I think the license is false and it's beyond the threshold of originality. Andrek02 (talk) 16:41, 14 April 2026 (UTC)

 Question what would be copyrightable about this book cover? Is it from a country with a very low threshold of originality? Nakonana (talk) 16:09, 28 May 2026 (UTC)
Probably OK per COM:TOO Malaysia, but I'll await the closing admin's decision with interest. If anything is copyrightable, it would be what I suppose is an image of a keris. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:53, 13 July 2026 (UTC)

Not de minimis. The file description, categorization, and global usage all show that the copyrighted painting is a major/integral part of the photograph. jlwoodwa (talk) 17:07, 14 April 2026 (UTC)

 Delete Agreed. The use of the painting here is small, but deliberate and key to the overall concept of the image. We can't claim de minimis here. Andy Dingley (talk) 17:20, 14 April 2026 (UTC)
  • The answer to "is this a clever trick that will allow us to sidestep copyright" is usually "no". DS (talk) 17:47, 14 April 2026 (UTC)
I think we can pass this one File:Ruby Bridges and Obama.jpg as de minimis. This one, blurred, File:Ruby Bridges visits Barack Obama White House (blurred).jpg is obviously OK (its usefulness would be a separate question) but should we also delete its unblurred source: File:Ruby Bridges visits Barack Obama White House.jpg ?

  •  Comment I suggest blurring bits of the painting seen in background; foreground of photo shows meeting 2 notable people with articles about them in multiple Wikipedias. -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk)
+1 the image would not loose its educational value with the painting blurred (which is usually a sign that the painting is de minimis, but I can see why this is still a problematic case for de minimis). Nakonana (talk) 16:14, 28 May 2026 (UTC)

The author of the photo, war correspondent Evgeny Ananyevich Khaldei (in Russian: Евгений Ананьевич Халдей, prooflink), died in 1997. The photo was copyrighted in Russia until 2072 (1997+1+70+4). Yellow Horror (talk) 21:44, 14 April 2026 (UTC)

  • Working for TASS does not automatically make the copyright for every photographer's work belongs to TASS. Only works published by TASS or clearly attributed to TASS are covered by TASS's copyright, which, under current law, expires 70 years after the year of publication. The photograph in question does not have any sources attributing it to TASS, and it is not found in TASS's own photo archive.--Yellow Horror (talk) 23:17, 9 May 2026 (UTC)

File:The Borough Based Liberation Project Exhibit, Chinatown, New York, 2024 2.jpg

I am not sure if it should be deleted—it's a panorama of art. CastIronSeasoner (talk) 23:41, 14 April 2026 (UTC)

  •  Delete The most fundamental test of whether the art is de minimis is whether the photo would be useful if we didn't see the art. I think the answer is clear. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:01, 13 July 2026 (UTC)

File:The Borough Based Liberation Project Exhibit, Chinatown, New York, 2024 1.jpg

I am not sure if it should be deleted—it's a panorama of art, but the banner and lion might count as a protest banner and costume, rather than art that is copyrighted. CastIronSeasoner (talk) 23:41, 14 April 2026 (UTC)

  •  Delete Costumes are also copyrightable. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:00, 13 July 2026 (UTC)

The author is known: Nikolai Pavlovich Yanov (in Russian: Николай Павлович Янов, prooflink), he died in 1982. The photo is copyrighted in Russia until 2057 (1982+1+70+4). Yellow Horror (talk) 00:01, 15 April 2026 (UTC)

  • The photograph attributed to Yanov by the Central Naval Museum of the Russian Ministry of Defense is not exactly the same as the one presented on Wikimedia Commons, but both were definitely taken during the same photo shoot. Yanov's biography confirms his work in 1942 as a photographer for the Political Directorate of the Red Banner Baltic Fleet, which published the photo newspaper cited as the source.--Yellow Horror (talk) 00:17, 15 April 2026 (UTC)
