This category seems to exist for the purpose of promoting a photographer, who may not be notable. Jamie7687 (talk) 12:16, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
- Most Commons users are not notable, either. However many of them have personal categories... 191.126.166.100 12:24, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
- It is possible that I have misunderstood Commons policies regarding scope and promotion. For this case, if two photographs of a person and two 608x1080 videos by a person are uploaded to Wikidata, should that person have their own personal category in the main space, with a subcategory also named after them, even if they are not otherwise notable and these uploads may have been intended for promotion of that person? I would have thought not, but I recognize that I could be mistaken. Jamie7687 (talk) 13:33, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
- I suppose I should clarify that I am proposing deletion of the category. I do not see evidence that the photographer herself is notable. I think the two promotional shots within it, and its subcategory (though not the nature videos within it), could also be deleted as out-of-scope/promotional, though I have not yet started those discussions.

- A Wikidata item has also been created for Tany Solovey; I requested deletion at d:Wikidata:Requests_for_deletions#Q120548770. Jamie7687 (talk) 12:42, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
Keep Dear Sirs, Tatyana has begun to transfer an archive of her rare photographs (there are many of them) under the CC-BY-SA 2.0 free license. I plan to upload them from Flickr as they are uploaded. — Niklitov (talk) 16:20, 2 September 2023 (UTC)- Delete: F10 + G10 Tehonk (talk) 17:31, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
Comment Unless something was changed very recently, "notability" as defined by a sister project has never been a part of COM:SCOPE except in someone's personal opinion. Given prior comments, wouldn't this be better suited for the "Creator" namespace?RadioKAOS (talk) 00:09, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
Done the "Creator". Thanks! — Niklitov (talk) 05:29, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
- Comment When I originally nominated the Wikidata item for deletion, which is what led to nominating this category, there were only two promotional photos of Solovey; this had been the state of the category for nearly 2 months. The files added since then (i.e. everything except those two photos) may have changed the discussion. If these photos really were released by the photographer under CC-BY-SA and are potentially useful for the purpose of this project (which I think they might be), then this category becomes something more like many of the photographer categories, and less like the non-notable non-contributor promotional category that it looked like a few days ago. I wouldn't contest the closure of this nomination if this category now seems in line with current practice. Jamie7687 (talk) 15:47, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
