Files in Category:Cosplay of Darth Vader

[edit]

COM:DW of a copyrighted character. And, COM:COSTUME says "If the costume is a completely original design (not based on any existing character design), and the designer has released it under a free license, it is permitted". These are based on a existing character design. So, these photo are not permitted.

 Comment I don't think that line from COM:COSTUME was meant to be taken as "if A, then B; therefore, if not A, then not B", but rather that photographs of potentially or otherwise non-free costumes have unclear status on Commons. See also: Commons:Deletion requests/File:Cosplay at NYCC (60421).jpg, Commons:Village pump/Copyright/Archive/2020/01#Sesame Street, and the last sentence of COM:COSTUME (Present consensus has adopted the view that in order to be a copyright violation, "[t]he photo would have to be primarily of the mask or other separable element of the costume, e.g. focusing on the expression inherent in the mask distinct from that of the general character."). -BRAINULATOR9 (TALK) 02:04, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment Needless to say, the mask is point. As you can see, these are photos wearing the mask. --Yuraily Lic (talk) 01:01, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 Keep Per @MGA73: above. --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 10:42, 11 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

 Keep - Most of the pictures were kept above last year. --Dannebrog Spy (talk) 10:39, 5 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
That's a judgement made by a non-admin. --Yuraily Lic (talk) 21:55, 5 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
 Delete in general. The design of Darth Vader most certainly is under copyright, and these are photographs of duplications/derivative works of that design.  Mysterymanblue  08:36, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Star Wars is certainly under copyright, but costumes, in general, are “useful articles” categorically ineligible for copyright protection. (Many of these images also contain depictions of other characters, so separate inquiries would be required to determine the copyright status of those images.) The Copyright Office stated, in “Registrability of Costume Designs,” that costumes are useful articles, and thus could only be registered (for copyright protection) if they met the standards for separability. There are two methods by which a copyrightable work may be separated from a useful article: physically and conceptually. To be physically separable, the work and the article must be able to be separated physically. An example is a sculptured base to a lamp: the lamp is a useful article, while the sculptured base is a creative work. To be conceptually separable, while not being physically separable, it must be possible to imagine the work separate from the article. An example is a design printed on a shirt, or etched on the back of a chair: the design itself is physically connected to the work, but can be imagined as a separate work. A rather preliminary overview of the costumes here nominated does not indicate to me that there is a creative work which can be either physically or conceptually separated from the “useful article” costume. Therefore, I would keep these works as to the current deletion reason. A search through Copyright Office records buttresses my conclusion: while there is a registration for a Darth Vader sculpture, there is no registration for the costume itself, as would be expected if the costume was eligible for copyright. The closure of the earlier discussion was made by a user who is currently an administrator, and could close this discussion as an administrator on the same grounds. TE(æ)A,ea.

Deleted: per nomination. In an answer to the remark of TE(æ)A,ea, I do not think these costumes are useful articles. Some other costumes perhaps are useful. These are for playing and showing only. --Ellywa (talk) 18:33, 29 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
