File:Metal X (exe oc) by MikoPlushie.jpg
Character is clearly a derivative of (Neo) Metal Sonic, unlike File:Floee the Fox graphic - 2019.png, which is based on a typical fox in the Sonic art style (art style is not copyrighted). Also, unlike File:Scribbly Silver the Hedgehog.svg, the design here is close to the canon counterpart's. PrincessPandaWiki (talk) 02:53, 11 January 2026 (UTC)
Delete I don't think it looks particularly like the image here. However, I don't see how it's in scope. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 08:26, 11 January 2026 (UTC)
- I uploaded the image specifically to use it in the Wikipedia article w:Sonic the Hedgehog fandom. It was in scope per COM:INUSE before PrincessPanda reverted it.
- Edit: I'm voting
Keep, obviously. The designs are different enough. - Edit 2: Proof that it was in use. Also, it's been almost two months, come on.

File:ABC-Bogen Lorenz Frølich 02.png
Out of scope: contrary to the file description, this image is an AI-generated reconstruction of File:ABC-Bogen Lorenz Frølich 01.jpg with some substantial differences (note, for example, that the cross-hatching in the background is much lighter). Omphalographer (talk) 04:05, 11 January 2026 (UTC)
- If I use AI to crop any public domain photo, will you also demand its removal from Commons? Are we getting paranoid? A public domain photo cannot be modified on anyone's computer using any application! How many photos currently uploaded to Commons have been cropped, rotated, or filtered in some way? Should they all be removed? Abraham (talk) 07:04, 11 January 2026 (UTC)
Keep Not really a "AI-generated reconstruction" just upscaled and cleaned. I have no objection to labelling it as upscaled. People cleanup images by hand in GIMP or Photoshop all the time. Wikisource encourages cleaning up images for books they host. --RAN (talk) 15:19, 11 January 2026 (UTC)

Violation of COM:FOP Japan. 2D work. (Oinkers42) (talk) 06:18, 11 January 2026 (UTC)
Keep. I would argue that since the subject of this photo is the menu itself, the individual food items qualify as COM:DEMINIMIS. They are incidentally included, but not the primary focus. The COM:DEMINIMIS page mentions that cases where Copyrighted work X is identifiable but is a small part of a larger work, so that the larger work cannot easily be shown without showing X
andCopyrighted work X is a part of the larger work, and its inclusion is unavoidable
as beingOK Very likely
, and I think that applies here. ArtemisiaGentileschiFan (talk) 15:50, 11 January 2026 (UTC)

Keep The only copyrightable element is the little dude in the top corner of the poster. I think that's de minimis, and if people disagree, I'm happy to pixelate it out. Just give me a ping. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 08:34, 11 January 2026 (UTC)
Keep: I have explained all elements on the work at the "licensing" section. Please explain which 2D element you find non-free or copyvio. Again:
- The subject is far under COM:TOO Taiwan, either dots or flags.
- The little dude at top, the Carrefour logo at bottom: de minimis. See COM:DM Taiwan.

Files in Category:Paintings by Karl Hofer
Karl Hofer died in 1955, so these works are in the public domain in Germany now. However, all of these paintings were created after 1930, so (because of the URAA) they are still protected by copyright in the United States, and the files should be deleted.
They can be restored 95 + 1 years after creation (assuming publication in the year they were created) or 95 + 1 years after first publication if that is known to be later than the year of creation. I will add notes and undeletion categories.

The advertising poster should be cut out. On the other hand, the image should be removed due to the strong presence of the advertisement poster in the center of the shot. Freedom of panorama can only protect permanently placed art. Lukas Beck (talk) 18:27, 11 January 2026 (UTC)
Keep This is {{PD-GermanGov}} as a publication of the Bundeswehr. IronGargoyle (talk) 06:06, 12 January 2026 (UTC)
Disagree I wasn’t aware of this exception. Thank you for pointing that out. Based on the public domain status of ordinances, statutes, and legal decrees, I don't yet see why that should also apply to advertising posters. Lukas Beck (talk) 08:27, 12 January 2026 (UTC)
- Point 2 of the law cited in the template expands this to a broader range of communications from the government, noting that these are also not objects of copyright. It does later prohibit modification of these works, but this is pretty clearly a non-copyright restriction. There are similar restrictions for certain types of US Government works, but we allow these because they are statutorily in the public domain like this. IronGargoyle (talk) 08:46, 12 January 2026 (UTC)
We do not allow media based on § 5 (2) UrhG for a reason. The prohibition to modify is not a non-copyright restriction, it is the same as the -ND clauses in the Creative Commons licenses, and we specifically disallow those (Commons:Licensing#Forbidden licenses) for the same reason. The German Wikipedia does not allow § 5 (2) UrhG files as well for the same reason (de:Wikipedia:Bildrechte#Amtliche Werke). --Rosenzweig τ 09:58, 12 January 2026 (UTC)
Delete- Upon closer examination, I think that poster is below COM:TOO Germany, not original enough for copyright protection. So while what I wrote about § 5 (2) Urh stands, I don't think deletion is necessary in this particular case. --Rosenzweig τ 11:16, 12 January 2026 (UTC)

The Turkish freedom of panorama legislation doesn't apply to artworks located inside public buildings. Günther Frager (talk) 18:41, 11 January 2026 (UTC)
Keep Hello @Günther Frager, the location where the photo was taken belongs to Metro Istanbul. Metro Istanbul is not a public company; as it is a private company, it does not meet the relevant criteria. For your information. Kayra (talk) 18:56, 11 January 2026 (UTC)
- @Kayra: a public building is a building were the general public has access, like schools, hospital, airports, train stations, etc. Did you read the actual link? It was taken neither in a public street nor in avenue nor in a square. Günther Frager (talk) 21:08, 11 January 2026 (UTC)

There is no freedom of panorama in Russia for sculpture and probably the photo violates sculptor's copyright. This is after-WWII plaque. Taivo (talk) 22:14, 11 January 2026 (UTC)- Finding the sculptors of commemorative plaques in Russia seems near impossible via internet (in my experience). All the information I could find is that the plaque is located at the Yurin Street. The street is named after the Soviet hero who is depicted in the plaque, and the street was named after him in 1950, so that one could make an educated guess that the plaque was probably unveiled on that occasion to celebrate the renaming of the street. No clue regarding the sculptor of the plaque, unfortunately. Nakonana (talk) 13:15, 15 March 2026 (UTC)

There is no freedom of panorama in Russia for sculpture and probably the photo violates sculptor's copyright. This is 1989 statue and protected with copyright in USA until 2085 (95+1 years from publication) – in Russia maybe more, depends on when the sculptor died. Taivo (talk) 22:26, 11 January 2026 (UTC)- Sculptors: Николай Викторович Звонков (b. 1936) and Михаил Алексеевич Кульгачев (b. 1947), per w:ru:Улица Шукшина (Барнаул).
