Hans Meyer Memorial

Original - A memorial honouring Hans Meyer, the first European to conquer Mount Kilimanjaro. The message states,"IN MEMORY OF HANS MEYER THE FIRST WHITEMAN TO CLIMB MT KILIMANJARO ON 6TH OCTOBER 1889." The message appears first in Meyer's native language German, followed by Tanzania's official language Swahili, followed by English. Pictured in the Kilimanjaro National Park

Reason: Good quality, very good EV. The first and only image on wiki which depicts the memorial, or Han's face.
Articles this image appears in: Mount Kilimanjaro, Hans Meyer (geologist)

Oppose. Useful for the article but not the sort of image that screams "FP" to me. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 12:26, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Diliff. Lacking another dimension or context; kind of analogous with a press cutting. Quality might be good enough for VP though. --mikaul^talk 12:48, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Question: Is the underlying material copyrighted? If so, then should come with a nonfree media rationale and doesn't qualify for candidacy here. Durova^{273 featured contributions} 14:17, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't know but it's government property at a UNESCO world heritage sight. --Muhammad(talk) 14:38, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - Most governments retain rights over publications. Am not sure about the status in this instance. Durova²⁷³ 16:57, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    - Probably need to have freedom of panorama in Tanzania, not sure what the law is there. Calliopejen1 (talk) 23:40, 2 July 2009 (UTC)\[reply]

Doesn't look good - see [1] 12.6. MER-C 02:39, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per above. Might need to nominate this for deletion. MER-C 10:42, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
