Request to categorize
[edit]Hello. Kindly categorize FoP deletion requests started by Laurel Lodged. I already notifed them before, but they seemed to not categorize deletion requests still, such as this and this. They may had likely opened dozens of FoP-related deletion requests. Regards, JWilz12345 (Talk|Contributions) 23:30, 21 March 2025 (UTC)
- @JWilz12345:
Done, at least mostly if not totally. --A1Cafel (talk) 03:57, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
- Hello. It seems Laurel Lodged again made nominations, with no categorizations. Kindly categorize their DRs, like Commons:Deletion requests/File:New buildings in Sumgayit.JPG. Regards, JWilz12345 (Talk|Contributions) 02:09, 1 April 2025 (UTC)
- @JWilz12345: Done (again)--A1Cafel (talk) 14:43, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I have created a category warning template regarding non-FoP two-dimensional artistic works in Australia (Template:FOP-Australia-artistic works-category warning) and wanted to let you know as you have been involved in file deletion nominations relating to the issue this template addresses. Thank you, Redtree21 (talk) 13:49, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
Danish sculpture
[edit]Vonsidering that you have listed so many photographs for deletion and we both tend to repeat the same arguments, I would like to have a more general discussion. Again and again your point is that the sculpture is "quite prominent". I don't believe that is the relevant criteria under Danish law? Isn't the relevant criteria weather the sculpture is the principal subject matter of the photo or weather the photograph is a general depiction of scenery (buildings, landscaping etc). It is impossible to photograph many of the public spaces and buildings in the photographs that you seem to have a problem with without including the sculptures (often from a distance or in an akward angle) since the sculptures happen to be placed in the centre of the public space or in front of the building. That doesn't amke the sculpture the principal subject matter of the photograph.Ramblersen2 (talk) 17:08, 27 March 2025 (UTC)
