Per COM:TOYS A1Cafel (talk) 06:45, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@A1Cafel Japan considers toys to be ineligible for copyright as per the page there. Does this mean it should not be deleted? Immanuelle ❤️💚💙 (please tag me) 07:43, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
However, US do not consider toys to be utilitarian objects. On Commons, the toy should be copyright-free in both the source country (Japan) and the US. --A1Cafel (talk) 08:16, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@A1Cafel does the fact that this is a religious object play any role? I cannot speak 100% to this without finding a source that discusses them, but I think these are believed to be a kind of amulet with protective properties. Immanuelle ❤️💚💙 (please tag me) 12:36, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This is a widespread phenomenon at shrines and it is unfortunate to see it not being documented Immanuelle ❤️💚💙 (please tag me) 12:53, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah that's unfortunate, but on Commons we had to respect copyright. --A1Cafel (talk) 13:58, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@A1Cafel you probably should propose this entire category for deletion then Category:Doubutsu mikuji but is there any way to consolidate the deletion discussion under one page? Immanuelle ❤️💚💙 (please tag me) 14:29, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We should discuss this other deletion request here Commons:Deletion_requests/File:Shikaumi_Shrine-Okimono_omikuji.jpg Immanuelle ❤️💚💙 (please tag me) 13:15, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
