== Deleting Signature Gabriel Silva Lujan ==

Hi Jim,

Hi Jim,

I saw that you have decided to keep the signature of Gabriel Silva Lujan citing the 'when to use Signature Tab rules'. These state that the file can be kept if it follows US and local law and mentions that the US does not protect personal signatures but that if local law does protect them then it would be a candidate for deletion. In Colombian law personal signatures can be protected by law, and that is why I solicited that it be deleted. Can you advise me as to next steps to nominate the signature once again for deletion given the Colombian law?

:I do not read Spanish, but my closing the DR as '''kept''' was based on the fact that there is nothing in the sentence you quoted from the law that would cover signatures. All countries copyright rules have a [[COM:TOO|threshold of originality]], below which a work is not eligible for copyright. Ordinary scrawled signatures such as this one very rarely reach above it anywhere. Such a scrawl is neither "expression manifested in a perceptible way" nor "original", both of which are required for Colombian copyright to apply.

:It is possible that there is a subtlety in the Spanish that neither the translation you gave nor Google has correct. If that is the case, I would be happy to consider it here.

+

+
:You are also within your rights to open a new Deletion Request on the subject image, but Commons editors are not particularly tolerant when a DR is opened a second time without any new reason or information. The previous one was open for ten days, three days beyond our minimum, so it had good exposure. I doubt that a repeat will change the outcome.
