Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Khoshnevis Mansion

@Krd: I'm repeating my request here, to you or someone else. Once again, seven deleted files show a historical building, almost 200 years old. That's pretty clear from it's infobox (Khoshnevis Mansion) which states it's style is the Qajar architecture, further linking to parent categories which shows it's the 1789–1925 period. Also, I used four references for the style in Wikidata (which I always do for historical monuments). A lot of time of searching, reading and referencing, all for nothing, because the careless editor A1Cafel nominated all for deletion, without a basic check. Really frustrating. --Orijentolog (talk) 09:54, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

 Oppose The WP:FA article tells us only that, as you say, the building dates to the Qajar period, which ended in 1925. While the building may well be 200 years old, we have no evidence of that. A 1925 building is far too recent to assume that it is out of copyright. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 15:50, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

@Jameslwoodward: there is nothing, I'll repeat, absolutely NOTHING of Qajar architecture which is copyrighted. I personally passed over 1000 locations and there was never a copyright issue. Even virtually all Pahlavi architecture (1925–1979) sites are today free (30 years passed since public presentation). Please elaborate your claim that "a 1925 building is far too recent to assume that it is out of copyright". It makes zero sense. --Orijentolog (talk) 16:34, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
 Comment Iran has a very short copyright duration, so anything from 1925 or before is certainly in the public domain. Yann (talk) 17:00, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
Consulting COM:Iran says copyright for architectural works are expired if the author died more than 50 years ago (1973) or if they had died before 22 August 1980, for works that their copyright expired before 22 August 2010 according to the 1970 law. 1925 is too young for even a 100 year assumption (1923 would be the last year as far as that goes), and an author who created something in 1925 could have lived beyond 1980. I agree with Jim here.  Oppose (see below) Abzeronow (talk) 17:51, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
@Abzeronow: did you read the rest of the COM:Iran? "In cases where the work belongs to a legal personality or rights are transferred to a legal personality, it will go into the public domain after 30 years from the date of publication or public presentation"? This is really getting more and more bizarre. --Orijentolog (talk) 18:29, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
For the record, the page mentions "financial rights" while the template PD-Iran has the wording you quote. When one tries to remember the copyright laws for 200+ countries, occasionally one forgets the finer details, we are only human after all. Usually this is where we'd try to ascertain whether the building in question belongs or rights were transferred to a legal personality. Abzeronow (talk) 19:05, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
IMO this is greatly exaggerated. We have accepted many pictures of works from the time of the Shah regime, as sufficiently old. The 50 years pma duration supposes that the architect is known. For pre-1925 works, it is very unlikely. Even with 50 years pma, they works are most probably in the public domain. Architects of pre-1925 works most probably died more than 50 years ago. Yann (talk) 19:39, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

@Krd: @Jameslwoodward: @Abzeronow: feel free to delete thousands of other sites. I don't care any more. Thanks for proving this website isn't for professionals but destructive charlatans. This is really below my civilizational and intellectual level, so I'm out of this savagery. Goodbye. --Orijentolog (talk) 18:41, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

I am very sorry for these excessive positions which led Orientolog to abandon its precious work on Commons. Invoking copyright for works created 100 years ago (and 1925 is 100 years ago) leaves me very perplexed. Best regards, DenghiùComm (talk) 07:52, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
Yes. We use a 120 years rule when the copyright duration is 70 years pma, so for Iran, where the copyright duration is at most 50 years pma, a 100 years rule seems appropriate. Yann (talk) 10:06, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
All of the above speaks as if we have exact knowledge of when the building was built. It may be 150 years old, or 100, or 75. PCP requires us to have proof beyond a significant doubt. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 16:06, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
@Jameslwoodward: It can not be "75 years old" because the Qajar period lasted until 1925. That's 99 years ago. To summarize:
  1. Dating: no precise information, unfortunately. The website of Iranian architectural encyclopedia is down at the moment, so I can not check is there any indication about dating. I strongly believe it's the second half of the 19th century, considering the comparative analysis with other Qajar houses from that area, but we can ignore it as personal guessing.
  2. "Young" architect: even if we take "1925" as the year of construction, it is impossible that in strict patriarchal society like Qajar Iran some nobleman will give the construction of his mansion to a young apprentice architect who is 20-25 years old. That's totally out of question.
  3. Architect's lifespan: even if we take the (im)possibility that architect was born around 1900, the life expectancy in Iran in the middle of 20th century was less than 40 years old (yup, less than forty). An average person would be dead by 1940. Even if we assume he lived 80% longer than average person, 50 years still passed since his death. For that reason, there is no way that anything from Qajar period can be copyrighted. It relies on multiple impossibilities.
  4. The property is almost certainly acquired by ministry of culture or other governmental organization decades ago (likely there's info about it on the down website), as is the case with over 90% cultural monuments, and then leased to a private owner who use it as hotel (as sourced). It means 30 years passed from the date of public presentation.
Again, this is not the issue of the Khoshnevis Mansion in particular, but about over 1000 Qajar sites on Commons. If they're endangered by bizarre interpretation, I'm really out of this project. --Orijentolog (talk) 19:13, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
Orijentolog, Architectural design eras do not have exact boundaries. While the Qajar period lasted until 1925, buildings designed in that style may have been built long after the period formally ended. Houses in the Victorian style are still being built, although Victoria died in 1901. It is, as I said, entirely possible that this building was not built until 1950 or later. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 21:46, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
@Jameslwoodward: Not correct, for Iranarchpedia the "Qajar architecture" means the period strictly between 1789 and 1925, not a year later. The same goes for other periods. There's not a single exception, I know it because I personally edited and checked virtually all Cultural heritage monuments in Iran here (>2000) and many more on Wikidata. --Orijentolog (talk) 04:27, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
@Jameslwoodward: For example: in a strict architectural sense, the Cossack House (Tehran) was built in the Russian neoclassical style, but Iranarchpedia treats it as "Qajar and Pahlavi" (قدمت: قاجاریه و پهلوی) because it was built in the Qajar period and renovated in the Pahlavi period. In other words, their periodization ain't artistic but purely historical. --Orijentolog (talk) 04:37, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
I have no problem waiting a few days for the Iranian architectural encyclopedia to come back online, if it can be shown that this building dates from the second 19th century, then I'll strike my oppose and support your request. Even if it can be shown this was from 1915, I'd probably support your request. It would definitely be helpful if someone else who was an expert in Iran weighed in on this. Abzeronow (talk) 19:29, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
@Abzeronow: some items have permanently broken links to the PDF files, as the Iranarchpedia's director explained me few months ago when we exchanged emails. I can ask him. This article confirms my latest point, a newly established hotel was opened by Ali Asghar Mounesan, then minister of Ministry of Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism, and other regional cultural officials. The property is state-owned, and leased to a private investor. There's the nearby Pahlavanpur Garden, again Qajar architecture and sourced as the 20th century (UNESCO's file, p.391). The document speaks about original owners as the former ones (p.390), and explains the registered gardens in general are under state ownership (p.664-). For sure it implies for Khoshnevis Mansion also. The architect of much recent Azadi Tower is still alive, but many times it was explained that it's under gov/municipal ownership and 30 years passed since public presentation. --Orijentolog (talk) 21:23, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
OK, striked my oppose.  Support as public domain as a government owned building. Abzeronow (talk) 21:44, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
You have to be careful with using life exectancy. Life expectancies of 40 generally indicate high infant mortality. See the graph at Mapping History - University of Oregon. When the US had a life expectancy of around 40, a 20-year-old man would be likely to hit 60, and a 40-year-old man would be likely to see 65.--Prosfilaes (talk) 17:53, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
Sure, but even taking that into account, it is very unlikely that an architect working in 1925 would still be alive in 1973. Yann (talk) 08:03, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

File: rythme et chant Beninois.jpg

Salut. Ce file sert de témoin au gagnant du wiki love folklore 2023 que je suis. Wiki media ne vend pas les œuvres ils les conserve pour partager les connaissances donc cela permet la visibilité à l'artiste puis au soutien au contributeur gagnant. Car c'est juste du bénévolat et par ce prix vous nous consolez et soutenez nos recherches. L'art en Afrique se repose sur la renommée et l'image le reste il y a pas de gain.

File:Flag of Grounding Countries.svg

I would like to nominate this file for undeletion, I believe it was wrongfully deleted as it is not copyrighted and there wasn't a clear reason given to delete it. Furthermore, I actually know Grounding Countries on YT and I helped him come up with the flag design. Don't believe me? Just ask him on his YT Channel. I hope you understand all of this.

--TheKumquatGuy2662 (talk) 19:19, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

I'm inclined to agree that it is too simple for copyright in the US, but I don't see an educational use for this. Is Grounding Countries a notable YouTube channel? Abzeronow (talk) 19:24, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
Yes, but when he saw that I uploaded it to Wikimedia Commons, he did not show any signs of disapproval. In fact, it's quite the opposite of disapproval. TheKumquatGuy2662 (talk) 19:34, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
I'm not seeing much that indicates Grounding Countries is notable as far as independent press coverage of them (I do see they are on a Fandom wiki). Abzeronow (talk) 19:40, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

There could be some use in this, people can use it to express themselves better in some way that you and I don't know about. I don't know, that was just one possibility. TheKumquatGuy2662 (talk) 20:03, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

    If that was the case, then all fictional flags would have been deleted by now. TheKumquatGuy2662 (talk) 19:35, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
    All fictional flags which are not in project scope should indeed be deleted from Commons. There may be occasional famous or notable fictional flags with legitimate educational value within project scope, but random flags people make up certainly don't belong here. (There are many other places on the internet for such things.) -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 19:58, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

    Commons is actually more lenient than English Wikipedia concerning notability, but we are definitely stricter than Wikidata (which doesn't have an entry for Grounding Countries).

    Please refrain from making personal attacks @TheKumquatGuy2662.

    Your saying "I still won't rest until the file is restored. It's as simple as that. Also, I will not allow anyone to close this discussion" seemed to me a specific threat to be a pest, which is why I used the term. I cautioned you not to go on that path. If you think you can make useful contributions to Commons I suggest you put some of your attention elsewhere than making your sole purpose arguing about a single flag that you have not seemed to convince anyone else is important for project scope. Your efforts in this direction seem at best wasting the time of yourself and the rest of us. -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 03:43, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

    The discussion does seem to have gone a bit sideways. Central to Commons though is Commons:Project scope, which is "realistically useful for an educational purpose". Mainly, we want media targeted to illustrating Wikipedia articles, or Wikibooks, or Wikivoyage articles, or from actual historical documents which are transcluded on Wikisource, and so on -- in other words, media targeted at also being used on one of those projects, or an article which could realistically exist in the future on one of those projects, or maybe internet articles on similar topics. We do not want to be a host for everyone's vacation photos (Commons:WEBHOST) -- so we need some dividing line somewhere to disallow those, while allowing the photos of common points of interest, even if some try to argue that 10,000 vacation photos could be used to illustrate typical fashion choices. So, "realistically useful" is different than "theoretically useful" -- there needs to be a something more concrete than a very unlikely but theoretically possible reason. There are certainly some fictional flags here, though we delete many, and I'm sure some exist which would be deleted if brought to attention. When it comes to those, it's more about the entity the flag is representing -- is that interesting to enough people for its symbols to be interesting by association. For better or worse, we often look to Wikipedia's "notability" guidelines used to determine if an article is interesting enough to keep on Wikipedia -- which in turn look for independent "reliable sources" of others writing about the entity, and not the entity simply trying to promote itself. National or state or municipal flags which were proposed and seriously considered by a government are enough, even if they were never used (though more modern ones may have copyright issues if they never became public domain). Images used as part of popular games (provided they are too simple for copyright) may exist. There can be reasons to keep fictional flags -- but also reasons to delete them. As with most anything, there are always gray areas. You can search on deletion requests involving fictional flags, to see some of the arguments which have come before. (And like court cases, I'm sure there are some inconsistencies in the decisions.) In this case, if the YouTube channel of "Grounding Countries" is notable, then the symbols they use become of interest by association. If it's not notable, then that aspect for keeping them does not exist, and it's unlikely to find another reason. Carl Lindberg (talk) 06:18, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
I call on all parts to remain calm and amiable, as well as exercise restraint:
-To experienced users: It is true that fictional flags are not only being permitted but also included in Wikipedia articles in lieu of real flags. Name calling from more experienced is not part of community guidelines (actually it suggests the contrary).
-To the user: Keep bringing the same points that are not convincing other users should give you a hint to change tactics or give another rationale.

Reason: The source page notes that the image is under CC BY 4.0. Thanks, Frostly (talk) 00:50, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

 Oppose The source is given as [3] which brings up a 404 error. It was never Flickreviewed. The Flickr editor has used several different licenses and the fact that it is no longer present on Flickr gives rise to the question of whether its use there was challenged. Since we don't know the license, we cannot keep it on Commons.

The page cited by Frostly above is not the same image and contrary to Frostly's claim, is marked with an explicit copyright notice and the ToS allows only non-commercial use..     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 14:27, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

@Jameslwoodward Somewhere in the bottom it says, "Click here for an official photo of Andrew Hastie under CC BY 4.0" and the blue link takes one to this image which is same as the deleted one. However, I am really unsure where on the the original source is the file released under CC BY 4.0? as Andrewhastie.com doesn't appear to be the original copyrights holder. Nonetheless, Frostly is right in their statement. ─ Aafī (talk) 14:34, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
Right you are, good catch, thank you. However, it is obvious that Hastie is not the photographer, so it is impossible to use the image under the CC-BY license since the license requires naming the photographer and we cannot do that. Also, of course, the usual license from a professional portrait photographer would allow Hastie to use the image for his political purposes but would not allow him to freely license it to others. I think we need a license from the actual photographer. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 15:17, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

Deleted despite all agreed it was not a frame of the film, but a public domain publicity image for the film. The confusion occurs by referring to both types of images as a "still" as opposed to one called a "publicity image" or "publicity still". --RAN (talk) 23:27, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

@Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ): Which not renewed copyright record did you mean? Ankry (talk) 00:13, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
  • To be eligible for a USA copyright up to 1964, you were required to provide notice per {{PD-US-no notice}} on every perceivable copy of the image, and were required to register for the copyright, and then renew that copyright. While the film was registered and renewed, there is no indication that the publicity images were registered or renewed. They do not appear in either the registration or renewal database. To answer why: Publicity images were purposely not copyrighted to maximize their reproduction by newspapers and magazines for free publicity, the alternative was for the producers to pay for an advertisement. --RAN (talk) 00:24, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
Ugh. It certainly looks like a publicity shot, which if distributed at the time without notice would have made it PD. It probably is, just by its nature. However, do we have evidence of a copy which was actually distributed then, say something like this publicity photo on EBay? It remains possible that a work which was not published at the time only got published after 1989, which would mean it would still be under copyright. Loss of copyright did require actual copies to be distributed. While it probably is OK, I can understand people believing that there is still a significant doubt without any other source information beyond IMDB (which does not give a source itself from what I can see). Especially as a crop may have cropped out a copyright notice, as unlikely as they were in that era -- it helps to see the full original. Carl Lindberg (talk) 15:17, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
Some publicity shots did have a copyright notice. File:Press photo of William Holden and Gloria Swanson in Sunset Boulevard (front).jpg is an example from 1950 with a copyright notice and the remark Permission granted for Newspaper and Magazine reproduction. --Rosenzweig τ 08:06, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

File:Flag of Wakanda.svg

Hello. I uploaded this file some times ago. A few days ago someone marked it for speedy deletion for "copyright violation". I had explained back then that it did not break copyrights, and I still hold that belive. However, aside from the reporter, nobody engaged with me in the discussion, and I belive it was speedy deleted without reading my explanations. I still strongly belive that it does not violate Wikipedia poliecies. It is a flag of a fictional country, and there is entire category dedicated to them (Category:Flags of fictional countries)vincluding other flags from movies, tv shows, and games, and I don't see how they are ok to be in commons, but my file, was singled out for deletion, while it's not fundamentally different from any of those files. Additionally, it is an obscure symbol, used only in the background of one video game, and is not copyrighted by Marvel, nor used in any of its merchendising or promotional materials, etc. I strongly believe that the file can be present in Commons, and should be restored. Sincerely, Artemis Andromeda (talk) 11:50, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

 Oppose OP claims to be the author and licenses this under a Creative Commons license. This particular flag design is available at loots of web sites (YouTube, Ebay, buy your own flag) In short, OP did not create this flag or can claim copyright. Thuresson (talk) 17:11, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
@Thuresson: Hi, I do not claim ownership of the flag. As I said, it's a flag from Spiderman video game. I merly made SVG version. If there is an issue with template (I used it as in understanding I made that specific svg version), then please direct me to better template. Also, those ebay website you linked are in 90% cases bots, who scrape designs from commons, and I saw some directly coping file I uploaded to commons a few weeks ago, including the mistakes that I later corrected. So your argument is heavly flawed. Respectfully, Artemis Andromeda (talk) 18:11, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

If you visit my website and click on the image, you'll see in the caption that I have stated that a free license version of the photo is available on Wikipedia.

@BillCramer: Be aware that a license usually applies to any resolution of an image. Yann (talk) 15:15, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
I think we would try to respect any such wishes, though there is some copyright theory that there is no additional copyrightable expression in a larger version of the photograph, meaning a license on the low-res version is a license on all sizes. Not sure that has been tested in court but it is possible (and could differ by country). At any rate, if permissions-commons was emailed, the file should be undeleted at the end of that process, once everything is verified there (they will post an undeletion request here).

Chilean TOO files

Hello there. I want to ask for the undeletion of some images from Chile that have been deleted as a result of the misleading effect a now-removed phrase included on the COM:TOO Chile had. Per my reasoning at Commons:Deletion requests/File:AbcdinLogo.svg, these files are not copyrighted in Chile as they are way too simple, and the former claim that the "Estamos bien los 33" was copyrighted was not correct, there was a "presumed copyright" which has since been disputed in court.

Some of the files include:

  • File:Primera dama logo.png
  • File:MegaDementeLogo.jpg
  • File:Estación Vivaceta.png
  • File:Mega.png
  • File:Logotipo de Teletrece (1994-1995).png
  • File:Logotipo de Teletrece (1970-1972).png

--Bedivere (talk) 19:59, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

Was your statement in that DR a ruling by the court, or just an argument by one of the parties? Not sure we can take an argument by one party in a court case as evidence that they will win on that argument. That all said, if the authority that registered the phrase earlier did not have any obligation to determine if it was above the threshold of originality in the first place, then not sure the registration can be taken as evidence for their being a copyright (unlike the U.S., where a copyright registration comes with that determination, so if published as a registered work there, it's likely above the threshold). Carl Lindberg (talk) 21:53, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
That's correct. The registration authority just complies with registration requests without actually pronunciating or determining the registered work is or not copyrightable, that's what I've called presumed copyright. The court case is still ongoing (has been for several years for causes unrelated to the actual Leitmotiv). Sernageomin's position (to my knowledge of Chilean law, and as a graduate) is entirely correct, but it just helps (within the DR comment) to illustrate why giving the "Estamos bien..." registration as the cause for deletion of files such as those I've mentioned is not prudential, as the registration does not imply a copyright was actually generated, and including it in the TOO Chile page was not helping. You've understood the whole point though Carl. Just a close look at the pertinent law clears up the whole picture Bedivere (talk) 07:11, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
  • I have restored Primera dama, MegaDemente and Mega as they seem to me, very clearly, too simple to be copyrighted in Chile, which was the reason to delete them originally. I'm unsure for the others, they are not trivial. Simpler versions of the Teletrece logos could be uploaded by leaving just the letters. I withdraw the request to undelete Estación Vivaceta as it is not too simple (as I thought it was when nominating). --Bedivere (talk) 02:45, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Kevlo92400

These items were deleted "per nomination" and the nomination was that the uploader listed themselves as the creator: "very unlikely to be own work". The attribution was fixed prior to deletion, yet they were deleted. Another voter wrote delete because of "self-promotion" but loading images from a family archive of watchmakers is not self promotion. Providing images of one's ancestors is not self promotion, adding your own image would be self promotion, and even then, we are allowed to add a self image for our user pages. There were no images at all of the uploader. --RAN (talk) 18:10, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

 Comment I agree with you on scope, but some of these appear to be 1920s or 1930s photographs and File:Portrait de Théophile Joseph Lognoné (1869-1920).jpg could have been 1910 rather than 1900 as the receding hairline points more to 40 than 30.

  •  Comment I closed the DR as a deletion because I considered they were all derivative with no sufficient indication on source, not because they were self promotion. In particular, Chateaubriand's bust was erected in 1998 and this artwork is not PD (BTW files in Category:Buste de Chateaubriand (Dol-de-Bretagne) are problematic).

  • @Kevlo007007: You claimed at one point that you are the heir to the Théophile Lognoné archive and the copyrights, you need to indicate which images were taken by Théophile Lognoné (1869-1920) or Théophile Julien Lognoné (1895-1974) and switch those to {{Cc-by-sa-4.0-heirs}} from their current CC license, and you need to file a VRT form. There are photos of his family taken in their home, so he owned a camera and was an amateur photographer. Images taken by third party photographers, the copyright belongs to them until they expire. Also write the family biographies at Familypedia (Fandom) first and work out the references there, that way if they get deleted at Wikipedia they will still exist at Familypedia. I started an entry there and left the link on your talk page. Wikidata links to Familypedia. Familypedia is part of Fandom and is the for-profit version of Wikipedia, started by the same guy.

You can start by rescanning File:Mariage de Marguerite Chanvril et Théophile Lognoné le 19 avril 1922 à l’Eglise Toussaints de Rennes.png You should scan all images at 600 dpi, you can always make smaller but can't add resolution. Store as a png file instead of a jpg, so they do net get overly compressed. --RAN (talk) 23:35, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
  • You also need to file a COM:VRT and list what images were created by Théophile Lognoné (1869-1920) and Théophile Julien Lognoné (1895-1974). Those would be the images that you inherited the copyright to. I had asked you to do this over a month ago. List the correct person as the author= instead of adding your name. You are the uploader, not the creator. You are welcome to load the images to Familypedia, but there you also have properly list the correct author. Familypedia accepts fair use imagery for ones that you are not the copyright holder. If one of your articles get accepted at Wikipedia you can add in fair use images there too. --RAN (talk) 23:56, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

The Dover Boys files

A few years ago some files from the film "The Dover Boys" were deleted, as per this deletion request, with the reasoning that the film is still copyrighted. The proof given was a document mentioning the film. However, lots of documents are filed later in regards to films, and just because it's mentioned that doesn't mean it's still copyrighted. What counts more in this case with a film from 1942 is if the film's copyright was renewed. A glance through the copyright catalogs for 1969-1971 returns no renewals. That would mean the film is in public domain, as it says in the article "List of animated films in the public domain in the United States" on Wikipedia, which has credible sources. The document in the deletion request contains quite a few films besides "The Dover Boys" which didn't have their copyrights renewed. I want the files to be restored and put in Category:The Dover Boys at Pimento University since I see no reason the files should be deleted. Grey ghost (talk) 21:20, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

It is true that the deletion reason was a citation to a "Recorded Document", which is just a statement filed with the Copyright Office on copyright transfers, terminations, and some other housekeeping stuff related to copyright. They are not themselves a registration or renewal, and can include works never registered or works that have expired. It is simply a statement made for the public record, and making things easier to research and trace. It is not an indication that the copyright still existed -- you would need to find an explicit renewal record for that. I did a quick search and could not find one, though I wouldn't put much stock in that. However, it sounds like more careful searches have been done, and the deletion reason was definitely wrong, so  Support. Carl Lindberg (talk) 22:45, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

Files deleted by Holly Cheng

Please restore the following pages:

Reason: These files have been deleted in accordance with the discussion Commons:Deletion requests/Screenshots from Salo (film). The nominator noted that this Italian film was released in 1975 with a US copyright notice. But this is a mistake. The file the nominator linked to (it:File:Salò o le 120 giornate di Sodoma 001.jpg) is not the original screenshot from the 1975 film, but a screenshot from a later DVD release (no one was releasing a DVD in 1975). There is no reason to believe that the copyright was registered not only in Italy but also in the USA at the time of the film's release. Filming places was be Bologna, Castelfranco Emilia and Mantua. According to the legislation of Italy, where this film was shot, frames of the film are protected by copyright for 20 years (Art. 92 of Law for the Protection of Copyright and Neighboring Rights n.633). Since the film was first screened on 22.11.1975 at the Paris Film Festival (filmed between 03.03.1975-09.05.1975), it was in the public domain as of the Copyright Restoration Date (URAA) of 01.01.1996 (22.11.1975 + 20 years = 22.11.1995).

I see no reason to believe that screenshots from a DVD release or a Blu-ray release are sufficient grounds for removing a files. In addition, judging by the resolution of the files, they are not from this DVD.

For the first one, we'd need to know more about the publication of the circa 1935 photograph. Could be public domain in France and the US. For the second,  Oppose as still under copyright in the US because of URAA restoration (circa 1945 photo). @Racconish: Abzeronow (talk) 17:34, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
  • Oppose both. The first one, derivated from File:Henri Boisselier.jpg, was likely published in print [8] at an unknown date. Per Commons:Anonymous works, merely ignoring when it was published and who the author was does not suffice to establish the author is anonymous. At best, according to article 113-10 of French copyright law, if there would be proof of a sufficiently diligent search (such as those indicated here which is not the case) the image should be considered as an orphan work, which authorizes certain types of uses but not a commercial one and is therefore incompatible with Commons requisites (per article 6 of EEC Directive 2012/28 on orphan works). — Racconish 💬 21:23, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

It remains my opinion that all of these files should be deleted. We have no reason to believe that these files were deliberately published under a free license. Gnom (talk) 16:09, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
That is objectively false. The reason is that the video was uploaded with a CCBY license to Youtube. The video even still has this license. It is CCBY . Also C.Suthorn would you please stop writing German on talk pages? Prototyperspective (talk) 16:20, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

We don't care about the trademark. But as it was mentioned below, the poster copyright remains even if the video is under a free license. Yann (talk) 20:11, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
  •  Oppose I don't see why the video being CC licensed has anything to do with freedom of panorama somehow not applying the mural. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 17:57, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
  •  Oppose I agreed with the The Squirrel Conspiracy. The licensing of the video has nothing to do with the advertisement. The advertisement is copyrighted and freedom of panorama does not apply to it. As for all the other files in the category, they should also be deleted, as even if the video is properly freely licensed, it is full of separately copyrighted content. In fact probably every single thing in the video is separately copyrighted. So the only parts of the video that are actually free are the editing and arrangement of the video content. If we removed everything copyrighted from the video, there would be nothing left. Nosferattus (talk) 19:32, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
  •  Oppose I don't speak German, but can use Google Translate. It appears the result of one DR (which was based on not qualifying for freedom of panorama) is being appealed on the basis of us keeping a licensed video from Flickr (and direct derivatives of just that video). I don't see how they are related. The video license only applies to the actual content in the video, nothing any wider, so while those files should be OK, there is no general license for anything related to the game or other materials. If the photo does not qualify for freedom of panorama on its own merits, then it should remain deleted. Carl Lindberg (talk) 21:17, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
  •  Comment The main supporting argument for keeping File:Hogwarts Legacy – Official 4K Reveal Trailer.webm was that the publisher themselves released the video on YouTube under a Commons accepted license and it is therefore expected that this publisher has any necessary rights to subordinate copyrighted content (such as the audio accompanying the visuals). Most opposing arguments are second guessing whether the publisher intended to or were themselves permitted to use a Commons accepted license for subordinate works. I don't know any particulars of File:Hogwarts Legacy.jpg but I would assume that it wasn't published under a Commons accepted license by the game publisher, therefore the reason for deletion is different, just an ordinary freedom of panorama justification. --Dhx1 (talk) 00:10, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
    • @Dhx1: The file in question was a three-story tall painting of the cover of the video game. It was in a designated advertising space (the contact info to rent that space was right below the image). So it's similar to a billboard; it's only up for the period of time that the purchaser rented that spot. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 03:10, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

I'd like to have this brought back, as it is dated to 1928/1929 in the original facebook post, and the current process for uploading says that something is in the public domain in the us if it was published before 1929 – Big ooga booga mf (talk) 13:06, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

Is it a Facebook user in the photo? Who is the man in the back? Thuresson (talk) 15:10, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
I do not know, I have never noticed him thus far . . . Big ooga booga mf (talk) 15:54, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
@Big ooga booga mf: Where exactly was it published before 1929? Definitely not on Facebook. Being made before 1929 is not enough for PD status. Ankry (talk) 00:01, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
"Фотографија од @Valja Trajkovska / Photograph from (repeat)"
the uploader was provided the photo by the woman mentioned above Big ooga booga mf (talk) 11:30, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
This is not about publication. I suspect that this is a private photo, unpublished before Facebook publication. Unless we know who the photographer is, it would be copyrighted 70 years since the FB post. At least in Russia. In US it may become PD 120 years afret creation, in 2050 (1929+120+1). Ankry (talk) 13:28, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
it seems to me as well that it might be a private photo, as a specific photographer is never mentioned anywhere, just a list of the family members & who "donated" the photo to the uploader Big ooga booga mf (talk) 13:36, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

 Oppose This was posted at a Macedonian Facebook page so Russian copyright law is probably not relevant. More importantly though, it looks like a Facebook user photoshopped himself into the photo (backrow), hence out of scope. Thuresson (talk) 04:18, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
perhaps, as it is strange that the left shoulder is missing on the background man, yet I've never seen the actual face of the guy behind the page "Егејскиот дел на Македонија". who knows who it could be Big ooga booga mf (talk) 09:16, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
It is also probably in the public domain in Macedonia ({{PD-North Macedonia}}), but I can't support a photoshopped image. Yann (talk) 09:21, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
i've contacted the original guy who uploaded it, he said he uploaded the image as it was given to him, so it being photoshopped is ruled out
now i've texted the woman who lent the photo to the guy behind "Егејскиот дел на Македонија", am just waiting on her response (which could be hours later, idk when she'll respond)
regardless, the guy who uploaded it on the aegean facebook page says the image in untouched Big ooga booga mf (talk) 10:44, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
i've had enough of waiting, i just asked his permission, he granted it (given that the original lady hasn't responded in 4 hours at least, nor has she gone online at all) Big ooga booga mf (talk) 15:12, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
i have been granted permission, what will happen to this file? or is it still being deliberated over? wherever y'all do that Big ooga booga mf (talk) 17:18, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
I see nothing about unpublished works in {{PD-North Macedonia}}. @Yann: Why do you think that it is PD there? Ankry (talk) 00:56, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
We usually assume that old documents were published at the time of creation. At that time, a picture leaving the photographer's custody constituted publication. Yann (talk) 10:04, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
it's been over a week and i have the required permission from the uploader.
do i have to prove this? and if so, how?
.
can we just get this over with?? Big ooga booga mf (talk) 21:15, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
I still do not see any educational use of an old family photo where somebody in modern times photoshopped himself into it. Thuresson (talk) 22:05, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
i was told that that's how it was sent to him, no photoshopping done apparently
if there's some way i can prove it, i will
.
educational purpose? the only image of folk costumes from the region "Lower Prespa" (today located in the municipality of greece, a part of aegean macedonia)
essentially it will be used as the main image representing one of 3 regions where the folk costumes were separate from each other (Народни носии од Преспа) Big ooga booga mf (talk) 23:11, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

 Comment I am not sure how a photoshopped image of unknown derivation and origin is within scope, and I don't see the argument for it being within scope. I don't see the argyment that whomever handed it on is a clearance that it is out of copyright, just whomever has a version of the original. I feel that we should decline the request as out of scope and not educational. If it is needed at a wiki, then take it to the wiki where you want to use it.  — billinghurst sDrewth 02:54, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

i've been told it wasn't edited at all when handed over. idk what to make of the supposedly photoshopped thing anymore
it educates upon the appearance of the folk costume of lower prespa, and will do so in the macedonian wiki
.
yes it is needed in the mk wiki, idk how i'm meant to use a deleted image though . . .

The image in question has no copyright, yet it was deleted.

The image caption states, in Spanish:[9]

"La revista Estilo de Vida y Manuel Alexiades dedica al dominio público esta fotografía, mediante la cesión mundial de sus derechos sobre esta fotografía bajo la ley de derechos de autor y todos los derechos legales adyacentes propios de dicha ley. Es posible copiar, modificar, distribuir y reproducir esta fotografía, incluso con objetivos comerciales, sin pedir aprobación."

Google translates it as:

"The magazine Estilo de Vida y Manuel Alexiades dedicates this photograph to the public domain, through the worldwide transfer of its rights over this photograph under the copyright law and all adjacent legal rights inherent to said law. This photograph may be copied, modified, distributed and reproduced, even for commercial purposes, without seeking approval."

The reason given to delete it was "No permission since 25 February 2024".[10]

However, when I uploaded the image, I included in the description the following text:

The Spanish-language caption states: "Estilo de Vida magazine and Manuel Alexiades dedicate this photograph to the public domain by waiving their rights to this photograph worldwide under copyright law and all neighboring legal rights under copyright law. You can copy, modify, distribute, and reproduce this photograph, even for commercial purposes, without asking permission."

I should also note that I was never contacted before the deletion.

Even though I've already restored the file, as the licensing seems clear and okay to me, I've decided to reopen the discussion temporarily in order to get a second opinion, as after the file was restored a very clearly promotional article surfaced on the Spanish Wikipedia and while the file may be free, the person or someone other related to them is using it as advertising. --Bedivere (talk) 02:05, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
It's clearly public domain, so the deletion and its reason was wrong. A {{LicenseReview}} may not hurt. Scope is a more interesting question -- sounds like the individual is a long-term general manager of a Hilton hotel in Cartagena, and not sure there is much about him out there other than the hotel's publicity. But that may be hard for us to judge -- even if the mentioned article is promotional, the person or photo could be in scope, as long as there is some realistic use for it. Could it be in scope for something like Wikivoyage? I'm borderline on the question, but that may argue to lean  Keep unless someone closer to that subject has a better scope argument for removal. Carl Lindberg (talk) 01:31, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
You bring a good point when you say “even if the mentioned article is promotional, the person or photo could be in scope”. So one thing would be to deal with the photo and another with the article as separate? If this is the case I would say  Keep. Normally a photo like this I would catalogue under the category of People of (Place) but this pic is too specific. Miguel Angel Omaña Rojas (talk) 10:37, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

Images of buildings in Travagliato

Hi, I'm requesting the undeletion of the images deleted in this DR for the following reasons:

These images should depict the civic tower, the city hall, the city library and the graveyard of this small town. The library was originally an hospital, built in 1823 by en:Rodolfo Vantini (see), in those same years it was built also the graveyeard by the same architect. Rodolfo Vantini died in 1856 (see), so his copyright expired in 1926. The city hall was built during the Venetian period (before 1796) see, whereas the date of the construction of the city tower is unknown, but we know that it was already there by 1860 see. Unless I'm missing something, all these images should fall therefore under PD-old.

The elementary schools of Travagliato were built in the 1920's (see) and should be therefore PD-ItalyGov since the 1940's (way before the URAA date). There is a new wing built recently which is still under copyright, I don't know what it's in the image, if it's depicted the old part then I'm requesting the undeletion.

The nursing home is the most recent building, built in 1982 for a private non-profit entity. Therefore it could be still under copyright, at least in the US, but judging from what I see from google street view it looks like an anonymous building by an unknown architect without particular features. Unless I'm missing something it looks like a functional building under ToO to me.--Friniate (talk) 16:19, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

All buildings that were completed before December 1, 1990 are not copyrighted in the US, see COM:FOP US. --Rosenzweig τ 21:08, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
Photos of buildings (visible from a public place) are not derivative works of the architectural copyright in the U.S., so the U.S. copyright status of the buildings is immaterial when it comes to the photographs. Carl Lindberg (talk) 04:13, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

 Support As noted at Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by TD Lemmons1, the issue here is not copyright of the buildings but the license for the photographs themselves. Since they were originally uploaded as {{PD-Self}}, I think we can restore them with that license. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 14:07, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

It's used at wikt:Wiktionary:Grease pit/2014/September, an almost 10-year-old discussion archive. The image illustrated a problem I was having with display at the time, which has long since been solved. There was no reason for the file to be moved from Wiktionary to Commons in the first place, and certainly no reason to keep it here. It can't possibly be used by any other Wikimedia project. —Mahāgaja · talk 15:01, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
It's perfectly fine to have screenshots and it's actually totally plausible to discuss how Burmese script characters have been increasingly likely to be properly rendered. Screenshots of software not working are actually very valuable. That said, en.wikt has a clear consensus to not host files, so it should not be hosted there. And either way, the deletion process was not folowed here. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 11:27, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

File:I-MN-Mantova24.JPG

Hi, I'm requesting the undeletions of File:I-MN-Mantova24.JPG, since it is very likely that it depicts it:Palazzo Andreani, built in 1914 and whose architect was Aldo Andreani. The image was deleted in this DR in 2012 since it allegedly infringed the author's copyright (Andreani died in 1971), but as clarified in this other DR in 2023, the palace was commissioned by the local Commerce Chamber (see here), which in Italy is a public entity (see here) and should therefore fall under Template:PD-ItalyGov since 1934 (way before the URAA, so no issue with US copyright). This disclaimer put in the category in October 2023 by an IP should be removed accordingly.--Friniate (talk) 13:34, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

 Support The photo does indeed show the Palazzo Andreani, and since buildings apparently really can be official works in Italy, that building, if commissioned by a public entity as described, would be in the public domain there by now. In the US as well, because all buildings that were completed before December 1, 1990 were not copyrighted in the US. Even after that date, photos of buildings are not derivative works of the copyrighted building and therefore ok for Commons (see {{FoP-US}}). --Rosenzweig τ 14:46, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

También señalé las notables diferencias entre mi dibujo y las fotografías de las que el dibujo supuestamente habrían derivado. Mi presentación no tuvo discusión alguna. Sin embargo, el 20 de febrero pasado el Admin decidió su eliminación sin explicación. Le escribí el 7 de marzo (User talk:The Squirrel Conspiracy - Wikimedia Commons) solicitando la revisión, pero hasta ahora el Admin hizo caso omiso de mi mensaje.

Hallo @Jan Hue, Du hast auf Deine Mail am 25. Januar auch eine Antwort bekommen, in der drin steht, was Du machen musst. Du hast dann nicht mehr reagiert. Kannst Du mit der Antwort etwas anfangen?
Kurz gesagt: Wir brauchen die Freigabe für die freie Lizenz direkt entweder vom Urheber oder vom Inhaber der Nutzungsrechte.
Du kannst den Text auch ausdrucken, unterschreiben lassen und dann digitalisiert als Antwort auf die Mail zurück senden - vielleicht ist das in diesem Fall der einfachste Weg.
Unter de:WP:Bildfreigabe findet Du den Text, der unterschrieben werden muss.
Viele Grüße, Emha (talk) 19:16, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
Hallo Emha,
vielen Dank für deine Antwort. Ich persönlich hatte nicht mehr auf die Mail reagiert, da ich den Copyright-Inhaber direkt eine Mail an "Permissions - Wikimedia Commons" schicken lassen habe. Auf eine erneute Mail hat er gestern auch eine Antwort erhalten.
Wird der Artikel denn online gestellt sobald das Bild wieder frei gegeben wird oder ist der Artikel auch noch in Prüfung? Und kannst du mir eine ganz grobe Zeitspanne nennen, in der ähnliche Artikel normalerweise freigeschaltet werden?

  • So if the admin was right (because all admins are unimpeachable), you're not even going to try to justify the claimed deletion reason as it was so clearly wrong, but you're just going to cast around and see if you can find some other reason to delete these?
These should never have been anywhere near speedy deletion, the rationale was nonsense, requiring VRT for these out of nowhere is just yet more bullying and gatekeeping, and if anything they should have gone to DR. But this was an admin who seems to see speedy deletion as a convenient route to delete whatever they like, without having to justify it. That's never something we should then try to find excuses for.

Question for UnDR regular editors User:Yann, User:Ankry, User:Thuresson, User:Rosenzweig, User:Abzeronow

I don't know the process for archiving closed requests, but it seems to have broken down recently. We have closed requests here that were closed on March 9. Is there any reason that one of us should not simply archive them? .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:34, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

No, there is not. In fact Thuresson, Yann, Ankry, myself (and possibly others?) have already done it over the last few months. --Rosenzweig τ 13:36, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

File:Bruna Rossi, Palazzo Comunale Montecatini Terme, La bellezza è di casa, 7.jpg

Hi, I'm requesting the undeletion of the file File:Bruna Rossi, Palazzo Comunale Montecatini Terme, La bellezza è di casa, 7.jpg, deleted in 2022 in this DR for allegedly violating the copyright of the author, en:Galileo Chini (1873-1956). The image represents the inner decorations of the city hall of Montecatini Terme, commissioned by the municipality of Montecatini in 1911 and finished between 1913 and 1920 (the decorations by Chini were realised between 1918 and 1919), see here and here. It falls therefore under Template:PD-ItalyGov since 1939 (way before the URAA, so no issue with US copyright).--Friniate (talk) 13:42, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

File:Epal tarpaulin sample.png

The image was deleted under the vague rationale "Copyright violation, see Commons:Licensing". I suspect that the derivative AI-generated image of the person in the file was the offending image if there was indeed a copyright violation. If yes, I would at least want to removed the offending material from the file, I no longer have a copy of the file myself. The other elements including the fictitious seal and emblem are own work.Hariboneagle927 (talk) 14:58, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

Do you even have access to the file? It is basically a mock of a local propaganda poster for a mayor-governor level politician. It was created so that it would not put WP:UNDUE negative focus on a particular politician for the Epal (politics) article from Town A rather than Town B. Do you see what the purpose of the file is? It is for BLP issues. While for example File:0041jfSan Miguel Ildefonso Bulacan Welcome arch sign Roadsfvf 35.jpg exist, do we use that because that's one of the free files available at commons? Congresswoman Lorna Silverio and town Ildefonso Mayor Carla Galvez-Tan gets to be the unlucky people to get featured as the main article just because they happen to have posters available at Commons and not the other hundreds of other Congressmen out there? Do you see where I am going for?Hariboneagle927 (talk) 00:15, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
It is to illustrate an epal poster without giving UNDUE negative focus over an incumbent governor/mayor over hundreds of other local politicians of the same level. Hariboneagle927 (talk) 00:19, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

So just to make it clear the current issue is the file was deleted due to being out of scope and not due to the derivative AI file being deleted due to copyright issues?

Deleted because original image scanned rather than taken from the web. Tineye and Google image search found no entity claiming a copyright. The WMF has also been applying USA case law to images from other countries since National Portrait Gallery and Wikimedia Foundation copyright dispute. USA case law has an image "made public" when it leaves the custody of the creator. --RAN (talk) 20:42, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

These are not American photographs, they are European.

Provide evidence that these are in fact public domain and they can be restored. Abzeronow (talk) 20:46, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
 Oppose Not enough information for us to determine copyright status, possible author status as "unknown" or "anonymous" etc. Even if RAN apparently thinks an unsuccessful web search is enough to declare just about anything to be anonymous / by a legally "unknown" author etc. --Rosenzweig τ 20:10, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
 Info For anonymous works we need a publication that is 70/95 tears old per EU/US copyright law. Creation date is irrelevant in most cases. Ankry (talk) 14:43, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
 Comment IMO these should be considered UK works by private photographers unless evidence of the opposite. Why pictures in the UK would be first published in Poland? So even if these were published at the time, and probably in the public domain in UK or Poland, they are probably still under a copyright in USA. Yann (talk) 11:15, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
And why would they be UK works by private photographers? Since the uploader didn't bother to describe sources, authors and circumstances for the photos, that is purely speculative. --Rosenzweig τ 13:08, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
I mean "private" in opposition to "official" by the UK government. These were taken in UK, so that the most likely scenario. I don't really advocate undeletion. In the absence of permission, there are 2 scenarios claimed by RAN which would allow Commons to host these files: UK government works or first published in Poland.

I don't know what's hard to understand about that. I should be able to use them then. I worked for 10 hours to make a very neutral article. I uploaded the article to draft and now the images are gone. I need these images back please. I hope the article gets accepted.

 Oppose As a general rule, the subject does not have the right to freely license images of himself. That right belongs to the photographer and while photographers may license the use of images for the subject's publicity, they very rarely allow the subject to freely license them as required here. In order for them to restored here, the actual photographer must provide a free license using VRT or someone else must provide such a free license together with satisfactory written evidence that they have the right to freely license the images.

I also note that some of these were deleted as personal images of non-contributors. The WP article Adil Raja was deleted on 12 February 2024 for lack of notability. User:WarriorYt43 has recreated the article as Draft:Adil Raja. Given the previous action, it seems unlikely that the second try will be kept, particularly because at User:WarriorYt43 they have declared a conflict of interest on the article. .     Jim . . .

File:John Morgan, 6th Baron Tredegar.jpg

Good Evening, Wikipedia Users.

I have recently created an article on John Morgan, 6th Baron Tredegar, which is currently waiting for review. On my page, I have inserted an "Info-box" on which I added a portrait of John Morgan. The file name of this can be found in the subject title.

This image has been deleted from my page, and from the Wikipedia Commons area, for "copyright violation". This has previously happened because I selected the incorrect type of copyright when uploading the image to the Wikipedia Commons. After the first deletion, I re-uploaded the image, having consulted the Wikipedia Copyright Guide.

Upon my second attempt, I made sure to include all details accurately, and filed the image under "Share-alike, Creative Commons 4.0", believing this to be correct.

I would like to request the undeletion of the aforementioned image, as I have correctly filled in all information correctly, with possible acceptation of the copyright status. It would be greatly appreciated if someone could guide me as to the correct copyright status so that I can re upload the image.

For reference, I have included all information about the image below.

Do you mean the article on John Morgan, 6th Baron Tredegar? It's possible this might meet the non-free criteria on English Wikipedia if there is no freely licensed image of him. Although keep in mind that articles on English Wikipedia do not require images to be approved (and Jim's advice above would get it restored on Commons). @Jmabel: Abzeronow (talk) 18:02, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi, I'm requesting the undeletion of Image:Castro Pretorio - teatro d Opera facciata piacentini 1010030.JPG (deleted in 2013 in this DR) and Image:Roma teatro opera.jpg (deleted in 2013 in this DR). The images should depict the facade of the en:Teatro dell'Opera di Roma. The theatre was built by a private entrepreneur in 1880 (the architect was en:Achille Sfondrini, who died in 1900 and is therefore already in PD-old), but in 1926 it was bought by the Municipality of Rome, which commissioned to en:Marcello Piacentini the renovation of the facade (see here).

File:AlexandriaFlag.svg

Please restore the following pages:

Reason: Yes, I did get the base flag from https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/us-mnalx.html, however, on that website it is uploaded as 359 x 216 pixel gif file. I recreated the image as an SVG in Inkscape and the exact shapes are not perfect. Therefore it is my work. Bradinator33 (talk) 14:11, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

These are always hard. There is an image of an actual flag here; you would have to identify expression present in the crwflags version which is *not* in the real flag, but which does end up in the .svg, to actually be derivative of the crwflags image. The crwflags image is not a pure creation of that author. I can't see the deleted image, but my guess is that is unlikely. The thornier question is does the town own a copyright over the particular graphic depiction in the flag. If the exact design is part of a law, then probably not (PD-EdictGov). If the flag was done in the 1980s, probably not (published without notice). Normally we have allowed third-party renditions of government flags, and just try to avoid copying exact drawings made by others (or close renditions that are obviously derivative of a particular drawing). There is still some gray area of course, but those may just be theoretical doubts. I may lean  Support, though without seeing if there is something particular about the SVG and the crwflags version. Carl Lindberg (talk) 15:08, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
In the CRW flags version, it is clear that the blue color of the boat is more purple, it also seems as though the inner ring (the one surrounding the logo) is thinner than in that of the image. Bradinator33 (talk) 18:03, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
 Info Temporarily undeleted for the purposes of this discussion. —RP88 (talk) 19:10, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
I think we need more information on when the city created the flag. If before March 1989, it is probably public domain. If afterwards, the flag is still copyrighted by the city. The flag seems a little too close to the crwflags version for comfort, the lettering of Alexandria, Minnesota is different but the seal looks practically identical for example the bottom of the heart is the same as the crwflags version while the real flag has a pointed bottom. Abzeronow (talk) 19:51, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
Looking at them, there are some small details which does suggest the SVG was traced from the CRW image, but the differences between that and the original are so slight I'm not sure there really is a copyright on them (such as the shape of letters or position of commas). The inner ring being a thicker blue in the real flag and a thinner black in the two drawings is another indicator. But... not sure those differences are separate copyrightable expression for the CRW image in the first place, just very minor variations on the actual flag. As for the origin of the flag, reading the crwflags page it seems it may be a one-off design -- something donated to the City Hall in the "1980s or 1990s" which of course straddles the date we care about. It says a "similar logo" was used by their chamber of commerce, so some of the design may have predated the flag. That all sounds murky. If there is an official flag, not sure we should be disallowing original drawings of it. If a state chooses a new flag, do we bar *any* drawing of it from Commons? That seems excessive. Those public symbols do end up having something of a special status, and certainly anything in law which makes it official would be PD. One-off flags like this may be slightly odd situations though, especially if not actually enshrined in law but just used in practice. All sorts of theoretical doubts can exist around stuff like this, but not sure they rise to significant doubts. So I'd probably still lean support, though any tweaks to bring it closer to the actual flag would be a good idea. Carl Lindberg (talk) 21:10, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

Only the older revision of this file needed to be deleted, not the whole thing. @Bedivere said that the cropped version was fine, the image is unused and so out of scope. — but being used is not a requirement for photos on Commons. It is for fair-use photos, but this isn't claiming fair use, it's claiming that the cropped version doesn't include enough of the mural to be copying the mural artwork. Sam Wilson 07:16, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

 Oppose The cropped version shows approximately the lower half of the mural. That's far more than might be allowed by de minimis. Remember that a single paragraph from a thousand page novel will have the novel's copyright. The same reasoning applies to art works, particularly when they are the only interesting thing in the image. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:59, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

 Oppose I agree with Jim, cropped version still has too much of the mural to be de minimis. Abzeronow (talk) 16:37, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
Okay, no worries. Thanks for looking into it though! Sam Wilson 09:28, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

Images of people who were born and died in Brazil, yet deleted because it was not proved that the images were taken in Brazil. We use Occam's Razor, the most simple explanation is usually correct. Before gps metadata in images or being photographed at the recognizable location, we have used the simplest explanation as the copyright jurisdiction for images. All images in the Brazil category are held to the same Burden of Proof. --RAN (talk) 21:52, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

 Oppose We need a source that states these were taken by a Brazilian photographer or first published in Brazil. Occam's Razor is useful but we still require sources. Abzeronow (talk) 23:58, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

File:Tercer moviment Simfonia 8 Xostakóvitx - Vents.png

Also:

I am writing to appeal the deletion of a file on Commons titled "[File:Tema del 5è moviment de la Simfonia núm. 8 de Dmitri Xostakóvitx.png]" which was created and edited by myself. The file was removed due to a copyright violation, however, I would like to emphasize that the content of the file is entirely original and does not infringe upon any copyright laws.

The file in question was solely crafted by me, and its contents were generated without utilizing any copyrighted material or violating any existing intellectual property rights. As the creator and owner of the file, I can confirm that it was produced with full adherence to the guidelines and policies outlined by Commons.

I kindly request the restoration of the aforementioned file to its original location on Commons, as its removal was based on a misunderstanding of its origin and content. I am willing to provide any additional information or clarification necessary to facilitate the reinstatement process.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to a favorable resolution to restore the file promptly.

 Oppose All of the cited images show excerpts from the copyrighted 8th Symphony (1943) of Dmitri Shostakovich (1906-1975) which will be under copyright in Russia until 1/1/2046 and in the USA until 1/1/2039. The assertion that somehow the uploader's recreation of the excerpts from the symphony are free of copyright has no basis in law or Commons policy. .     Jim . . .
