The result of the discussion was: keep. The concern about FOP not applying in this instance is well taken, but so is the question about the threshold of originality. The page Marchjuly cites on Commons references a few images which were kept for this reason and nobody has disagreed, so keep. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 09:13, 17 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. The idea that "architecture" is restricted to buildings with a door is rather far-fetched.
  Cenotaph etc show that a building doesn't need a door to be architecture. See the Wikipedia article on Architecture: "Architecture is both the process and the product of planning, designing, and constructing buildings or any other structures." Tim riley talk 20:01, 30 May 2018 (UTC)[reply
  ]
  • Within copyright law, the term "architectural work" has a specific meaning.
    The Cenotaph, Whitehall
    would normally be treated as a sculpture rather than a "work of architecture", I think. The US FOP exception reads:

Note specifically that the work must be embodied in a building for the FOP exception to apply. A grave is normally not embodied in a building. --

• I believe
  Stefan2 is correct when it comes to how a "building" is defined per US Copyright law as explained in c:COM:FOP#United States. It's not so much that the grave needs to have a door per se, but rather whether it would be considered to be "habitable by humans and intended to be both permanent and stationary" which is specifically "designed for human occupancy". I don't think a grave would be treated as "building" in this case since I don't think (and this is going to sound worse than intended) such structures would be considered "habitable by humans" in this context. -- Marchjuly (talk) 23:55, 30 May 2018 (UTC)[reply

• Keep - It does not look to me like anything in the image would meet the threshold of originality such that freedom of panorama would be a factor (aside from de minimis elements). — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 17:42, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per above and the image helps the user's understanding.--DBigXray 17:11, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

patently unviable rationale for form being in the public domain—larceny is not a federal crime—so not the work product of a U.S. government employee Neonorange (talk) 16:19, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• comment image metadata shows
  Corbis Corporation is copyright holder — Neonorange (talk) 19:50, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply

• Comment Whether or not Corbis holds the copyright, Malcolm Little was arrested by local police in Massachusetts, not by the federal government, so the specific public domain rationale used is inappropriate. I don't have a clue whether mugshots from Massachusetts from the 1940s are or are not in the public domain. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 01:39, 12 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment. The file page analysis is plainly invalid. However, even in the unlikely event that this image was originally published carrying the required copyright notice, I deeply, deeply doubt that the copyright holder, presumably the town where the arrest occurred, filed the mandatory copyright renewal notice 28 years later. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo). Treated like dirt by many administrators since 2006. (talk) 11:02, 13 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm not an expert in the subject, but that may well be the case. I've seen other instances in which Corbis has been aggressive about asserting copyright in images that belong in the public domain. If the conclusion is that the image is free, however, I'll find a better quality version of the mugshot (i.e., one in which the card in front of Little isn't scratched out). — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 19:57, 13 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • It appears that particular mugshot may only be available with the scratched-out text. Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention credits it to Corbis. There are a few similar mugshots of Little (he was arrested more than once, and also photographed while in prison). According to this website, its (badly cropped) copy of Little's prison mugshot is in the public domain. Click on the image to see the attribution. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 20:14, 13 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Probably/tentatively Keep - According to the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts website, "Those records created by Massachusetts government agencies and institutions held by the Massachusetts Archives are not copyrighted and are available for public use." The Massachusetts page of the Harvard Library Copyright resource mentions that quote, but hedges it a bit. Based on this, mugshots are considered a public record as such. It looks like this was part of the Bettmann Archive that Corbis bought. It happens frequently that such archives include things that would otherwise be freely available, including material published long enough ago to be conclusively in public domain, and to slap a copyright notice on them. I don't have much experience with Corbis in particular, but I've seen Getty do that several times. If it's an image in the public domain, there's just no copyright leg to stand on. There are some elements of gray area here, like in the distinction between state/municipality property/records, but I'm not seeing arguments which would give cause for concern. Maybe best to keep on Wikipedia rather than Commons, but it seems viable. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 19:41, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
