Files in Category:Statues in Batumi

There's no COM:FOP Georgia. Using the category slideshow, I checked whether the file descriptions contained any indications about artists or creation dates. None did. So, unless it can be demonstrated that a statue creator has died before 1955, the nominees are to be deleted as copyvios. COM:De minimis is not applicable either, as the protected parts are main elements of the picture or referenced in the filename (File:Batumi2025statue-on-a-roof-with-almost-clean-sky.jpg and hence a deliberate depiction).

Grand-Duc (talk) 00:09, 18 June 2025 (UTC)

File:ბათუმი 19 Batumi.jpg is clearly a de minimis case. The fact that the file is categorised in some "Statues" category is not by itself a sufficient criterion for it to be considered a copyright violation, it only states that a statue is recognisable in the photo frame, but it may be far from prominent overall, just like in this case. Yuri Samoylov (talk) 09:35, 18 June 2025 (UTC)
No, it's not clearly a De minimis case, but a borderline one. The statue serves as prominent guide of the eye, it is consciously included in the composition, the average viewer would notice it missing. That are all points against De minimis. The factor supporting the DM notion is that the total area occupied by the statue(s) in the photo is small. Regards, Grand-Duc (talk) 12:43, 18 June 2025 (UTC)
This is a textbook case of de minimis. The statues are incidental and occupy a small portion of the frame. The main subject of the image is the cityscape of Batumi, not the sculptures themselves. The photo documents the urban layout and atmosphere of the city, and the statues serve merely as part of the environment. Therefore, COM:DM applies, and the file should be kept.

File:Lion Statue in front of the Batumi Drama Theatre.jpg is very old https://georgiaabout.com/gold-lion-figurine-second-half-of-the-3rd-millennium-b-c-kakheti-tsnori/ Vitaly Zdanevich (talk) 15:55, 18 June 2025 (UTC)
This statue is an enlarged reproduction of an ancient artifact — a gold lion figurine from the 3rd millennium BC (Trialeti culture, Kakheti, Georgia). The original is clearly in the public domain, and the statue itself does not demonstrate threshold of originality for modern copyright. The same lion appears on Georgian money (5 tetri coin, 1 lari bill) and is widely replicated in public monuments (e.g., Colchis Fountain in Kutaisi). FingerWiki (talk) 01:15, 19 June 2025 (UTC)
@Vitaly Zdanevich, @FingerWiki: please put this kind of information in the file description! That was the place I checked befpre opening the DR, see the intro. This request is relevant in case you're also participating in other DR about Georgian 3D art. I'll fix the info in the lion statue myself, but as you can apparently cope with local writing systems (I can't), please take over for others. Regards, Grand-Duc (talk) 02:12, 19 June 2025 (UTC)
Photo File:Batumi, Georgia (28323326231).jpg contains a monument to Memed Abashidze, which was made by Elguja Amashukeli in 1998, according to the sculptor's article in the Georgian Wikipedia. The author died only in 2002. The removal is apparently justified. FingerWiki (talk) 00:30, 19 June 2025 (UTC)
I suggest the addition of Category:Undelete in 2073 in this case. Regards, Grand-Duc (talk) 02:17, 19 June 2025 (UTC)
In the photos File:Batumi, Georgia - panoramio (77).jpg and File:Chavchavadze Monument Batumi.jpg a monument to Ilya Chavchavadze from 1982, the author of which is Vakhtang Davitaia, apparently. He was still alive, no information about his death was found. Also relevant for deletion, apparently. FingerWiki (talk) 00:43, 19 June 2025 (UTC)
File File:Batumi2025-statue-of-a-bottle.jpg contains a sculpture "Sensitive" by a modern artist Alessio Ronaldi installed in the 2010s, so it is also relevant for deletion. FingerWiki (talk) 00:52, 19 June 2025 (UTC)
File File:Batumi2025statue-rotation-in-the-ring-road.jpg contains the sculpture "Rotation" by the modern author Tamara Kvesitadze installed in 2010, so it is also relevant for deletion. FingerWiki (talk) 01:02, 19 June 2025 (UTC)
In the photos File:First Love Statue.jpg and File:ქანდაკება პირველი სიყვარული.jpg is the works is the work "First Love" by sculptor Irakli Tsuladze, also a contemporary author. The work "Me, You and Batumi" is also his in the file File:Batumi, Georgia - panoramio (57).jpg. FingerWiki (talk) 01:08, 19 June 2025 (UTC)
The Medea monument in Batumi on the file File:Statue of Medea. Batumi.jpg is the work of the author David Khmaladze, apparently a contemporary artist. FingerWiki (talk) 01:24, 19 June 2025 (UTC)

Files in Category:Statues of animals in Batumi

There's no COM:FOP Georgia. Using the category slideshow, I checked whether the file descriptions contained any indications about artists or creation dates. None did. So, unless it can be demonstrated that a statue creator has died before 1955, the nominees have to get deleted as copyvios. All are categorized as animal statues, so that's contrary to a COM:De minimis#Guidelines permissibility check.

Grand-Duc (talk) 00:17, 18 June 2025 (UTC)

I'm not understanding correctly why the picture is subject to deletion. The picture shows a view of the city of Batumi. You can delete the category related to animals.--Soghomon Matevosyan (talk) 09:51, 18 June 2025 (UTC)

File:Batumi Dec 2019 08 40 45 234000.jpeg - The statue was erected in 1930s , the author is unknown. Possibly the following clause may be applied: Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Georgia#General rules, "If a work is published anonymously or under a pseudonym, copyright lasts for 70 years from year of publication unless the author reveals themself or there is no doubt about who they are, in which case it lasts for 70 years after their year of death."
File:Batumi Panorama (30).jpg - The statue may be cropped out of the image so that it shows only Category:Batumi Port Authority.
File:Statues in Batumi.jpg - Previously singled out for keeping at Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Medea Statue in Batumi.

File:Quatermass 2 (1957) trailer - Brian Donlevy.png

There is no Freedom of Panorama in the Philippines, so images of copyrighted architecture and monuments cannot be distributed freely on media archive sites like Wikimedia Commons. The current faux-American classical facade dates to 2000s while its dome was completed in 2009. Still under building designers' copyright. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contributions) 01:03, 18 June 2025 (UTC)

No freedom of panorama in France, as per COM:FOP France. Previously, the Louvre Pyramid was deleted (Commons:Deletion requests/File:Louvre Pyramid.jpg, for example). As the pyramid occupies more than half the image, I don't think a de minimis claim would work either. This can be uploaded locally to the English Wikipedia, similar to the aforementioned file. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 03:01, 18 June 2025 (UTC)

File:The Silence (11030194386).jpg

Test case deletion request, as we have dozens of images of exhibits under Category:Doctor Who Experience.

Per a concern at Commons:Village pump/Copyright/Archive/2025/06#Is this Doctor Who image derivative?, the exhibit is apparently a temporary event, and this is confirmed by w:en:Doctor Who exhibitions#The Doctor Who Experience (2012–2017). Not permanent in nature, and cannot benefit from the British Freedom of Panorama rule.

Additionally, per the enwiki article's first paragraph, "some have been intended to be permanent, and others seasonal; most have been staged at existing tourist locations. None are currently open to the public."

JWilz12345 (Talk|Contributions) 04:13, 18 June 2025 (UTC)

Keep. It was a permanently exhibited object in the context of the museum itself. That the museum only lasted 5 years is not germane to freedom of panorama here. IronGargoyle (talk) 18:12, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
Do you have a source for this? Presumably by the same logic you could argue that an object which is exhibited in a tent for a week is permanent in the context of the tent (which was also constructed for a week). It is a wonderful world (talk) 15:26, 16 July 2025 (UTC)
A source for what? That the statue was permanent in the context of the museum's 5 year existence? I doubt there would be any citations for a single statue (and that would be an absurd standard of proof to require). I can tell you this photograph was taken in 2013 and the statue was still there when I personally visited the museum in 2015. I will also say that comparing this to a one-week tent is a straw man argument. It has nothing in common with a museum which existed for 5 years. IronGargoyle (talk) 17:16, 16 July 2025 (UTC)

According to DAC's informational guide on FoP for public art, "permanence excludes temporary displays or any relevant work which may be removed from time to time." It does seem clear that Doctor Who exhibitions may be removed from time to time, to be exhibited in another place. The craft depicted in the Flickr image fails UK FoP. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contributions) 15:44, 16 July 2025 (UTC)
Temporary displays in public places are disallowed, yes (though read further along in what you omitted from your quotation, and you will see that in premises open to the public permanence may not actually be required), but this is not a temporary display. It is a permanent display in a museum which happened to close. If we follow your logic, it becomes a slippery slope where any of the permanent works in any defunct museum become disallowed. Or if a municipality decided to bulldoze a city park with its statues and build a shopping center in its place, you would insist that those statues were temporary? IronGargoyle (talk) 17:27, 16 July 2025 (UTC)

Comment I made a comment in response to another on-wiki discussion about this here. Not sure how much it'll help either side but figured it'd be good to link since there was another discussion about this already. Pokelego999 (talk) 16:11, 22 July 2025 (UTC)

That is helpful. It seems clear that the majority of sources from the opening of the museum mentioned its permanence and sources from the closure were more likely to mention that it was temporary. This strikes me as evidence of hindsight bias or an attempt to save face. If they had known it was going to be temporary from the beginning, they would have mentioned that, as it certainly would have driven up attendance. IronGargoyle (talk) 19:06, 22 July 2025 (UTC)

This is completely consistent with the nominated file. Howardcorn33 (talk) 06:18, 18 June 2025 (UTC)

However the source describes red as CC0000, rgb(204,0,0) and yellow as FFFF00, rgb(255,255,0). Safes007 (talk) 06:37, 18 June 2025 (UTC)

File:Flag of Scotland Island.svg

This file was initially tagged by Safes007 as Dw no source since (dw no source since) Groetjes, Peter (talk) 15:24, 18 June 2025 (UTC)

I struggled with what to say, and how to enter it in the description when uploading an image. The file I made was modelled (with some small differences) after the flag in the video I mentioned in the Graphics Lab, by the Naval Historical Society of Australia, with a presentation by John Vaughan. The second source mentioned is the commercial website Australiana Flags which mentions the year it was made: 1996.

video 47:06

Scotland Island (1996)

video 47:22

City of Wollongong (1982)

This John Vaughan profile site (i just discovered) confirms that he designed both flags. It even shows a possibly earlier version of the Scotland Island flag, than shown in the video and on Australiana Flags.

The flag of Wollongong has an Australian license description, which in 2018 could only be valid if the type of material (a flag) would fall in category D. (That's in line with the idea of basic elements design, Scottish flag + Southern cross.) It says that copy rights will expire when the material has been published 25 years ago.

As the flag of Scotland Island was from 1996, it should be copy right free since 2021. But I'm not a lawyer, so I can only presume, but not be certain about that. I'd hoped someone with more knowledge would have added the needed info. Maybe Alexphangia, thiscouldbeauser or Flagvisioner might know if this copy right license does indeed apply to this flag?

It seems that the 2x3 format of the flag is a naval flag, and 1x2 is a land flag in Australia. Should the size of the flag be altered to 1x2?

File:Dino Beganovic Barcelona 2023.jpg

Reuploaded. Likely not own works but screenshots - many are clearly identified as such in the EXIF data or visual characteristics suggest screengrabs (missing full EXIF data unlike other uploads by this user). XxAlanEZExX (talk) 20:07, 18 June 2025 (UTC)

Oppose - nothing in the metadata indicates that this is a screenshot to my understanding, and the camera specs are consistent with other photos the user has uploaded in the past that I can't find elsewhere online. If there's something specific about the metadata I don't understand that indicates it's a screenshot, let me know, but from what I'm reading, this is just a crop of a photo the user themselves took on their iPhone of Beganovic Hello alpine (talk) 02:45, 3 July 2025 (UTC)
