Commons talk:Deletion requests/Images of Category:Burj Khalifa

Untitled

Why are all the Burj Dubai images being deleted?

Because there is no Freedom of Panorama in that country. See the DR rational please. ZooFari 19:12, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

2 days

Admittedly, I'm unsure of Commons policy on this, but IMHO 2days is insufficient time to assess these forty images to see whether we can move them to the English Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. How do I take this to deletion review? Astronaut (talk) 13:28, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

You can't move all images to the local Wikipedia and claim fair use. The fair use guidelines allow only one image of the subject. If the images are a clear violation of the FoP policy, then they could be deleted sooner. If you want to re-open the discussion, it must be for a good objection. Otherwise go out and re-search an image to retain at the local project. ZooFari 19:10, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

No need for deletion review to take place- these images were deleted completely legitimately. If you want me to, I can upload one on the English Wikipedia for you- Image:Burj_Khalifa_006.jpg may be a good choice. J Milburn (talk) 21:52, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

I concur with Astronaut. I've asked for the discussion to be reopened and the files undeleted. Among those files, there are clear cases where BK is the only building that you see, but there are also cases where BK is not the central subjtect and occupies less than 5% of the image. Deleting the latter files is over-zealous. BK can be seen 100 km around, we are not going to delete every photography where we see the BK's spine.

On the contrary, if the architect has a copyright on his work, as it is the case, then the outline of the building (like in File:Skyscrapercompare_he.svg) is also a copyrigthed work and the numerous comparison diagrams would have to be deleted too as they are derived work of copyrighted materials. I don't think we have to go this way either, but it's just a matter of consistency. — Xavier, 11:57, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

You're welcome to open another DR, I suppose. J Milburn (talk) 12:29, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

WTF

I know this is not constructive feedback but frankly, this is complete and utter bullshit. Wikilawyering at its worst. Some common sense would be appropriate. Jon Harald Søby (talk) 18:35, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

Are you objecting the copyrighted world, or complaining because the deletion was not appropriate? ZooFari 19:07, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

Absolutely no wikilawyering has taken place. Equally, we would not be wikilawyering if we were to delete a scan of a photo from a book. It's exactly the same principle- creating an image of a copyrighted work. J Milburn (talk) 21:49, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

And now ...

... you need to delete ALL the content of Category:Skyscrapers in Dubai, you know. 93.144.130.12 22:01, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

There are numerous images on Commons that really need to be deleted. If you want to help out, you're more than welcome. J Milburn (talk) 22:36, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

Moving images to local Wikipedia

Do anybodody know if there is any automated way to move images between local wikipedia and commons. Or between local wikipedias. ? --87.95.36.33 07:37, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
