Nominated due to the same reason as Commons:Deletion requests/File:Alps - Regions (Eastern Alps).png: derived from a non-free map. The proposal is based on this comment, where a user who is a cartographer recognised File:Steiner Alpen.png as a copyvio. --Eleassar (t/p) 22:21, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Per the same rationale:

  • Keep. And I didn't agree with the previous set of deletions either, but didn't get the chance to comment. The deletion proposal is based on the comments of one editor (not the proposer I hasten to add, who I believe is acting in good faith) who takes a tentative, but very narrow view that the only way to produce a non-copyright map is to survey it oneself. On that basis, we would probably need to delete all Wikimedia maps. At the very least we should hold off until we identify what the copyright rules say unless a map is lifted directly from a source with no changes. --Bermicourt (talk) 18:42, 9 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Your reasoning is unfortunately based on a false premise. I was actually the one who (in good faith) originally took the stance that the only way to produce a non-copyright map was to survey it oneself. In the opinion linked above, the cartographer then corrected me and stated that these images are non-free not because they were not surveyed by the author himself, but because it is evident that they were simply redrawn from [1]: "a redrawn map of http://www.bergalbum.de/uebersichtskarte_ostalpen.htm. It copies even the style of the original map. A personal contribution cannot be find." --Eleassar (t/p) 22:34, 9 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Are we sure the Wiki maps were copied from www.bergalbum? Or did www.bergalbum copy them from Wiki? The Wiki author claims they are his. Do we need to establish that? --Bermicourt (talk) 19:51, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The original map existed already in 2003.[2] These images were uploaded in 2006. --Eleassar (t/p) 22:34, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
