Comment Removed some, the others are likely to be kept as well because they do not focus on the Pyramid (although have to be tagged with warning templates first) --Denniss (talk) 13:05, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I'm unclear how any of the ones removed from this DR are any more nor less infringing than the ones still in the DR. File:Louvre Museum - entrance.jpg, for example, has lots of people in the foreground, is a wide shot, and the pyramid is not prominent at all. Of the ones still in the DR, only File:Couché de soleil sur le Louvre, Paris, France.jpg seems to especially focus on the pyramid. I'm not familiar enough with the intricacies of French copyright law to opine one way or the other on the ultimate disposition of these images, but as a general observation, only this one seems to be any more infringing than the ones you have excluded from the DR. --UserB (talk) 15:39, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Deleted: most are not DM. The pyramid is to prominent, captured intentionally or the images was even used to illustrate the pyramid. Doesn't fit DM. According to the Frech FOP-template "accessory compared to the main represented or handled subject". Natuur12 (talk) 16:36, 18 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted, after consulting Category:Louvre Pyramid-related deletion requests/kept I decided to delete all the photos. Object under construction can also be protected with copyright, if enough copyrightable details are seen. General views about museum can also be protected with copyright, if the museum is protected with copyright, that means, if enough copyrightable details are seen.

Comment I would like to append a deletion rationale for this file as "COM:SCOPE as well as No-FoP". The pyramid is centered and is one of the main focus points in this image. Without it, it would be deleted simply for having no educational value, now it is a combination f the both. Josve05a (talk) 08:11, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I maintain my Keep for this because it can be useful for illustrating tourism in Paris. Then, it would be only a matter of categorization. Jeriby (talk) 08:32, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Deleted: but kept one. From the perspeĉtive it becomes quite clear that the pyramid is there intentional and is indeed one of the main subjects. Natuur12 (talk) 14:08, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Blacked-out version kept, others deleted: none of these images complies with de minimis. For re-upload, please black out or crop. --Pitke (talk) 05:53, 21 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This building has been designed by Ieoh Ming Pei (b. 1917), an architect who is still alive. As there is no freedom of panorama in France, this picture should be removed from Commons.

Comment I deleted all files where the pyramid is the central element. For the rest, it could be argued that the pyramid is unavoidable (cf. the Terreaux case), or a secondary element. Regards, Yann (talk) 09:47, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The Louvre pyramid is a copyrighted artwork by I. M. Pei. France has no freedom of panorama. In these pictures, the pyramid is one of the main subjects of the images, so there is no exception like De minimis.
Nominator Ras67, the rationale for deletion you placed on ALL these images was "the pyramid is one of the main subjects of the images, so there is no exception like De minimis."
Frankly, I have found the closures of discussions that revolve around FOP and de minimis, in France, to be pretty inconsistent, and unpredictable. Some discussions where I thought the images were sure to be deleted ended up being kept because the closing administrator concluded the questionable element was merely "one of" the elements of those images.
I uploaded one of these images, one that shows the square in front of the Louvre, including the pyramid. The Pyramid takes up less than ten percent of that image's real estate, less than one third of the horizontal span of the image.
Did you intend everyone weighing in here to take a meaningful look at all two dozen images? Do you think it might have made sense for you to have further broken them down, separating the few where most of the image was of the pyramid, from those where the image was really of the square in front of the Louvre?
How about going back and adding your estimate of how much of each images' real estate is taken up the pyramid?
In my opinion, these two dozen images should not have been the subject of a single nomination, because they are not sufficiently alike. Geo Swan (talk) 21:55, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
You want a nomination for each picture alone? IMHO all pictures have the same problem. The question is, where is de minimis exceeded and where not. May the closing admin decide, therefor is this discusion. But you have right, this procedure is inconsistent and unpredictable like the whole subject.

One has to understand the decision of the Cour de cassation in the Terreaux case to decide what is OK and what is not, which is a bit complex. In short, it says that if a copyrighted work appears unavoidable in a general picture, then it is acceptable.
I am surprised we don't have an article about this. In 2005, the Cour de cassation said that general pictures of the Terreaux square in Lyon, including the work of art by Daniel Buren are not violation of the author's copyright. Regards, Yann (talk) 23:10, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
We have a guideline, but how tight is the commentary. The pyramid as central element of the place is in almost every image unavoidable. To "freeing" a picture you have to photograph the whole place? Where is the threshold? To my nomination i've included the pyramid's space and in relation the space of all other (non copyrighted) elements. I don't know if this proceeding is correct.--Ras67 (talk) 13:26, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
IANA, but I think our interpretation of French is too strict. As it is said on the FOP page, a picture is not a derivative work if the work of art is a mere element blended into an architectural ensemble. Regards, Yann (talk) 22:47, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I explain keeping file:Parisienne2002-1.jpg. Pyramid is simple geometrical figure and not copyrightable. Louvre Pyramid is not a simple geometrical figure and it is copyrightable. It's not allowed to use non-trivial details of copyrighted objects. But under some circumstances the photo has no copyrightable details, only simple geometrical figure, which isn't copyrightable. These photos can be in Commons. Taivo (talk) 12:26, 4 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thesupermat: Half of these are already nominated. There is no need to do it again. Then images are acceptable if the pyramid is an unavoidable element in the whole composition (decision of the Cour de Cassation regarding the Terreaux case). Regards, Yann (talk) 09:49, 20 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Yann: are you sure? "Paris Musée du Louvre - panoramio - Nikolai Karaneschev.jpg" is the only file I see already nominated (nothing on this page and nothing on the talk page of these file). I've put a gallery to show that in most of these photos the Pyramid is the main subject and not really an unavoidable element.
At least for the Paris Louvre Cour d'Honneur Pyramide 09 to 16 and for Paris, France (Unsplash QrpX-2tPmNY), I would say Delete.
Deleted most of them. Kept the four mentioned by Yann and one additional that has already been deemed fine in two previous DRs on this page. --Majora (talk) 00:35, 4 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete the first five. The last one could be OK since it's a wide shot and the Pyramid is unavoidable. Undelete in 2090 for any deleted files. Abzeronow (talk) 16:47, 22 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Roy17: And what is so special about a simple tetrahedron / pyramid? The general shape is ineligible for copyriht in my opinion. Close up images of the roof construction may be not. --D-Kuru (talk) 21:16, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The building was completed by architect I. M. Pei (1917–2019) in 1989. Unfortunately, there is no freedom of panorama in France. The copyright term lasted for 70 years, and the images can be undeleted in 2090.
