Image:Nuvo!a ball.svg and others[edit]

Derivative works of nintendo artwork -- -- Drini 21:53, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Little gem from Flickrball: This image was originally posted to Flickr as PokEBall. I then cropped it. It's current status clearly shows that it is licensed as CC-BY-SA-2.0. Anyway it's a PokeBall from Pokemon. (Derivated works of such are not copyrighted by Nintendo.).
  • The question is if this is even a Pokeball (i'm referring to the first image here). It's not white on the bottom side, but blue, and the whole design is so simple it seems pretty ineligible for copyright to me. Husky (talk to me) 22:28, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
So?, it's still a derivative work (changing colors), which is what I stated. -- Drini 22:35, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Besides, the fact that you identify a pokeball when you see it, shows the design isn't as simple as to be ineligible for copyright. -- Drini 14:28, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delete Terms of use of pokemon-related stuff is at http://www.pokemon.com/termsofuse.asp Not compatible with Commons Barcex 22:48, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep Well, it's artwork, but what about some Harry Potter images? I don't think we have to delete them. Specially Portal Poké logo (which is the logo used for Portal Pokémon, since we can't use the Pokémon logo), the Nuvo!a balls and Poké Ball icon. They are still fan-arts, but if we don't have those images, then our work would be lost in non Fair-Use Wikipedia. I ask reflection of this point of view for you. The balls are the most important thing in the Pokémon articles in Wikipedia. For the Pokémon.com terms of use. It only states it is forbidden to copy text and images from the website.

Fan art Harry Potter images are derivative works and also have to go. -- Drini 02:20, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The reason you can't use the logo is the same reason you can't use the pokeballs. Use a text-only portal logo. Fanart is Derivative work. It's tough, but no fair use in commons, including derivative works of copyrighted stuff. -- Drini 14:28, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
All right, it seems the works will be deleted, but can't you do that after we feature our article in the Lusophone Wikipedia by September (seriously. If we feature this article, it'll only be shown in the main page by September)? ManecoWifi 12:51, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Definitely no. If it's a copyright violation, featuring it on the front page makes us more vulnerable on the legal side.-- Drini 13:59, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
What do you sugest, then to an alternative image? ManecoWifi 14:46, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Not use an image :P or use Image:Portal poke selected.PNG -- Drini 20:22, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There's consensus that they're copyrighted and thus not allowed. Instructions say: Deletion requests for obvious copyright violations can be closed earlier, so Deleting'.
