 * Derivative work of a painting. There is no freedom of panorama in the United States for artworks and sculptures, and without any indication of when this was painted and by who, it is not possible to determine if it has entered the public domain based on its age. — ξ xplicit  01:27, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - according to Life Magazine, October 6, 1972, the chicken painting was "one of the first paintings to adorn Detroit's public sheds". From what I can find, that means it was probably painted c. 1970. That source, plus this one, both attribute the shed paintings, including the chicken, to Alex Pollock. If there's no copyright notice -- and I don't think there is -- it's public domain. Thanks, cmadler (talk) 17:23, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Is there a specific reason to believe there's no copyright notice, or is that just a hunch? Chick Bowen 05:36, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
 * It's just a hunch -- murals such as this, painted by amateur artists, often lacked notice -- but it would be very easy for a Wikipedian in the Detroit area to check. cmadler (talk) 13:53, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Hello. I am the one who took this photo and uploaded it.  If it represents any kind of copyright violation, I apologize.  Funnyhat (talk) 05:42, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Explanation: The rule is that you can't take photos of murals in the United States unless the mural is in the public domain as the photo violates the copyright of the mural artist. However, murals painted before 1978 are in the public domain unless there is a visible copyright notice somewhere at the mural, and this was apparently painted before 1978 according to the comments above. Would you be able to check if there is a copyright notice anywhere on the mural? --Stefan2 (talk) 10:38, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I've also asked at WikiProject Michigan/Detroit. cmadler (talk) 13:54, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
 * From what I understand, the mural doesn't exist anymore. — ξ xplicit  01:52, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
 * OK, I checked around a little more. Based on this photo, I discern that it was on the south side of Shed #2, which does appear to have been subsequently restored and the mural removed (see here and here). However, the first photo I linked gives us a good view of the entire face, and no copyright notice can be seen. I think this can be considered free. cmadler (talk) 13:51, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Looks strikingly like the image in Paul M Dewick's "Medicinal Natural Products: A Biosynthetic Approach, 2nd ed." on page 328. Perhaps from a different edition of this work? 99.108.167.12 (talk) 03:17, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

 * No number plate on car, no EXIF -- looks suspiciously like a promo shot. Uploader has a history of copyvios, see User talk:Barnstarbob and Contributor copyright investigations/Barnstarbob. MER-C 11:49, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Unclear if uploader merely scanned the image vs actually took the photograph himself (EXIF doesn't match uploader?). But license terms are invalid anyway: uploader editsummary says PD, tag says CC/SA, Description has substantial non-free restrictions. DMacks (talk) 22:50, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
