercial purposes. Do not expect commercial-friendly and pro-Wikipedia FoP to be embraced in Indonesia anytime soon.

In my opinion, deletion requires a clear and demonstrable copyright violation, not general assumptions about restrictive laws. In this case, there is no specific provision in Indonesian copyright law that explicitly prohibits photographing and publishing images of publicly visible buildings. As uploader (some of the files), I believe there is no distinguishing factor or specific infringement can be demonstrated. Regards. Medelam (talk) 09:42, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
- @Medelam no, COM:PCP requires the Wikimedia Commons community to minimize the chances of takedown requests from the architects and sculptors (or their heirs or representatives). You also don't seem to understand the current jurisprudence in Indonesia. Indonesian works visible in public spaces cannot be freely used even for commercial purposes. See Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Selamat Datang Monument, in the case of Selamat Datang monument. See also this Indonesian article and this English article concerning KFC Indonesia's use of the monument in their buckets. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contributions) 10:09, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
- The Selamat Datang's case concerns commercial exploitation, which is a different situation from hosting an image on Commons for educational purposes. The fact that a company was challenged for using a monument in branding does not automatically imply that all non-commercial or encyclopedic uses carry the same level of risk. In this case of church images, no evidence has been provided that the architect or rights holder has objected to non-commercial, documentary uses such as this. Regards. Medelam (talk) 10:13, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
- @Medelam kindly read COM:Licensing#Acceptable licenses. Images should not only serve for educational purposes. Images must also be free for commercial and lucrative online media purposes like vlogging, website and app development, postcards, advertising, augmented and virtual reality, and tourism materials (like calendars and commercial travel websites). Wikimedia Commons cannot accept images of monuments and buildings from countries that do not allow commercial uses of images of their landmarks and monuments. Dozens of Indonesian landmarks and structures have been deleted for the past ten years, see Category:Indonesian FOP cases/deleted. COM:PCP prohibits Commons to wait for formal complaints from the architects or sculptors. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contributions) 10:41, 19 March 2026 (UTC)

This file was initially tagged by Ziv as Copyvio (copyvio) and the most recent rationale was: Flickrwashing: File has Exifdata from Facebook
Converted to regular DR to allow for discussion. On its Flickr source, there is a tag "instagram app", which might mean that the photographer, who has a "pro account" on Flickr, uses Instagram, which is also known to put the same code (FB ...) into the metadata. -- Túrelio (talk) 10:19, 19 March 2026 (UTC)

- I'm sorry if I uploaded something like this Ziv. Flickr does not have much in terms of policies like us with what is allowed or posted over there, which could be the root cause of why innocent users like to upload them here without much knowledge. I reckon... Flickr needs to handle policies the way we do it here. Flickr allows copyrighted video games and users licence them on cc-by-sa so a user might innocently upload an image from there and then get accused of copyvio. I'm aware of our strict policies because next step is someone could go to imginn and this account for example upload the pictures here and lie with permissions and its a whole different story.

- The issue seems to depend on if the font was stylised or not. Can a Chinese-speaking user weigh in on the issue? Does the font depicted in the logo look standard, or is it somehow stylised? --ShyAlpaca482 (talk) 22:25, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
- Only the Chinese character in the File:1069BF.png is not a standard character. Cypp0847 (talk) 07:19, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
- It all comes down to how complex each logo is, and they should be evaluated on a case by case basis. We may want to separate them into separate deletion requests if desired. Here is my take on these images (remember, TOO is low in Hong Kong):
Keep The following image is likely allowable and can probably be kept:
- File:HK08.svg - Well-known font with the only element that requires any effort being the red colouring of the text.
Delete The following images are likely not allowable and should be deleted:
- File:CMK Electrical Store logo.jpg - Only composed of characters written in standard fonts, but the bolded text, line dividing the top and bottom and different font sizes likely constitutes enough effort that it is copyrightable under "sweat of the brow."
- File:Blue Logotype En.jpg - Same as above, only composed of standard fonts, but has elements requiring some effort like the colouring of the text, different font sizes and selective bolding of the text, which likely makes it copyrightable under "sweat of the brow."
- File:1069BF.png - Demonstrated originality since it is a non-standard font.
- File:Federation for the Stability of Hong Kong.svg - While it consists only of uncopyrightable/public-domain parts, it required a fair amount of effort to compile and is therefore copyrightable.
- File:HKIB-logo 64cmx12cm RGB 300dpi-01.png - Same as the previous one, it required effort to create and is therefore copyrightable. --ShyAlpaca482 (talk) 19:20, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

- The photo was taken on 27th October 2016 by Juliana Anwar! No photo under license. It was allowed to be used by the photographer for free. NilmaDole (talk) 16:31, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
- That the photographer has allowed you to use it for free is not the same as her having released it under a free license. If she intended to release it under a free license, you/she need to follow the steps outlined at Commons:Volunteer Response Team#If you are NOT the copyright holder to confirm this.

- Hi all. I used a tool to search for this image and found the page mentioned above. At the bottom of the page, it clearly states
写真等の無断転移を固く禁じます
(translation: Unauthorized reproduction or transfer of photos, etc. is strictly prohibited), so I reported it as a copyright violation. If I have misunderstood, please let me know below. Thank you. 浅村しき (talk) 17:50, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
Copyright © 2004-2026 ホスホス ® All rights reserved- @ShuQizhe, you didn't do anything wrong! To find an assumed pre-publication of an upload is important. However, to judge whether it might be evidence that the upload violates copyright, the temporal precedence is revelant, but also whether the external hit shows at least an equally large section of the image as our upload. Sometimes the external hit may not be the true source, but suggest that both come from a third source. --Túrelio (talk) 20:07, 19 March 2026 (UTC)

This is a work of the Government of Alabama, not the U.S. federal government, so the 'public domain' claim is not valid.

This file was initially tagged by Rht bd as Copyvio (db-copyvio) and the most recent rationale was: No exif, poor resolution, possible AI generated or AI edited image without permission.|help=off
Converted to regular DR to allow for discussion, as the evidence is weak. At the time of upload, 2023, AI tools weren't easily accessible and powerful as today. -- Túrelio (talk) 20:34, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
- The user has previous record of uploading copyrighted image to commons which are not his own work File:Dino Morea 2000.jpg. Rht bd (talk) 04:22, 20 March 2026 (UTC)
- The image is from 2023, when such realistic AI images were not widely accessible.The absence of EXIF data is normal, as it can be removed during editing (see COM:EXIF).Deletion should not be based on speculation (see COM:DEL). Rick Joseph (talk) 08:58, 21 March 2026 (UTC)
- No verifiable evidence supports the claim of AI generation; per Commons policy, deletion should not proceed on speculation. The file should be kept unless proper evidence is provided. Josephite 25 (talk) 10:38, 28 March 2026 (UTC)
- There is no evidence that it is AI-generated. Deletion cannot be based on assumptions or speculation. Without clear proof, removing the file is not justified.Josh Katz 12 (talk) 18:23, 21 March 2026 (UTC)

Possible COM:COPYVIO. Unlikely to be own works. Some files have a watermark, Rockin' 1000, another has a speaker icon, indicating that the image is a screenshot of a video, with no source. Most files lack plausible EXIF data; it is assumed that the uploader found the images somewhere on the internet, see also User talk:Chaoticclemmy, which already contains some speedy deleted images. Images should be deleted per COM:PCP.
