Files in Category:Monopoly (game)[edit]

DW of a copyrighted board game, not COM:DM.

Haven't gone through all of these, but at least one of them is PD-simple (see File:Monopoly expensive squares.jpg). -FASTILY 05:00, 2 March 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]
File:Manchester Street Monopoly.jpg – would that really come under copyright? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Schwede66 (talk • contribs) 05:08, 2 March 2019‎ (UTC)Reply[reply]

SPEEDY  Keep of File:BoardGamePatentMagie.jpg , File:BoardGamePatentMagie.png , File:The Landlord's Game patent (US748626).pdf -- these are pre-1924 U.S. patents, which are uncopyrighted according to several independent principles. These files really should not have been nominated in the first place... AnonMoos (talk) 06:57, 2 March 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Comment: at the very least, File:German Monopoly board in the middle of a game.jpg is embedded by Commons:Copyright rules by subject matter § Board games as an explicit example of something allowed due to being substantially the same design as in the 1935 patent. It has included it as such since at least early 2008, when that page was created in its current location. The claims there should be borne in mind. -- HarJIT (talk) 22:38, 14 March 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Please read here: Commons:Copyright rules by subject matter#Board games: the 'original' Monopoly board is now out of copyright.  Keep -- Robert Weemeyer (talk) 08:48, 19 March 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]

 Kept, but some are  deleted. This was really bad deletion request. I'm surprised, that it wasn't closed as keep for procedural reasons. At first, original monopoly game is out of copyright. At second, here are anti-monopoly files, which are copyrighted. At third and fourth, for some files de minimis and threshold of originality should be considered. In addition, here are sculptures and graffiti made in different countries of the world, where freedom of panorama should be considered. I try to give opinion for every nominated file.

Per Commons:Deletion requests/File:Monopoly Kings Cross.jpg raised against a different crop of the same board photo, these close-ups of game artwork go against COM:TOYS.

Withdrawn now that I check the original 1935 File:DarrowPage1.png board again, which uses very similar car and bulb artwork: only the train was changed for the UK edition. --Lord Belbury (talk) 11:06, 20 February 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Kept, nomination withdrawn. -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 17:09, 20 February 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
