Few if any sources. The article mentions the article artistic license to which perhaps it can be merged. Bus stop (talk) 15:08, 25 July 2018 (UTC) Bus stop (talk) 15:08, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, even though its pretty useless. The subject is certainly notable, & I don't think a merge with the pretty different artistic license a good idea. Let's hope it will be expanded. Johnbod (talk) 15:30, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. I certainly think this is worthy of an encyclopedic entry in of itself. However the page does require much expansion. I think there is likely a decent amount of information which could be written on the subject and found via a variety of sources and source types to use for citations.

• Keep. This is absolutely a noteworthy topic where plenty of sources exist. Oppose merging to Artistic license, that's a different issue. We don't seem to have anything else on freedom of artistic expression, so that's what this article can cover. Vexations (talk) 16:28, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Following up on that reasoning, I created a redirect from Freedom of artistic expression. I hope this is acceptable to all. Bus stop (talk) 17:48, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Five sources added.96.127.242.226 (talk) 00:39, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, the line "Software patents are often seen as an example of one of these restrictions. " seems out of place. Perhaps someone can make that fit the article?96.127.242.226 (talk) 00:41, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Article now has many citations of significant coverage in reliable sources, and there is still plenty of room for this article to expand further. Also, oppose merge with artistic license, as it is an entirely distinct topic, more closely related to freedom of expression if anything. — Alpha3031 (talk | contribs) 03:59, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
