20th century poem; texts are not included in COM:FOP#United Kingdom. Pieter Kuiper (talk) 21:14, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
- Isn't that a work of artistic craftsmanship? ViperSnake151 (talk) 23:19, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
- The headstone, but not the poem. It does not make any difference, I think, whether a poem is written on a piece of paper or on a slab of stone. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 23:23, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
- Do not stand at my grave and weep is a poem, written by Mary Elizabeth Frye. Although of disputed origin until later in her life, Mary Frye's authorship was confirmed in 1998 after research by Abigail Van Buren, a newspaper columnist, [1] Galoubet (talk) 12:55, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
- She never published or copyrighted the poem, what does that mean for its status? /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 13:05, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
- Almost nothing, under British law. A later publisher might gain a 20 year publication right, but I think it should count as published, given how many copies have been distributed. It is clear she expected the work to be widely distributed and does not object to its distribution, but for Commons this is not free enough. What if someone were to make an offensive hardcore rap version? Or use it in a video advocating against abortion? When you pose questions like that you see just how free Commons requires works to be, and without affirmation in writing the person does not reserve rights in all cases then we must delete. -Nard the Bard 00:13, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Deleted as derived work of a non-PD text that does not fall under FOP as a literary work. --AFBorchert (talk) 23:10, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
