Don't fall under PD-CzechGov Patrick Rogel (talk) 14:45, 14 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Any reason? "a) an official work, such as a legal regulation, decision, public charter, publicly accessible register and the collection of its records, and also an official draft of an official work and other preparatory official documentation including the official translation of such work, Chamber of Deputies and Senate publications, a memorial chronicle of a municipality (municipal chronicle), a state symbol and symbol of a regional self-governing unit, and other such works where there is public interest in their exclusion from copyright protection" --Xth-Floor (talk) 14:55, 14 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Xth-Floor: I don't see illustrations and photographies listed within works falling under PD-CzechGov. --Patrick Rogel (talk) 16:22, 14 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
You can notice, that even "texts" are not listed. That's because it uses superior concept: "work", which covers any type of content. Anyway, illustrations and photographies are part of the explicitly mentioned "public charter". I see no reason to delete this file. --Xth-Floor (talk) 22:36, 14 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Xth-Floor: I've never talked above about "texts" (Anyway Commons doesn't host texts so it's irrelevant); I've talked, as the law, about "works". Nevertheless you can notice that regulation, decision, publicly accessible register, documentation including the official translation of such work, publications, a memorial chronicle are texts. That they called them "works" is their liberty but once again illustrations and photographies are not listed within these works. --Patrick Rogel (talk) 22:44, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
There are hundreds of illustrations and tens of photographies accepted under PD-CzechGov at Wikimedia Commons. Btw. memorial chronicles aren't pure texts, there are often completed by illustrations and photographs. The same applies for public charters. The definition doesn't say, that some type of „works“ (like photographs, texts, illustrations) are accepted and some aren't. I see no reason to create an artificial additional limitation, which isn't based on the definition of „official work“. --Xth-Floor (talk) 15:30, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Once again refering to Category:PD Czech official is irrelevant since most of items there are graphics too simple to be copyrightable or others free of copyright under Czech law (like coats of arms or money). Since I see you can't be convinced let's an Administrator decide on this matter. --Patrick Rogel (talk) 16:03, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
One can suppose that an official flyer created to fulfil the duty of the ministry to inform all the citizens and to be distributed into their homes (that all paid by public money) can be considered as "other such work where there is public interest in its exclusion from copyright protection". The icons are just other representation of what is written there, so if the text can be considered to be PD and the icons are created especially for this occassion, their must be PD too. They simply fulfil the same task as the text does, and even bigger for people with limited capability to read (such as the elderly, deaf, people with reading disorder, asf.). If the icons were not created for this official purpose, but they, for example, come from some repository of such icons, go ahead with the proof and we can exclude them from the file. I don't know if the official portraits of public institutions of the Czech Republic were already discussed somewhere and with which result, but if they didn't fall under PD, it is neither a reason to delete the whole file, we can exclude them from the file. --Venca24 (talk) 10:45, 21 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I don't consider the flyer to be a “public charter”, neither according to the (more appropriate) Czech term “opatření obecné povahy”. Both terms indicate some document that authoritatively states rights and/or obligations of its subjects. That's not the case here. Anyway, the last part of the definition of an official work (“úřední dílo”) encompasses all “works where there is public interest in their exclusion from copyright protection”, which suits very well.
Also, there's absolutely no reason to exclude non-literal works from this definition.--Shlomo (talk) 06:37, 17 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Why not? --GALAXY 2018 A7 (talk) 15:01, 14 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Kept: per discussion. --Gbawden (talk) 10:42, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
