COM:DW of a photo, de minimis doesn't apply. --Rédacteur Tibet (talk) 14:13, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

  •  Delete per nom, surely photo of non-free work. Herr Kriss (talk) 19:07, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
  • Could you please explain me more the problem, I take myself the picture in a Tibetan place, local people agree I take a picture of it. Both picture on the austel are public available ??? Could you eventually report the reason on my fr.wikipedia page I read more often ? Thanks in advance.

Looking more at the page, I suppose this is because there are picture on this page, do you think we should remove all picture of Tiananmen place, because there is Mao painting ? Those picture are publicly available, as every governementt chief pictures. I suppose this is more for political reason as Rédacteur Tibet and me are often opposed on Tibetan situation subject. There are some unfair usage of terms on the french Tibet page, as 'Historical Tibet map' without date (opposed to every historical), but as every country map of Tibet change several times per century, depending on war, alliances, agreements, etc... For example, some parts of Tibet are still discussed between India and China for 50 years for example, Hawaii is in USA only since 1959, Alsace and Lorraine switched several times between Germany and France in less than 100 years.

  •  Delete Photos of the historical architecture which might have copyrighted photos visible as minor elements would qualify as de minimus, but the main subject of this particular photo is clearly the two photographs. This is not to say you haven't photographed how they are displayed like a shrine creatively, but rather that the majority of the visible work is actually the work of someone else, whoever took the original photos. Thus it is a derivative work, so unless those two photos can be shown to be free of copyright or free licensed, it is not allowed on Commons. -- Infrogmation (talk) 12:47, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
  • The main art piece here is the religious hostel, do I have to ask for this too ? I suppose that China Ambassady could give answer for paintings ? These are not photographies. Does the fact that pictures are exposed in public area don't mean this is public stuff ?
I found a partial answer on another pictur of the wikipedia :
File:Mao Zedong portrait.jpg
, any form or art exposed in an outdoor public area can be photographied, copied, etc...
And another here : File:Mao and Chiang1945.jpg 'After this, picture become public domain in China after 50 years'. Intellectual property is recent in China, because marxism exclude any form of properties. Popolon (talk) 14:37, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
