I leave the question of deletion up to the Wiki gods, as they see fit. May they keep the following in mind:
1. I have not done exhaustive legal research on this topic, and do not have that kind of time; but based on a quick scan of the caselaw, I see federal precedent standing for the proposition that a banner constructed for hire and serving as advertising does not necessarily constitute a work of art to which copyright protection adheres.
2. I believe it to be legitimately arguable that this banner is three-dimensional as opposed to two-dimensional. It incorporates tassels, fringe, raised lettering, rhinestone-like attachments, and other 3D elements. Moreover, I believe this particular banner is readable from the back as well as the front (or should I say, has two fronts) although I cannot prove this based on the photograph alone.
3. Finally, I have obtained today express consent from the designer and creator of the banner, Danielle Tolentino, to post the photograph in question. How I am supposed to prove that I have this express permission remains unknown to me. But I will amend the data attached to the file to attest to that permission.
I will comment no further unless asked to. Thanks, azaner 21:02, 25 January 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Azaner (talk • contribs)
If you have obtained consent from the creator of the banner, you need to ask them to send an email to our OTRS team using the instructions found at Commons:OTRS. An OTRS ticket will then be attached to the file showing that the creator of the banner has given permission for the image to be displayed here. -- Dianna (talk) 21:56, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
