File:Mongolian Goats with Genghis Khan Equestrian Statue.jpg[edit]

Likely fails COM:DM. The mere fact that this photo was taken from a great distance from the statue does not make it de minimis.
This file also likely fails de minimis because it fails several of the guidelines at COM:DM#Guidelines:

  • The file is in use to illustrate the statue on the Chinese, English, Korean and Spanish Wikipedias.
  • The file is categorised in relation to the statue.
  • The statue is referenced in the filename.
  • The statue is referenced in the description.
  • If the statue were to be removed from the file, it would make the derivative work radically different, but potentially still useful.
  • Other contextual clues indicate the statue is the reason for the creation of the file: The uploader has uploaded files of other country views such as File:Zheltura-1.JPG and File:Tymelik.jpg, so I think the uploader intended the countryside to be the main subject of the image. Nevertheless, as stated above, the mere trait of a photo of a copyrighted work taken from a great distance does not make it de minimis. JohnCWiesenthal (talk) 19:09, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • The file is in use to illustrate the statue on the Chinese, English, Korean and Spanish Wikipedias – not our problem at all
    The file is categorised in relation to the statue – and? This photo is categorized here. We may be inclusionist in regards to categorization.
    The statue is referenced in the filename – rename it.
    The statue is referenced in the description – maybe because it is in photo and the description is supposed to describe the photo? Anyway, change it if it disturbs you. An obvious abusive deletion request.  Speedy keep, as per COM:INUSE. RodRabelo7 (talk) 22:02, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Speedy keep this is 90% goats, 9% steppe and 1% tiny blurry statue. Clearly de minimis. Dronebogus (talk) 15:32, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Kept: clearly DM. The statue is so small in the image, there is nothing clearly discernable. --P 1 9 9  ✉ 02:48, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
