Improperly closed. The closer hasn't addressed the nomination rationale, and seemingly hasn't even looked at the photo. It does not depict a "US subject", it is a photo of a Hong Kong cinema. Therefore it is protected under Hong Kong copyright, unless the image was re-published in the US at some point. Can someone who actually knows what they are doing please check this one, and attach the appropriate licensing if it is eligible to be hosted on Commons.

Improperly closed. The closer hasn't addressed the nomination rationale, and seemingly hasn't even looked at the photo. Firstly, it looks like it was obtained from an internet forum, so stating the author is "unknown" is not the same as simply not knowing who the author is. Secondly, just because this version of the photo does not contain a copyright notice doesn't mean that a US version didn't. [http://copyright.cornell.edu/resources/publicdomain.cfm The public domain guidelines] state nothing about the subject of the photo being of US origin being a criteria. Can someone who actually knows what they are doing please check this one, and '''attach the appropriate licensing''' if it is eligible to be hosted on Commons.
