COM:DW: No permission for shown artworks and/or pictures on computer screens. No COM:DM

I disagree that there is no de minimis. Many of the photos here are of machines; the fact that there is some game shown on the screen is coincidental. Ex. but not limited to File:Musée Mécanique 196.JPG or File:San Francisco Rush 2049-Ms Pacman-Ambush Gun-Dragonball.jpg. Since the nomination is so bad, it does not discuss each image, and includes many that seem DM (the first two I randomly check, linked above),

Delete It's not just the games but also the artwork on the machines themselves. You can't tell us Pac-Man, Donkey Kong and Galaga are all out of copyright. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:49, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Piotrus: : It is not only the computer screens shown on some pictures: It is the shown artwork on the cover of the machines itself. With all the colorful artwork which is undoubtful in the main focus of these pictures -> no COM:DM. Another rationale is to handle this pictures per COM:PACKAGE, considering the artwork on the cover of the machines is "the package". It comes imho to the same result.--Wdwd (talk) 13:21, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If those were one of a kind works of art, I could see your point, but they are mass produced models. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 07:51, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

An artful drawing on a mass produced article or product is mass produced too, and it is in normal case copyrighted. The fact that these gaming machines were mass produced models doesn't matter. These artworks are complex enough to be copyrighted and the copyright status is currently not expired. The question is: Does COM:DM apply or not? In my opinion no.--Wdwd (talk) 08:15, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I think these two files are COM:DM:

Only a little part of the design is visible and some are below COM:TOO. As for the rest Delete or perhaps an alternative could be to blurr or crop. --MGA73 (talk) 20:49, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as stated by MGA73, the two files being COM:DM. Sometimes it seems to me that we are applying very different measures to logos. In "Video game - Ms Pacman and Galaga.jpg" there's a very shadowed logo/text logo of Pacman at the side of the machine and a small text logo with reflections of Galaga in the glass part above the screen, but at the left there is a big coca cola logo, which in all files is considered as PD-text-log, though I'd say it is a text logo but a very remarkable one.
