Image:Atlas New York.JPG[edit]

This is a photo taken by the user on Fifth Avenue, New York. Suggesting it for deletion may represent confusion between copyrightable image (i.e. a particular photograph, a modern sculpture in a private location) and uncopyrightable streetscape image, which falls under the principle of "panorama". No photograph of any street with modern buildings would be acceptable for Wikipedia if the items in the public scenery were copyright.--Wetman 02:59, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Are you serious? What is your authority for that proposition? ThreeOneFive (talk) 16:52, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete There is no freedom of panorama in the US for artwork. The sculpture is by Lee Lawrie and was installed in 1937, so the image is non-free. Calliopejen1 (talk) 17:33, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What does that mean? What is a 'freedom of panorama'? Why does the date of installation matter? 98.193.90.207 (talk) 23:06, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. After research by some people at Commons (see Commons:Image:Detail2 - Rockefeller Center.jpg), it has been determined that Lawrie's Atlas sculpture was installed without a copyright notice and thus can be considered to be {{PD-US-no notice}}. howcheng {chat} 17:40, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The rationale by howcheng from commons appears to support free use, prima facie. — Becksguy (talk) 03:40, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
