Delete, this is a 2015 statue. Tbhotch™ 03:42, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, didn't a recent WMF statement here say that U.S. panorama laws did not have to be followed for Commons or for English Wikipedia? Or was it just English Wikipedia. Thanks. Randy Kryn (talk) 10:24, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I won't say that didn't happen, but this would be a big deal indeed. Do you have a source? Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 16:34, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
As far as I have investigated (I also read a similar comment after the Ed Martin threats), the discussion is at Commons_talk:Freedom_of_panorama#Proposal to abolish acceptance, but it doesn't seem to have consensus on any change. The lawyer apparently said that if Commons wanted, the FOP would be laxed, but consensus would still be required to make such changes: "The off-the-record consensus there [at WMF] seems to be that Commons is almost always over-conservative about copyright policies, opting for a level of caution that almost no lawyer would advise."

Delete, copyrighted statue, and there is no Freedom of Panorama for public art in the US. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contributions) 12:38, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete My bad. I transferred this from en.Wikipedia, not realising that the statue was not in the UK, like the artist's other works Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 10:01, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
