Deleted as out of scope, with no discussion, based on a mass deletion request. This happened even though a specific discussion gave specific reasons that the file is in scope and was closed as "keep". There are no images currently available on Commons that claim to depict pregnancy stretch marks. Brianjd (talk) 15:23, 25 October 2021 (UTC)

 Oppose Category:Stretch marks has plenty of photos, including a photo of Travis Walls. Thuresson (talk) 16:13, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
Obviously my initial search was not very good. There are four images in that category, which I categorised. Not having seen the nominated image, I cannot compare them. Brianjd (talk) 11:24, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
The photo shows a woman sunbathing topless (her face is not visible). There is nothing in the image description that says her stretch marks comes from a pregnancy. Thuresson (talk) 21:14, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

File was in use on many languages of Wikipedia (log). The file needs to be re-uploaded to those that will accept it. Senator2029 09:56, 29 October 2021 (UTC)

@Senator2029: Which wiki do you want to upload the image to? Ankry (talk) 13:15, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
Primarily enwiki, but the file was used on many (as shown in the delinker log) so will try to do some of those also. Senator2029 14:45, 29 October 2021 (UTC)

Files uploaded by Gruene-bt-fraktion

In January 2020, a mass deletion request concerning uploads by Gruene-bt-fraktion was rejected for the following reasons, quoting from Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Gruene-bt-fraktion:

Seemingly ignoring this decision, the above three files were deleted anyway a week later. Perhaps the deleting admin was not aware of the situation. I am requesting an undeletion of the listed three files for the quoted reasons above. Thank you. --Fippe 18:50, 29 October 2021 (UTC)

Pinging @Arthur Crbz and Minorax: for comments. Noting, that the files were not marked as kept in the DR by closing admin. Was this the deletion reason? Ankry (talk) 21:22, 29 October 2021 (UTC)

The category was emptied after a short discussion in Commons:Deletion requests/File:Prato-01,02,2012-Monumento di Henry Moore con neve.jpg, by Infrogmation of New Orleans. Nor the authors were notified, nor the files were listed for a discussion with the possibility of adding the tag "Undelete in 2057". Most of all, Wikimedia Italia had received a specific OTRS authorization for uploading images of this monument during the last 3 editions of Wiki Loves Monuments. Therefore most of those images had to be kept.

Affected files are:

Files should be restored first, than divided between the WLM uploads and the non-WLM uploads: the seconds can be then deleted.

The following files were also cancelled without listing or informing the authors. As far as I know, they are not authorized, so in a regular cancellation procedure they will be probably deleted. They should be restored, listed in a deletion discussion, and then listed for 2057 undeletion.

More information about Wiki Loves Monuments in Italy authorizations can be asked to users Alexmar983, Sannita and Marta Arosio (WMIT)

Please restore the following pages:

Reason: This file is requested to be undeleted by the user Raderich on JuTa's talkpage by the rationale This is a copy of a photo of the 1870s (!). It's not a derivative work and it has no copyright. The source should be specified, but that's no reason to delete it. I'll look for source but could you please restore it?

I think this is the correct forum for discussing this. Contributers2020Talk to me here 10:39, 2 November 2021 (UTC)

You should have provided a source, which you didn't. Instead you claimed it as own work and gave your username as the author/photographer. Also, the self-CC license is wrong, as it's not your work. So, there is some work for you to do. --Túrelio (talk) 10:46, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
Túrelio, I didn't upload it to begin with. It was a newcomer who did it. I just liked this uncopyrighted photo and I would like it back. Please restore it and I'll make the license right.--Raderich (talk) 16:04, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
Ok, as my colleague JuTa wasn't online since 9 days, I'll do it conditionally. I thought to answer/address the uploader, as they are usually requesting, but as I see now, none of you was the uploader. --Túrelio (talk) 16:11, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
@Contributers2020, Raderich, and Elena Magariños: Please note, that the photo may be redeleted soon if noone provides correct authorship/date/source/copyright info. We cannot host photos with false copyright claims. Ankry (talk) 16:20, 2 November 2021 (UTC)

This photo was used with the permission of the photographer. He also sent an e-mail to the permission-hu@wikimedia.org e-mail address on 25th of October with the requested letter (please find it below), that it's his photo and that he agrees that Wikimedia uses it. So please undelete this photo. The page was made on the 90th anniversary of Mihály Gera's (Hungarian photo historian) birthday with the permission of his widower.

✓ Done Ticket:2021102510007816. @Ankry: That's not correct. Anything with a ticket gets a 30-day grace period, and we shouldn't punish the uploader for getting an extremely convoluted upload form wrong. It is extremely non-obvious that they should use a {{subst:OP}} tag when uploading to prevent the image from being tagged for deletion. I have loudly complained about this problem, but since much of the Upload Wizard interface lives on TranslateWiki it's not so simple for a Commoner to fix. King of ♥ 16:16, 2 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi! This is regarding the MAP for availability of ApplePay. The current map is not interact-able as the map that used to be used before. The previous map can be interacted by hovering over the map and check the countries name. I have given the link to the original Map link below. Do check it out and compare with the current version. Hope this is taken into consideration and the map is reverted back to the original map. Thank you!

I ask for the cancellation of the deletion of the file in question as the photo is entirely my work and consequently I do not understand why the photo has been deleted for copyright infringement if the author is me ..

  • Signing your posts is required on talk pages and it is a Commons policy to sign your posts on deletion requests, undeletion requests, and noticeboards. To do so, simply add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your comments. Your user name or IP address (if you are not logged in) and a timestamp will then automatically be added when you save your comment. Signing your comments helps people to find out who said something and provides them with a link to your user/talk page (for further discussion). Thank you.
  • @Lancia Dude: The image has been deleted as no license was declared at upload nor any other licensing info was provided. Per policy, we cannot host images without a free license. ~In order to undelete the photo, Andrea Ciolli, who was declared as the author, needs to provide a free license following COM:VRT procedure.

@Rédacteur Tibet: But when it was published?

This is Alan image of American singer Keyshia Cole performing in 2013. A deletion request has been made for the image because it seems to be a copyright violation. I do not think that it is because if you go to the Flickr link you can check the rights that were added to the photo and it is under CC BY 2.0 license. I made sure I followed the rules listed under the license which means that I could share it but also make sure I give rightful credit to the owners in which I did hence why the author and copyright holder of the photo are listed in the information box and the metadata box.

Deleted in Commons:Deletion requests/File:Kophilp.jpg. The only contributors to the discussion were the uploader and a sockpuppet of the uploader.

The DR, considered in isolation, seems valid.

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,

hiermit beantrage ich die Wiederherstellung des Bildes Lea Birringer.jpg und Violinist Lea Birringer crop.jpg. Die Lizenzfreigabe wurde an permission-de@wikimedia.org übersendet (Vorgangs-Nummer: 4328-ee8563711c062753 und 4329-cd0400c986a6a9cf).

The file was deleted because of missing permission information. I had not been able to find the code needed for this image (Swiss postcard published c. 1946/47). After searching some more, I found the Creative Commons License Deed CC0 1.0. There is no copyright note for the publisher on the back of the card, so I assume this permission will allow the file to be published now. --Freely44 (talk) 16:37, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

@JuTa: notifying the deleting admin. Ankry (talk) 19:25, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
@Freely44: To be valid, the CC0 license must be granted by the postcard copyright holder who is either the photographer or the publisher. If there is no authorship mentioned on the postcard, it can likely be cosidered {{PD-anon-70}} in Switzerland. However, we probably have US copyright problem. Per URAA, if the postcard was not PD in the country of origin (assuming Switzerland) on 1.1.1996, it is copyrighted in US 95 years since publication (assuming till 1.1.2042). Ankry (talk) 19:25, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
 Support Qualifies for {{PD-Switzerland-photo-non-individual-50-years}} and just meets the URAA cutoff date to be {{PD-1996}}. De728631 (talk) 20:12, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
 Comment If published in 1946, then it is off one year to qualify: for a 1946 anonymous publication 50-year copyright expired on 1.1.1997. Ankry (talk) 14:14, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
 Oppose Agreed. At least one year off. The URAA date is 1.1.1996. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward)

(talk to me) 15:23, 7 November 2021 (UTC) The publisher died 1961, photographer unknown. So what should I write?--Freely44 (talk) 15:37, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

Well, that may make it even more complicated. Under Swiss law, copyright may actually be transferred from the original author to others. So if there was a publisher they might have purchased the copyright for themselves or for their company. The former option would mean that the photo is still copyrighted since copyright notes are not required in Switzerland. De728631 (talk) 13:24, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

I really do not know what to do. Maybe I should give up on this file and use another postcard, maybe from the 1930's, for the end of my article on the Gabler publishers [2].--Freely44 (talk) 15:52, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

Freely44, Probably the page de:Wikipedia:Bildrechte in the German Wikipedia clarifies the issue a bit more to you. Under German/Swiss/Austrian law the Urheberrecht (which is not exactly the same as "copyright" in the Anglo-American law system) is not transferrable, transferrable are only the rights of use. Not knowing the copyright holder does not imply there is none. If you see a bike in the road, not knowing the owner does not mean the bike is ownerless and you can just take it. --Reinhard Kraasch (talk) 11:22, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for your advice. I have come to the conclusion that the file is not in the public domain and the deletion is justified. --Freely44 (talk) 16:59, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

The statue belongs to my high school and it was uploaded by school project. It's been so long since I graduated and I should prove that it is by school work? -- CYAN (talk)

See Commons:Deletion requests/File:Maria Kim.jpg for background. There is nothing to prove, IMO. The statue is a recent creative work of art (Commons:Copyright_rules_by_subject_matter#Art_(copies_of)). Its copyright belongs to the sculptor. This includes any depicting of the statue. As there is no usable freedom-of-panorama exception in South Korea, a permission by the sculptor is required. --Túrelio (talk) 11:38, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
(Edit conflict) @CYAN: per COM:FOP SK we need either a cc-by-sa-4.0 license permission from the sculptor or from another sculpture copyright holder if the copyright has been transferred in a contract, or an evidence that the sculptor died before 1946 (for copyright expiration and no problems with URAA).

This photo was removed for ALLEGED copyright violation saying it was found elsewhere on the web. Please show where it appears elsewhere on the web. It does appear on IMDB uploaded by the subject Bai Ling. When a photo is taken at the request of the subject, it is a work for hire and thus copyright is in the subject. So where does it appear on the internet other than used by the subject on IMDB? If an editor claims it appears elsewhere on the web, that link must be provided. Is the editor who delted it a copyright attorney or otherwise qualified to determine copyright violations? --Colbfi (talk) 09:37, 10 November 2021 (UTC)

@Colbfi: It is up to the uploader to prove that the image is under a free license. There are indeed many copies on the Internet prior to its uploads here, so deletion is justified. Yann (talk) 10:43, 10 November 2021 (UTC)

  •  Oppose - Utter nonsense request: 1) the image is here; here; here; here; here; and many other places--all before upload here; 2) the image is a selfie, so that "it is a work for hire" is patently false; even if the subject were not the photographer, a "work made for hire" is a defined term of art that does not simply mean, as you apparently conflate, "a work someone was hired to produce"; it has specific categories (to which this image does not belong) and in all cases still requires a written document, evidence of which you've not provided (verily, you merely lied and claimed yourself to be the author); and 3) per COM:EVID, it is incumbent on you to provide evidence of claims, not for us to disprove them.

please don t delete this foto. it is a picture for my wikipedia Schauspielerin/ Actress Claudia Plöckl — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sandrella 23 (talk • contribs) 12:35, 10 November 2021 (UTC)

 Oppose The file above never existed on Commons. You appear to use at least three different user names. As a general rule that is a bad idea and often is a violation of Commons rules. I found the user name Sannah2323 with the deleted file File:Claudia Ploeckl at the Max Ophüls Award Ceremony, Berlinale 2020.jpg. I assume that is the file you want restored. That file was deleted because you did not provide a license. However, it is small, has no EXIF, and appears at IMDB, so it seems unlikely that you actually are the photographer as you claimed.

If you are the actual photographer, please upload the file again using the same file name at full camera resolution with full EXIF and provide a license. If you are not the actual photographer, then in order for the file to be restored, the actual photographer must provide a free license using VRT..     Jim . . .

The image was deleted by the closing adming as having a "false license", but that was not the issue. The accusation was that the image was being used for vandalism. As I pointed out, the image was identical to a version on the English Wikipedia which is in use on its related article (which contradicts the vandalism claim), and is below the threshold of originality in the United States. Therefore it should have been kept. The related images ([3], [4], [5], [6]) were closed under similar claims but were not properly discussed. Fry1989 eh? 13:57, 10 November 2021 (UTC)

大 诺 史 (now Minorax) nominated this file for deletion as part of a mass request. Then Alexis Jazz used this file (along with two others) as an example to condemn the mass request:

File:Chelsea2008.jpg: it's w:Chelsea Manning with a license review. ... Honestly, this makes no sense whatsoever.

So it was a real shock to see Fitindia delete this file as F10.

It seems like someone was far out of line here. Does VFC warn deleting admins if files have previously been kept at DRs? Brianjd (talk) 05:44, 14 November 2021 (UTC) edited 10:58, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

@Brianjd: This file was nominated by me when I was relatively new to commons and trying to find my way around this wiki. While this isn't an excuse, I've apologised for my actions, and I don't think saying "is this a test, incredible incompetence, just plain vandalism or are you drunk?" is necessary in this case. As seen from the logs, it was @A1Cafel: who nominated the file (F10) for deletion. --Minorax«¦talk¦» 10:47, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

The image was under DR with two keeps and no deletes, but was deleted outside of the DR process with no closing rationale. Fry1989 eh? 14:04, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

 Oppose It was speedy deleted by Ruthven for lack of permission from the copyright holder. The Polish ToO is "rather low" so it probably has a copyright. Also, it is not the current logo, see Polsat. As for the two keeps in the DR, one was by Fry with no reason given and the other stated that it is below the ToO which, as noted above, is debatable. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 16:53, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

Lack of permission is irrelevant if the image is below the threshold of originality. If an image is under DR and that is currently being debated, speedily deleting the image is utterly inappropriate. As far as I'm concerned, TOO is a reason in and of itself, and I shouldn't need to elaborate. Of course that's debatable, that's the point of a DR. Also, what does it matter whether this is the current logo of Polsat or not? We host lots of historical logos. Your comments add very little of value other than to criticise how I chose to participate in DRs and to attempt to validate the bypassing of the DR process. Fry1989 eh? 17:01, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
But Commons:Copyright_rules_by_territory/Poland#Threshold_of_originality states that TOO is low, and so this logo is rather above TOO. If you have further arguments concerning Polish TOO, please elaborate. Even if the deletion was out-of-process, the undeletion would require us to verify image compliance with Commons policies.

Hello, good morning, I saved a poster of an illegal movie on Wikimedia, but it has been removed due to copyright infringement. Publishing this poster is free for everyone because the publisher of this series has the right to use the poster below this poster. Please see the link below and read the text at the bottom of the page. This is a legal and governmental platform for broadcasting Iranian serials and movies, and it has released the right to use and publish this postner.

http://sarshenasan.com/%d9%81%db%8c%d9%84%d9%85-%d9%88-%d8%b3%d8%b1%db%8c%d8%a7%d9%84-%d9%87%d8%a7%db%8c-%d8%a7%db%8c%d8%b1%d8%a7%d9%86%db%8c/%d8%a8%db%8c-%d9%82%d8%a7%d9%86%d9%88%d9%86-ali-tajdary-bi-ghanoon/

--Iranianbio (talk) 09:57, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

@Iranianbio: It seems to me that at least two required permissions lack there: (1) the permission to create derivative works of the poster and (2) the permission for commercial reuse. I can't see how one is allowed to sell T-shirts with the poster image basing on the permission you pointed out. This permission is far from the declared cc-by-sa-4.0 license. Moreover, claiming authorship while not being the poster original author is blatant copyright violation. Ankry (talk) 16:22, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
 Oppose I could argue that "The right to copy and publish this poster and information related to the film is open to the public" is a satisfactory license. "Publish", in copyright law, is a very broad term and would include making tee shirts. However the question is moot, because the declaration is not explicitly irrevocable, which we require. From Commons policy on licensing:
"the license must meet the following conditions:
  • The license must be perpetual (non-expiring) and non-revocable."
.     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 17:24, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
The policy doesn't say that revocability must be explicitly mentioned, just that the license can't be revocable. Apparently in the U.S., a license is only revocable if there was no consideration involved. A court case apparently decided there is consideration involved with open source licenses, so the default is often irrevocable.[8] And indeed, there are some very well-known free licenses that we accept which makes no mention of revocability. On this one though, it's a bit cloudier, but I'd be inclined to accept it on the revocability condition. And the commercial use as well, as if that is not restricted by the terms, it's generally allowed. However, I would tend to read "copy and publish" as more the right to make copies, and not necessarily derivative works, so I'm leaning no on that aspect of the licensing requirements. It feels closer to a press photo type of declaration (see Commons:Copyright rules by subject matter#Press_photos), which we typically don't allow. It's not limited to journalists obviously, but otherwise it feels more in that vein. Carl Lindberg (talk) 17:58, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

The file was deleted in this DR with the rationale "Recent artworks without permission", but this photo isn't of an artwork, is a human karyotype. From what I can see on the Internet Archive [9], the mother of the baby consented publishing it under a GDFL license. Also, the file was in use in the Spanish Wikipedia. -sasha- (talk) 13:42, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

I think the only question here is whether a Karyotype has a copyright. From the variety shown at Category:Human karyotypes I would guess that it does -- the person creating it clearly has choices. If it does, then this is a copyvio -- the mother released it as a GFDL, but the mother isn't the copyright holder. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 14:31, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

On a closer look, this deletion looks unjustified: https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/ShareAlike_compatibility:_FAL --Reseletti (talk) 17:03, 19 November 2021 (UTC)

I did some digging. It seems better to reupload a slightly modified version instead of restoring the old one: FAL looks compatible. But I found one file in there that’s GFDL-only, which on the other hand actually seems to be incompatible. So it seems like the better idea to upload a new version instead of restoring one with a (separate, known) copyright problem.

User:JuTa erased maliciously a photo from me. (Haroldomil (talk) 22:54, 20 November 2021 (UTC))

 Oppose OP has not presented any evidence that the image was deleted out of malice. Thuresson (talk) 23:49, 20 November 2021 (UTC)
 Oppose Aside from the silly accusation of malice, there are one or two problems with the image. The first is that the image includes both a photograph and an art work. There is no evidence of a free license for the art work. Also, although the uploader claims to be the photographer, he is also apparently the subject and this does not look like a selfie. If it is not a selfie, then Haroldmil's claim of "own work" is incorrect. The image cannot be restored without correction or clarification of both of these issues. .     Jim . . .

Please restore the following pages:

Reason: Deleted due to purported no permission. However, the later uploads by FSUUpedia Restore Division (talk · contribs) (all containing "original work" in the file names) are decent to be trusted as own works (in my opinion). All of the last uploads have metadata and single camera model. Plus the user themself responded to old claims at their talk page (their response was mirrored at ANU thread). Their user page explicitly indicated what tool did they used. So for me there is no doubts over User:FSUUpedia Restore Division's last uploads. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 10:25, 20 November 2021 (UTC)

Keep vote was not seen Commons:Deletion_requests/Copyrighted_Hanafuda_Trace Flicky1984 (talk) 23:19, 20 November 2021 (UTC)

 Oppose In the first place, these were deleted at Commons:Deletion requests/Copyright hanafuda and there were no comments there after the nomination. Also, at the cited DR, the Keep comment did not address the issue that these are clearly derivative works and infringe on the copyright of their original creator. It argues that we can keep these as Fair Use, which we do not accept. It also argues that their creation as SVG digital works somehow makes them different from the physical cards and therefore they do not infringe. Finally, in the Keep comment, Flicky1984 says,

"Finally, I'd like to state that in my many years experience on Wikipedia, requests for deletion by new users with little history of editing seem to always have a personal angle. I'd like to know if that's the case here, and call for the user who filed the request to identify themselves in a meaningful way."

That's a little strange, since the "new user[s] with little history" has more than twice as many edits on Commons as Flicky (to be sure, it's 124 to 52, so neither of them is at all experienced) and neither has bothered to create a User Page. It is true that Flicky joined the WP:EN in 2006, but they have made fewer than 1500 edits on all projects. All in all, not a good base from which to be making ad hominem comments..     Jim . . .

 Oppose The text of the poem was written in 1859, so it is long PD. I think this is the 1933 London edition with illustrations by Arthur Rackham who died in 1939. If that is the case, lack of notice makes the illustrations subject to the URAA. The work had a UK copyright until 1/1/2010 (70 years after Rackham's death), which is after the URAA date, so it will be PD 95 years after publication, January 1, 2029. .     Jim . . .

Photographs of a 1920s building were deleted by @Jameslwoodward: saying that "THe recent work is obvious and certainly copyrighted".

 Oppose I looked at all of the images in the DR and all of them have the modern windows.

 Info Supposedly, it was only one area of the building which was renovated more recently, with the rest of the building old enough to be PD (South Africa is a 50pma country). So to me, a photo of the entire building is a photo of a wider subject than the copyrighted material, with the newer parts being "incidental". Much like, per s:Ets-Hokin v. Skyy Spirits, Inc., a photo of a bottle with a copyrighted label is not a derivative work; it's only a problem if the photo is focusing on the label itself (and our other example, a photo of the entire Louvre square is not derivative of the pyramid). So I think I was only recommending deletion of the ones which could be argued were focusing on the recent additions, and not the building as a whole. To me, it shouldn't matter if the newer windows are fairly prominent, as long as the photo is of a wider subject (e.g. the entire building). Carl Lindberg (talk) 01:18, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

Carl, I think you're stretching here. This was a grain silo -- walls of blank concrete with no windows. The renovation added windows, so even if they were not themselves very creative, the renovation was a transformation of the building. It seems to me that that creates a new copyright in the whole building. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:53, 10 November 2021 (UTC)

@Jameslwoodward: Oh, goodness no. The only new copyright is in the added expression, just like any other derivative work. You don't get to extend the copyright on anything already existing. As the Copyright Office says, The copyright in a derivative work covers only the additions, changes, or other new material appearing for the first time in the work. Protection does not extend to any preexisting material, that is, previously published or previously registered works or works in the public domain or owned by a third party. As a result, it is not possible to extend the length of protection for a copyrighted work by creating a derivative work. Carl Lindberg (talk) 14:30, 10 November 2021 (UTC)

Hmm. I think you're working off the wrong analogy. If I publish a new book version of Alice in Wonderland with a new preface, then, as you say, only the new preface gets a copyright. However, when the changes fundamentally change the character of the work it's not so clear. If a book is made into a movie or stageplay, or vice versa, then the whole new work has a copyright. It may be that dialog that is identical in the two works does not get a new copyright. It is well established that colorizing a b&w movie gives rise to a new copyright, but colorization is a less fundamental change that we have here. .     Jim . . .

    • @Yann: It doesn't look like anyone else wants to comment on this here. Given that @Jameslwoodward, who was also the deleting admin, is the only one opposing, perhaps the files can be temporarily undeleted and we can move this back to the deletion requests process (perhaps copying James's comments into that discussion) to see if others want to comment there to reach a consensus?

Undeleted to allow for a discussion. The file appears a handwritten entry, it looks suffiently old to me. Ellywa (talk) 15:02, 25 November 2021 (UTC)
@Sänger: perhaps you can add a more precise description on the file page, describing what the source of the image is. For instance, where is this Stammbuch kept?
Translated with Google translate: Vielleicht können Sie auf der Dateiseite eine genauere Beschreibung hinzufügen, die die Quelle des Bildes beschreibt. Wo wird zum Beispiel dieses Stammbuch aufbewahrt? Ellywa (talk) 15:20, 25 November 2021 (UTC)
Was sollte da zugefügt werden? Das ist eine Schrift von 1783, da gibt es kein Urheberrecht mehr, mehr Public Domain geht kaum. Wie auf der Disk des Hochladers nachgelesen werden kann und natürlich vom Löscher gelesen worden ist (oder wird hier einfach ohne Nachdenken stumpf gelöscht?), stammt das allesamt aus dem Wiener Archiv, also aus eindeutig gemeinfreier Quelle.
What should be added? It's a page from 1783, there is no copyvio possible, more public domain is impossible. As you can see here, which I assume the deleter at least must have seen (or are files here being dumb deleted without any thinking?), all those pages were from the Viennese Archives, thus as public domain as public domain can be.

If I am considering a deletion request I do not read such user talk pages. I only consider what is written on the deletion request page, look at the image and the mentioned source. That's why the uploader was requested to add comments there. Please add the origin of the file to the file page. For instance that they scanned it in a Viennese archive, preferably also which archive. Like a historian or scientist would do. Thanks, Ellywa (talk) 22:50, 25 November 2021 (UTC)
I thought you would be the uploader, but you are not. The uploader should give a proof that the file is in PD, per COM:EVID. Someone else would not be able to do this. Ellywa (talk) 22:55, 25 November 2021 (UTC)
 Support By its description, it's an entry in a family register. So the source is named. The uploader claims to have scanned it themselves. It's probably PD-ineligible in the first place, as formulaic text (though a transcription would be nice), but copyright would have expired if it existed -- put PD-old-100 on it.

Could you undelete the blue "GO" version of Thailand road sign ต-53? It was suddenly deleted on purpose as requested by Fry1989 thinking that he needs the source for this. Thanks.

The file is currently on the English page by uncountable years, where no one dared to consider its copyrights, given that it is already 90 years old. The user who deleted it has a problem with the proves that the real title of the film is not 'Voß' (as he insisted to not admit) but 'Voss', as in the film itself and its advertising. This is not the only case on a German page where the proven reality that a movie title name was ending in 'ss' and not in 'ß'. The reason? Well… I would not be able to 'prove' that the one I guess to be is real and, for sure, not 'proper', so… let us not talk about which reason could move some German people to 'revert' whatever some 'not German ones' DARES to correct ;-) (talk) 19:38, 24 November 2021 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by GianMarco Tavazzani (talk • contribs) 19:38, 24 November 2021‎ (UTC)

I'm not sure on who from a film crew is relevant for the copyright expiry of the entire film, but the director of said film passed away only in 1956, the camera operator even only in 1989. So I see no reason to believe the film is no longer protected. --PaterMcFly (talk) 20:02, 25 November 2021 (UTC)
