Per c:COM:FOP US, there is no freedom of panorama in the United States for 2D graphic works, whether displayed temporarily or permanently. ✗plicit 00:33, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: The image in question cannot be kept as free media due to the copyright issues cited by the nominator, nor should it be kept and relicensed as non-free, since I don't believe that it would meet the requirements for {{Non-free 2D art}}. Additionally, after reviewing current uses of the image in question, it would more than likely fail WP:NFCC#1 (replaceability by text) and WP:NFCC#8 (contextual significance), in all five articles in which it is present.

Two problems. Firstly, I cannot spot any "cover art" that would prevent us from uploading such a photo to Commons. Hence, it's not a fair use image. Secondly, and more importantly, this photo is under copyright as the website it's taken from does not publish its content under a free license. Schwede66 06:45, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy Keep: Firstly, the image in question does appear to depict the covers of the books, so the license template used on the description page is valid, as far as I can tell. Secondly, if the image is copyrighted then fair-use is the only avenue through which it can be used on Wikipedia. Furthermore, the image appears to pass all 10 WP:NFCCP criteria, so I don't see any issue with maintaining the status quo here. As such, I am recommending WP:SK, per Applicability point 3 (erroneous nomination). FHSIG13 TALK 08:47, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, per all of the points made just above by Fhsig13. Iljhgtn (talk) 16:43, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and relicense: Out of copyright. New Zealand copyright law stated that the work published prior to 1974 (50 years after creator's death) are public domain. The author died in 1963. In my opinion, its copyrights was already expired in 2013 then. The nomination is a bit erroneous but it's true. Kys5g talk! 14:04, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
