I removed File:Martin Wickstrom Cow Parade.JPG, since it's photographed on permanent display. (see Talk). ghouston (talk) 09:38, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The photo File:Cow painting.jpg that has been nominated for deletion is of a painting that is sold on the streets by the thousands every year to participants of the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaijatra festival. The participants wear the paper painting on their heads to impersonate a cow as can be seen in this photograph File:Gaijatra 01.jpg. The painting is a centuries-old traditional design and there is no original authorship. The outline is printed by machine and the colors are filled in by hand. This is not a unique painting and is not copyrighted nor can it be copyrighted. I request that the proposal for deletion of the image be cancelled.

Deleted: If the colors in Cow Painting are filled in by hand, then each one will have its own copyright. . Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 22:34, 23 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
