If the problem is that it is a derivative work, it was taken in a public space; and given that in Mexico there is Freedom of Panorama, the photograph is appropriate. Luisalvaz (talk) 00:28, 24 March 2026 (UTC)

 Delete per nom, the problem is not that the photograph is a derivative work of the sign, the problem is the sign is a derivative work of a copyrighted character (Pikachu). Unless the artist who created the sign got permission from en:The Pokémon Company, then this image have to be deleted since it contains copyvio elements. Thanks. Tvpuppy (talk) 01:52, 24 March 2026 (UTC)
@Tvpuppy: Maybe you are unaware of cases like this: c:File:Leon hot air balloon festival 2010.jpg. But FOP in Mexico is ok with situation like these. Luisalvaz (talk) 03:23, 24 March 2026 (UTC)
  • If you read the DR discussion for the file you linked, the reason it is kept because it is believed that the Spongebob hot air ballon was authorized by Nickelodeon Brazil (hence permission was given by them).
  • The problem of this nominated image is not about the FOP in Mexico, the problem is the sign itself is infringing the copyright of the Pokemon character, Pikachu.
  • Unless evidence is provided that Pokemon Company had given permission for their copyrighted character to be used in this sign, then this image needs to be deleted.
  • Please see a similar DR discussion here: Commons:Deletion requests/File:Kuromi.jpg
Thanks. Tvpuppy (talk) 05:37, 24 March 2026 (UTC)
 Comment, in my opinion, one solution to keep the image is to blur the Pikachu character, then there will be no copyvio elements in the image. Thanks. Tvpuppy (talk) 14:53, 24 March 2026 (UTC)
 Keep The image is protected by applicable law because it was taken in a public space. The use of the original image is not restricted, and no authorization from the copyright holder is required. --ProtoplasmaKid (talk) 04:00, 24 March 2026 (UTC)
  •  Comment Mexico has generally generous FOP of things like artistic signs and murals in public; see {{FoP-Mexico}}. The only question is if the the inclusion of the Pikachu character (from Nintendo Japan) is a violation in itself. -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 13:07, 24 March 2026 (UTC)
    The possible violation of Nintendo's copyright is an external issue. The photography was created in the context of Wiki Loves Folklore, because the sign painting in street businesses is a local tradition that deserves a proper documentation. Luisalvaz (talk) 15:28, 24 March 2026 (UTC)
  • Delete FOP does not nullify the copyright relating to Pikachu. US law is relevant too here, not just Mexican law. Traumnovelle (talk) 23:50, 24 March 2026 (UTC)

Hello Omphalographer, thank you for your note. I would like to clarify that this image is not 'AI-generated' in the sense of a fictional creation. It is a restored and colorized version of an authentic historical black-and-white photograph of Wolfram von Soden.
The original image was deteriorated, and I have used technical tools to optimize its clarity and add color to make it more accessible for educational purposes, while strictly respecting the features of the original individual. This is a common practice for historical figures where no color high-quality originals exist.
I am happy to provide the link or the original black-and-white file to prove its authenticity. Could we reconsider the 'Out of scope' tag given its historical and educational value? Cálamo Inquieto (talk) 10:20, 24 March 2026 (UTC)
Hello Omphalographer, I would like to provide the specific source for the Wolfram von Soden image to clarify its historical nature.
The original photograph dates from 1930 (unknown photographer) and is archived at the Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek:
https://www.deutsche-digitale-bibliothek.de/item/6GBEX3LHRS2BCIZNSIDF64UBPS53UI6B
https://www.bildindex.de/document/obj20550847/fmb24268_07/?part=0 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cálamo Inquieto (talk • contribs) 13:13, 24 March 2026 (UTC)
I am currently preparing a biographical article on Von Soden and needed a high-quality visual representation. Since the 1930 original was significantly deteriorated, I used AI-assisted tools specifically for restoration and colorization purposes (denoising and sharpening). This process was strictly intended to improve the visual quality of an authentic historical document for educational use, maintaining full fidelity to the original features of the person. It is not a synthetically generated person, but a digital restoration of this archival source. Cálamo Inquieto (talk) 10:57, 24 March 2026 (UTC)
Thank you for your observation. Upon further cross-referencing of the biographical records and the original source, I have confirmed a case of homonymy with the surname. This image, while a period-accurate restoration, does not correspond to the Assyriologist Wolfram von Soden.
Accuracy is my top priority, so I am voluntarily removing the file from all projects and Wikidata. I appreciate the check, as it ensures the integrity of the encyclopedic content. Cálamo Inquieto (talk) 13:32, 24 March 2026 (UTC)

Work of M.A.Velichko (М. А. Величко). He died in 1986. Not {{PD-old-70}} Insider (talk) 08:12, 24 March 2026 (UTC)

Это центральное изображение Дачи А.Г. Демидова. Вся статья о Демидовском парке посвещена именно ей. Дачи больше нет, но фография в разных версия распространяется свободно. Сделать другую такую фотографию невозможно. Iaroslav79 (talk) 22:42, 24 March 2026 (UTC)
Подтвердите, пожалуйста, свободную лицензию для этого файла. Авторские права М. А. Величко истекают по ГК РФ в 2057 году. Insider (talk) 22:50, 25 March 2026 (UTC)
Фотография была опубликована в книге анонимно, это видно по снимку. Сменил лицензию на общественное достояние России. Iaroslav79 (talk) 01:56, 27 March 2026 (UTC)
Это не видно, и является игрой с правилами. Если есть два варианта, то в проекте для оценки всё равно будут использованы оба. И выбран наибольший срок, минимизирующий риски нарушения авторского права. Для анонимных публикаций, нужно подтверждение анонимности публикации и года обнародования, от него будет исчисляться срок авторского права. Insider (talk) 07:36, 27 March 2026 (UTC)
Также не стоит забывать что анонимная публикация отличается от публикации с неизвестным (неуказанным) автором. Если автор неизвестен, если я не ошибаюсь, то это будет где-то 100-120 лет от года первой публикации (на точную смерть автора) + 70 лет по ГК после смерти. То есть даже если найдется публикация 1940 года без явного указания анонимности, то это будет 2100+ год истечения авторского права. Insider (talk) 07:50, 27 March 2026 (UTC)
На подтверждённой странице Комитета по государственному контролю, использованию и охране памятников истории и культуры — структурного подразделения Правительства Санкт-Петербурга указано: "Главный дом, вид со стороны сада. Фотограф М. А. Величко. 1940 год.". Вернул верное указание авторства. Insider (talk) 08:29, 27 March 2026 (UTC)
Не надо так делать, удаление авторства, которое указано на странице госоргана занимающегося памятниками истории и культуры, и было указано в файле на момент вынесения на обсуждение ни к чему хорошему не приведет. Как я уже указал в описании отмены правки, то что автор фотографии не указан под фотографией в скриншоте ничего не значит, он может быть указан в конце книги в списке авторов фотографий, может быть не определён автором книги, может Вы "улучшили" фото и удалили его перед загрузкой, может удалил его кто-то другой кто разместил фотографию на другом ресурсе и тд и тп. Когда автор установлен удаление его, является нарушением его авторских прав. Insider (talk) 23:20, 27 March 2026 (UTC)

This is scanned page from the 1950 book of N. Belekhov (1904-1956) and A. Petrov (1906-1983). The author is not listed under the photo, so he could be one of the two authors of the book. (But I still think it's M. Velichko (1898-1986), as it's listed here). See also Commons:Deletion requests/File:Vue-de-la-residence-principale-depuis-le-lac-bas-3.jpeg. --Insider (talk) 23:48, 28 March 2026 (UTC)

As I have told you many times, this photograph has been published repeatedly in Soviet literature without attribution, notably in books by Gorbatenko, Belikhov, and others. Gorbatenko dates the photograph to the 1910s, and Belikhov’s book was published in 1950. Thus, this photograph is in the public domain in Russia under the license PD-Russia, clause 2b, since at least 2021. Iaroslav79 (talk) 09:24, 29 March 2026 (UTC)
In Soviet literature, this was published once in 1950 (at least, no other versions have been presented yet). In the 2022 edition, Gorbatenko already dates the photo to the first third of the 20th century. I've already written to the Committee for State Control, Use, and Protection of Historical and Cultural Monuments, let's see what they say and how they fix the own pages. Insider (talk) 09:09, 31 March 2026 (UTC)
Комитет по государственному контролю, использованию и охране памятников истории и культуры подтвердил, что это не Величко и не 1940 год. Верная информация на этой странице (автор не указан и 1930-е). Добавил это в описание файла. По хорошему бы ещё посмотреть книгу Белехова на наличие указания авторства в начале и конце книги. Если и там нет и предполагать, что это не один из авторов книги, то это может быть {{PD-Russia}} пункт 2б, если считать что "не указан = аноним" (см. дискуссии на форуме в РуВики Закон о сиротских произведениях, Сиротские произведения, Карманный атлас СССР, 1940 (11-е изд.)). Если не считать, то, видимо, намного больше. Но настолько в тонкостях авторского права в России я уже не разбираюсь. --Insider (talk) 13:58, 2 April 2026 (UTC)

Obtrusive, difficult to remove promotional watermarks that cannot be cropped out or easily edited out. These are in positions where they either cover aircraft features or are over clouds or other subject that cannot be easily cloned/healing-tooled over, and are in positions where they cannot be cropped out. Given the sheer number of aircraft photos on the Commons, of the same types of aircraft and often the exact same aircraft, I would argue these have no reasonably foreseeable educational use. No reasonable editor would use these photos over alternatives that are not watermarked. Also may fail COM:ADVERT.

As can be seen in this page on the author's website (which I linked in the copyright tag; see w:en:Say Hello to Black Jack for more context), he, after canceling his contract with its former publisher Kodansha, released it into public domain. Specifically, he wrote (which I translated via Google Translate): You may not be able to imagine what "liberalization of secondary use" means. It means that you can copy and transmit the work to the public, regardless of whether it is for commercial or non-commercial use, and you can also adapt and use it in any way (foreign language versions, parodies, animation, audio, novels, movies, merchandise, etc.). You can use the original data to publish books not only in Japan but all over the world. Anyone can make an app and sell the data, make an animation, movie, or TV drama and screen it as a commercial work, create and sell related goods, create derivative works as a doujin, and use any other secondary use of the work.

The template misrepresents the legal status; a custom license tag would be more appropriate, however it is unclear that the terms meet Commons' requirement for an explicit, unconditional permission allowing both commercial use and derivative works. --Jonatan Svensson Glad (talk) 23:58, 3 May 2026 (UTC)
    We could make a new template or edit this one. ~2026-27038-73 (talk) 23:59, 3 May 2026 (UTC)
 Delete the terms of use explicitly states that "4.Any use on the Amazon Kindle store is strictly prohibited unless you have individual permission.", being not compatible with COM:L. Mzaki (talk) 00:19, 26 June 2026 (UTC)
 Keep, the Creator did dedicate the series to the public domain as Link20xx included. Those so called copyrighted licenses the
People wanting to delete include are older news maybe. Idk could be wrong. If not it could require a new license. FernWalters20 (talk) 17:51, 2 August 2026 (UTC)

ЛенНИПИгенплана был ликвидирован в 1994 г. (см. Распоряжение КУГИ Санкт-Петербурга от 26 октября 1994 г. № 859-р.) и копирайт никому не принадлежит. Документ этот распространяется свободно. Я его улучшил и переработал. В такой версии, как я и указывал, он принадлежит только мне. Поэтому я его и загрузил. Просьба оставить документ, на который ссылалось много статей в Википедии.
ЛенНИПИгенплана was dissolved in 1994 (see Order No. 859-r of the Committee for Urban Planning and Architecture of St. Petersburg dated October 26, 1994), and the copyright belongs to no one. This document is freely available. I have improved and revised it. In this version, as I have indicated, it belongs solely to me. That is why I uploaded it. Please leave the document, which has been referenced in many Wikipedia articles.

The closure of this organization does not entail the removal of copyrights. We need sources for free licensing. Original file at 2011. Are your improvements limited to border cropping? In any case, it will be the derivative work from the copyrighted scheme.  Delete Insider (talk) 22:34, 25 March 2026 (UTC)
The link to the file dating back to 2011 has nothing to do with the copyright and with the original file. The plan was developed in 1990 by ЛенНИПИгенплана. ЛенНИПИгенплана was a soviet 100% state-owned agency, and it was dissolved in 1994. Accordingly to the Russian laws, this work is not protected by copyright under Article 1259 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, see e.g. this link.  Keep Iaroslav79 (talk) 23:21, 26 March 2026 (UTC)
The link to the 2011 file is provided so that we can compare and understand approximately what work you have done to improve the file. Insider (talk) 17:09, 27 March 2026 (UTC)

  •  Delete ЛенНИПИгенплан was not a state nor local government agency, so the documents it published are not covered by the PD-Ru-Exempt. The plan's primary author appears to be the designer, whose signature appears in the lower left corner of the original (not shown in the fragment uploaded to Wikimedia Commons). The project's chief engineer, the head of the engineering and transport department, and the institute's chief engineer, whose signatures appear in the lower right corner of the original (not shown in the fragment uploaded to Wikimedia Commons), are likely also considered co-authors. Since the plan in question was presumably created in 1990, its authors clearly died no earlier than that date, and may still be alive. Consequently, it will not enter the public domain for a long time.--Yellow Horror (talk) 23:28, 27 March 2026 (UTC)
