File:Europa Park Stadion logo.jpg[edit]

Unsure if this is still in compliance with COM:FOP Germany. Most types of major altercations are not allowed according to COM:FOP Germany#Prohibition of alteration, except some types. It is not sure if the removal of surroundings already violates limitations of German FOP. The source file is File:Stadtbahnhaltestelle Europa Park Stadion in Freiburg.jpg, which shows the darker background. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 07:15, 8 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

 Question: If we were to revert to a mere crop, which would result in a mere partial reproduction of the original photograph without any other sorts of alterations, would that be OK? In that case, we'd be at the state of the original crop. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 03:54, 13 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Rosenzweig: If you have time available, can you express your opinion about this DR? Thanks, Ellywa (talk) 07:45, 13 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Ellywa: Hm. The only thing (perhaps) copyrightable here IMO is the gryphin head in the logo of the SC Freiburg, Freiburg's football club. That logo was apparently created in 1924 (so no URAA problem) by a drawing teacher of the Freiburg university named Hans Dettelbacher, who was born in 1885 and apparently still alive in 1955. So it's not quite in the PD in Germany yet, at least not because the author died over 70 years ago. Now is that drawing below the threshold of originality? Probably yes in Germany, probably not in the US, but the 1924 date should solve the US copyright problem. So I think we can justify to  Keep the file. --Rosenzweig τ 20:48, 18 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Kept: per motivation of Rosenzweig. --Ellywa (talk) 21:39, 18 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
