Migate to en:wikipedia with "non free 3D art" it has a name infinity siris here: [1]. miss vain how about a rescue. Slowking4 (talk) 15:58, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

I don't understand the comment. The DR was closed as kept because there did not appear to have been a copyright notice. The SIRIS entry cited above confirms that, so nothing else need be done.      Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 17:05, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

i'm anticipating the comment that unveiling is not publishing, and that a photo was first printed in a copyrighted book. given the deletion bias, i can have no confidence that this image will stay. belts and suspenders. 198.24.31.118 17:40, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

I think you are overly cautious -- we have many images of pre-1976-law American sculptures with no notice on Commons. Several editors have made the no-publication argument, but it has failed, as its only possible outcome is to conclude that if a sculpture is never published, it has a perpetual copyright and that is ridiculous and violates Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution.     Jim . . . .
