Delete as nominator per COM:PACKAGING // COM:DW. I am aware of previous discussion, but but in my opinion the artwork on this package is above TOO and I request another deleion discussion. Josve05a (talk) 18:33, 19 December 2014 (UTC)
- I agree that the 2012 'keep' merits further discussion. The statement that "There is no copyright in a package (except a thing of art)" is wrong since printed wording on a package can be copyright-protected as a 'literary work' in exactly the same way as the text of a book ('literary work' is a particular type of copyright that covers textual works, and does not imply any literary merit). Also, printed designs, images, photos etc appearing on packaging are copyright-protected as 'artistic works' (again, a particular type of copyright, which does not imply any artistic merit). It would be useful to have translations of the Japanese legal precedent (not all the links still work).--MichaelMaggs (talk) 13:30, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
