Pursuant to Commons:Deletion requests/File:AK TreeOfLife.JPG, which served as a test case for the rest of these images, I believe these images must all be considered derivative of the Tree of Life sculpture. There is no FOP for works of art in the United States, and the Tree was constructed in the 90s so no copyright notice is needed. Powers (talk) 00:18, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

This is a building not a sculpture. In spite of its shape it is still a building complex with a movie theatre inside. Therefore there is Freedom of Panoram see here. Deror avi (talk) 07:48, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

• Keep. Most likely Commons:Freedom of Panorama#United States, as the Tree of Life is really a building completed in 1997, visible from a public place. I believe the U.S. legal understanding of "public place" includes private property normally accessible to the public, and that's the question that would determine this matter. Same for Commons:Deletion requests/File:AK TreeOfLife.JPG also. --Closeapple (talk) 15:45, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
•  Delete This is not a building in the normal sense of the word. -Nard the Bard 19:47, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
•  Keep @Closeapple, @Deror avi. The sculpture is incidental to the building/landmark nature of the tree. --bdesham ★ 00:43, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
• Note. The majority of this structure is simply that, a structure; the movie theater is housed in the base, as far as I'm aware. That's why I didn't really consider it a building. Still, if these images are kept, the other file that I used as a test case should probably be undeleted. Powers (talk) 15:55, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
•  Delete I would not dare to market a postcard of this structure. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 06:40, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
•  Delete It even looks like a sculpture. Images of it are obvious derivative works. How could anyone hope to go to court and argue anything else. --Simonxag (talk) 17:50, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
