Comment: Roberto Jefferson (2) is here: [1], [2]. The other images are probably somewhere here, but not being able to see them makes everything harder. Template:Agência Brasil applies, as they were produced before 2017. Of course all of them were deleted by A1Cafel. More to come. RodRabelo7 (talk) 00:45, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
Comment I can't find the first one. The third one is at https://memoria.ebc.com.br/agenciabrasil//sites/_agenciabrasil/files/gallery_assist/3/gallery_assist639964/42af5bd2d334a.jpg. The fourth one is https://memoria.ebc.com.br/agenciabrasil//sites/_agenciabrasil/files/gallery_assist/3/gallery_assist639964/42af4065c2a28.jpg The fifth one is https://memoria.ebc.com.br/agenciabrasil//sites/_agenciabrasil/files/gallery_assist/3/gallery_assist639964/42af33bdaf27f.jpg The sixth one is https://memoria.ebc.com.br/agenciabrasil//sites/_agenciabrasil/files/gallery_assist/3/gallery_assist639964/42af33bda2f2c.jpg The seventh one is not there but it's similar to https://memoria.ebc.com.br/agenciabrasil//sites/_agenciabrasil/files/gallery_assist/3/gallery_assist639964/42af4065c785f.jpg from another angle with the same magazine Abzeronow (talk) 15:43, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

Comment: Most of those images, if not all of them, can be found here. For example, 128066 is [3], 128086 is [4], and 127981 is [5]. Template:Agência Brasil is valid, as they were produced before 2017. Also deleted by A1Cafel. RodRabelo7 (talk) 01:50, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
Comment I cannot find the first one, it's a bunch of politicians at a table, some facing right and away from the camera, and some facing left towards the camera. Upper right has a waiter with wine bottles. 127951 is https://memoria.ebc.com.br/agenciabrasil//sites/_agenciabrasil/files/gallery_assist/3/gallery_assist640066/433d4f6d4f803.jpg. 127980 is https://memoria.ebc.com.br/agenciabrasil//sites/_agenciabrasil/files/gallery_assist/3/gallery_assist640066/433d5f3d03f81.jpg 128036 is https://memoria.ebc.com.br/agenciabrasil//sites/_agenciabrasil/files/gallery_assist/3/gallery_assist640066/433d611065566.jpg which has that huge map, but it would appear to fall under FoP-Brazil. 128080 is https://memoria.ebc.com.br/agenciabrasil//sites/_agenciabrasil/files/gallery_assist/3/gallery_assist640066/433d71e089202.jpg. I cannot find the last one, it has four maps laid out in foreground with labelled cards for representatives of Peru, Brasil, and Bolivia with the blue image in background noting date and place of 29 & 30 September 2005 in Brasilia, and multiple languages on it stating it is the First Meeting of the Heads of State of the South American Community of Nations.

- Yes, but which exception applies? Thuresson (talk) 20:44, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
- Per {{PD-UA-exempt}}, it does apply to state symbols of Ukraine, government awards; symbols and signs of government authorities, the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other military formations; symbols of territorial communities; symbols and signs of enterprises, institutions and organizations.

- Per sources, according to the English Wikipedia article, the song "Shche ne vmerla Ukrainy" was adopted as the national anthem by the Verkhovna Rada on 15 January 1992,[1] and the official lyrics were adopted on 6 March 2003 by the Law on the State anthem of Ukraine.[2] But no copyright restrictions applied, because it's a national symbol.2001:4451:824F:B700:38BE:1685:C713:2DB1 08:47, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

Oppose While https://nationalanthemsong.com/ukraine/ukrainian-national-anthem-lyrics/ does say that the national anthem is a "national symbol". there is no evidence that the site is authoritative in any way -- it is not a government site. .

That may be an Alaska state (not federal) government file, but I had already created several of its pages on Wikisource, and I even proofread 3 such pages (30, 31, and 32) and part of another (29). I think that file gives us a good idea of how serious teen births were in Alaska in the 1980s, especially since those were the days before people could go online to find information about birth control or safe sex.
As a reviewer of the E.L. James novel Fifty Shades of Grey wrote on LiveJournal (emphasis mine):
[The protagonist] Anastasia Rose Steele was intended to be an Expy of Bella Swan [protagonist of The Twilight Saga]. James is a Twihard [diehard fan of Twilight]. [...]
If you put Ana Steele in the 1970s to 1980s—in a world where the Internet is confined to scientists and military intelligence, where AOL will not exist for thirteen years, where there is no email, no instant messaging, no in-depth research or casually looking things up online, no banking or doing business online, no Wikipedia—then her sexual ignorance and inability to research both make sense. She might have been able to look up a psychological study on BDSM in a card catalog in that era (I did), but she would have had no opportunity to talk things over with people into the Lifestyle on Fetlife.com. And depending on the college’s library, there might not have been much available about sex. She might have read Everything That You Ever Wanted to Know About Sex But Were Afraid to Ask if it was in the library—though I doubt if she would have dared to take it out—and yet garnered most sexual information from implications and comments in fiction and in magazines.
James was writing Bella Swan through the filter of her own decades-old memories. Ana is a time traveler—and James doesn’t even know it. That may also explain why a lot of the older fans identify so strongly with Ana. She’s the girl they remember being.
See what I mean about how hard it was to find information in those days? And I quote one of the pages I proofread:
[A letter to a newspaper] describes a survey of 70 school friends in which the "vast majority" asked for sex education classes and easier access to birth control.
Sincerely, Shāntián Tàiláng (talk) 16:24, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
Oppose There is no reason given above why this should be restored. It is an Alaskan state government work from August 1989, so it clearly has a copyright.

Selfie deleted under rule F10 - but I am a contributor. Maybe an occasional one, and not so much on English Wikipedia, but a contributor nonetheless - I am not a person with "no constructive global contributions", which is the criterion for that.
It has taken me this long to appeal because I hadn't noticed that stipulation before. I just saw "selfie deleted" in my talk page and assumed all selfies were against the rules.
Greeny908 (talk) 00:36, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

I’m still trying to figure out why exactly this file was deleted… According to this, it is Original do Diário Oficial de 14 de maio de 1888, com a lei 3 353, abolindo a escravidão no Brasil. I cannot see the image, and for some reason these deleted files are the only ones not loading on Wayback Machine, but I’m quite sure a Brazilian Diário Oficial (Government gazette) from 1888 is in the public domain… One may use {{PD-Brazil-Gov}} or {{PD-BR-1935}}, maybe with {{PD-scan}}, but it is certainly in the public domain… This has to be one of Commons most pathetic mass deletions.

- I have just found it on Wayback Machine here. Yep, totally in the public domain… RodRabelo7 (talk) 09:25, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

This was deleted for breaking copywrite rules, although I took this picture. There may have been a misunderstanding due to this picture once being used in a news article online. However, that picture was given to that news outlet to use and I took the picture. I hope that clears it up. Thank you Regera02 (talk) 14:36, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

I had a look at the history of the es.wikipedia article linked in the section "File:Beach-gb1d422857 1920.jpg" above, and it seems that File:AutumnBooks.jpg, which was in use there, was also deleted today in similar circumstances. Finding the source indirectly through a Google cache of the deleted Commons page (we, non-admins, must use little tricks like that), it indicates that the photo was published on Pixabay on 20 December 2017.

This file(s) were deleted for the reason "No permission from Flickr account also assuming the account was fake". However, this is not true. The Flickr photo is free for everyone to use, as indicated on the photo page. The Flickr account is real and belongs to a professional photographer who runs a registered business in Texas with his wife. The account is new but that does not mean it is fake. I uploaded the photo to Commons with the correct source information. I did not contact the deleting administrator because I prefer to avoid confrontation. I think this file should be restored because it complies with the project scope criteria.

I believe the file File:Maryland Fried Chicken logo.svg should be undeleted. It was previously deleted under the reason of CSD G10 (files and pages created as advertisements). However, this image is not an advertisement; the image in question was to be used within OpenStreetMap's Name Suggestion Index, and to be attached to a Wikidata entity representing the brand. The image itself was only vectorized by me; perhaps the ownership/permissions I tagged it with was incorrect? I am not affiliated with Maryland Fried Chicken, nor was I attempting to advertise for them. Apologies for any trouble or misunderstandings, I'm new to using Wikimedia Commons and I'm not too sure of the ropes yet; if there is any information I need to include or change, please let me know!!
--ResistivKai (talk) 16:27, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
- @ResistivKai: Which Wikidata item you mean? Usage outside Wikimedia does not make it in scope. Ankry (talk) 17:59, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
Oppose Maryland Fried Chicken claims copyright in their logo and there is a registered copyright for "Visual Material" which is probably the logo. In my opinion it is probably above the US ToO. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 19:48, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
- Ah, I see. This makes sense, although does this not apply to other logos, say for example the Shell logo? See: File:Shell Service Station.jpg What differs between these two instances? Sorry if I'm missing something, I just want to make sure I'm fully understanding what is and isn't allowed for future reference!! --ResistivKai (talk) 01:13, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
- I wish it were possible to "fully understand" these situations. The question is where the Threshold of Originality (ToO) lies -- is the subject work original enough to qualify for copyright? The question is difficult because the ToO varies widely from country to country and because in many countries there is little or no case law to provide examples on both sides. Even the US, there only a few good examples. COM:ToO shows some of these. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:36, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
- Gotcha, that paints a much better picture, thank you for linking me to that page! So, going forward, is the best approach (in the US, that is) to first search for a copyright entry, and then if there is none search for denied requests of registration to confirm that the visual material in question falls below the ToO? That seems like the most solid approach; I think I'll avoid uploading anything that lies within a grey area without deferring to someone more knowledgeable on the subject.
- Aside from that, I believe this request can be archived, as I agree that the logo is likely outside of the copyright scope of Wikidata. Thank you for all your help and all the useful info!!

My recent deletion request seems to have been misinterpreted; I'm looking to restore the newer version of this file (which had some prominent probably non-de minimis copyrighted text blurred) but keep the first version (which had said text unblurred) deleted. Thanks! Bobamnertiopsis (talk) 12:37, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
Oppose - The whole image is a copyvio (Pixabay license is not acceptable, e.g., "You cannot sell or distribute Content (either in digital or physical form) on a Standalone basis. Standalone means where no creative effort has been applied to the Content and it remains in substantially the same form as it exists on our website")--this is not just an issue of the text on the screen. Эlcobbola talk 12:43, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
Info - @Elcobbola: Pixabay's universal sitewide license was CC-zero for works uploaded before January 9, 2019 (see here and explanation here). As this image was uploaded in 2018, it was distributed under the Zero dedication which is irrevocable like other CC licenses. That it is no longer distributed under that license does not change that is was, meaning the old Zero dedication still applies. Bobamnertiopsis (talk) 12:58, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
- Be that as it may, I agree with Jim below: blurring of the text (the focus of the image) impairs the educational utility. The license review language of "This file, which was originally posted to Pixabay, was reviewed on 28 July 2023 by reviewer Bobamnertiopsis, who confirmed that it was available on Pixabay on that date" (underline added) is a blatant untruth--this is a circumstance that needs to be addressing outside of this UDR. Эlcobbola talk 20:17, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
- This is a good point. Any file reviewed after January 9, 2019, is not correctly reflected by the text of the template, which I imagine was adapted from the standard external license review template. Better template text might read something like "This file, which was originally posted to Pixabay, was reviewed on [date] by reviewer [name], who confirmed that it had been uploaded to Pixabay before 9 January 2019, when the site changed its license from CC-0 to a noncommercial license. Because Creative Commons licenses and dedications are irrevocable, the work may still be distributed under the former CC-0 dedication." Will bring this up later at Template:PBLR.

Oppose I see no reason to restore this image. It shows a tablet with blurred text, with a beach and rocks in the background that are far out of focus. Only the hands holding the tablet are in focus. What possible educational use does it have?
- I also do not understand the explanation above. The file history shows the upload at 16:56, 14 November 2022, long after the Pixabay license change. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:42, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
Comment - Separating the two concerns here: COM:SCOPE (is this image useful?) and the licensing question. If this image were not to be restored on the grounds that it's out of scope then I have no particular qualms with that. All I can say to this point is that is was at the time of its deletion being used in one article, w:es:Bookstagram.
- To the question of license: the source image was uploaded to Pixabay in mid-2018, meaning it was for a period of time licensed under CC-zero. This of course changed in January 2019 when Pixabay updated the sitewide license. The relevant text of Template:Pixabay that I have been interpreting my passing or failing these files on is: "Therefore, media published on Pixabay from 9 January 2019 onwards is not considered to be freely licensed and can't be accepted on Commons. Files uploaded to Commons after this date should be subject to careful license review, verifying that the publication date on Pixabay is prior to 9 January 2019." To my understanding, this suggests that the relevant information is only whether an image was uploaded to Pixabay before the date the site changed its license, rather than the date the image made its way to Commons. The wording of the template suggests that images may be uploaded to Commons at any point, but may be considered properly licensed by our standards only if uploaded to Pixabay pre-January 9, 2019 (i.e., they ever had a CC-zero license applied to them). Bobamnertiopsis (talk) 14:39, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
- I agree with your analysis. If an image was on Pixabay before 9 January 2019 it is CC-0 and Pixabay cannot change that. However, since the image was not uploaded to Commons until 2022, we have no evidence here of that. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 15:44, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
- Apologies, but I'm not sure I understand. The evidence we have is that the image was uploaded to Pixabay prior to 9 January 2019 (per the extant Pixabay source) and the knowledge that at that time the image was distributed under the CC-0 license, as were all files at that time. If Pixabay had allowed users to choose other licenses then we might now be in a more uncertain place, but because they didn't, we can be confident and without ambiguity that the work was licensed as CC-0 and thus the present usage does not contravene the terms of the irrevocable CC-0 dedication.

- We haven't got any other photos of someone using the Kobo eReader, so there's a case to be made for it from that angle. But I'm otherwise fairly agnostic on where this falls in COM:SCOPE. Bobamnertiopsis (talk) 20:15, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

- An amazing question. No, I'm happy for it to stay deleted if there's consensus it's out of scope; I just didn't want it to stay deleted on the Pixabay licensing question grounds. Bobamnertiopsis (talk) 22:16, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

- There are two things to note about its inclusion at Bookstagram. First, it was included there before the text was blurred. I think that was arguably a reasonable educational use. After blurring the text, its use became much less satisfactory. Second, the image was placed in the WP:ES article by its uploader, which means we are putting our judgement against that of the person who created the image. . Jim . . .

The files that I uploaded were public domain. They were deleted for the reason that: " Whatever one's opinions about copyright law, in order to have free licensed material only Commons obeys it stringently."
The opinion about copyright law that I quoted was the opinion of the US Copyright Office. In order to have free licensed material, we need a definition of what is copyrightable and what is not. As the US Copyright Office explains in Circular 33, to be copyrightable a work must contain a sufficient amount of creativity. A schedule, like a recipe, is a list of facts. It has no creativity.
The purpose of copyright is to promote arts and culture. If a schedule causes two passenger trains to collide head-on, the railroad company cannot conceal their negligence by calling "copyright" on the schedule. In the case here, CUNY and Hunter College made the schedule freely available to people who targeted a professor and her students. They cannot now conceal their negligence by calling "copyright" on the schedule.
A schedule is a list of facts. It has no creativity. It is public domain.
And in regard to my strong feelings about this matter: Please understand that Shellyne Rodriguez got shamed in newspapers around the world. So if we accept the decision here, then "copyright" prevents her from repairing her reputation.
Eryk Wdowiak (talk) 03:33, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
Comment from deleting admin: If all the elements can be shown to be PD, I would not object. I note that File:Shellyne's_teaching_schedule.pdf contains not only "a schedule" but also other elements including logos and visuals without credit; see Commons:Derivative works. Generally all elements within a work must be PD for the whole to be PD. I note also that the "author" is rather improbably listed as "City University of New York". Finally it contains a clear statement "Copyright 2022". -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 04:09, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
- A schedule cannot be copyrighted, so the copyright statement is irrelevant. But in regard to the logos and visuals, I see your point. Those can be blurred. If I blur those, would you undelete the files? Eryk Wdowiak (talk) 04:31, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
- Hmm ... You deleted the files quickly. You responded to my undeletion request quickly. But when I propose a way to make sure that all elements are public domain, you're suddenly slow and quiet. Where is your concern for Prof. Rodriguez? You may not have intended to be malicious, but your actions allow others to be malicious towards her. Eryk Wdowiak (talk) 05:22, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
Comment It is customary to wait at least 24 hours before closing an undeletion request unless it's a VRT member requesting undeletion for a file that has permission. I agree that the teaching schedule had logos and visuals that made it needed to be deleted. Also, since upholding copyright law is one of Commons concerns, and the reputation of one former professor is not in Commons concerns, copyright by necessity trumps concerns about reputation or local politics. As for myself, if the matter of copyright is addressed, then I have no issues with the files being restored as they would be in scope. Abzeronow (talk) 16:42, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you. And thank you for understanding. Readers need to see what information was available to the people who wanted to harm Prof. Rodriguez.
- I created a new pair of files in which the the non-free logos and visuals have been blurred out. The remaining information is her teaching and exam schedule, which (being facts) are in the public domain. I have already uploaded them as new files and incorporated them into the article and talk page, so you can go ahead and close this. Thanks again for your help. :-)

Hello. I got a permission from the author to share those photos in 2018. At first, the OTRS team didn't responded me in my request to confirm agreement, although I repeated contact few times. In may, I had repeated it once again and then received reply from @Polimerek: , where he stated that "people which are showed on those photos were not agree to be published". I asked how it is possible, while Wikimedia is not the primary place of publishing them, and I pointed that they are still published in that place (link), but I didn't received next answer. In fact, it is absurd that if the original place didn't unpublish photos, we are doing that, while we have proper formal permission to use them, provided by their author. Thus, I request to undelete them and to confirm permission from author. --Wojsław Brożyna (talk) 19:49, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
- @Nat: , you says in previous request from 2020 that "OTRS cannot accept forwarded permissions or proxy statements for legal reasons", but this is not true. According to the official instruction for the volunteers, the permission could be forwarded (Polish: Ostatecznie możesz takie pozwolenie „forwardować” [opcja „prześlij do” w większości klientów poczty] ze swojego konta na ww. adres) and I forwarded other permission multiple times, all copyrighted works for whom I got permissions were confirmed this way. So please do not mislead other users. --Wojsław Brożyna (talk) 20:05, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
- As a general rule we do not accept forwarded permissions -- not for legal reasons, but simply because there are two many bad actors out there who are perfectly willing to forge a permission. Requiring that the actual author send the permission directly allows, in many cases, the VRT volunteer to match the email address from which the permission came to the author. You clearly have established yourself as an honest person, which makes you an exception. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 15:07, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you for clarification. In Polish instruction is explaned in a way that wasn't maked me aware of that. In that case, I can ask the original copyright holder to re-send this old e-mail to the OTRS team, if it would help to undelete those photos. Wojsław Brożyna (talk) 15:56, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

The postal envelope and stamps are in the public domain in Russia and are free images. The file was deleted because, as I understand it, the user's quibbles about the license.

Files found with Short North Murals
Per the discussion at Commons:Deletion requests/Files found with Short North Murals, several users including myself and @RodRabelo7: identified numerous murals based on Public Domain works, including American Gothic, Cliff Dwellers, Café Terrace at Night, and Mona Lisa. There is insufficient originality in these reproductions of PD paintings, and thus the works labeled as reproductions of these paintings must be undeleted, and should never have been deleted.

Support, per discussion here. RodRabelo7 (talk) 19:52, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
Oppose If one makes as faithful as possible a painted reproduction of a PD work, the reproduction has a new copyright. Until the Bridgeman decision that was true even of a photographic reproduction and even that is not the law in several European countries. Therefore any mural has a copyright until it expires. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 16:59, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
- @Jameslwoodward: Excuse me? What? Can you cite your rationale in U.S. copyright law? Reproductions of PD works need to be distinctive or otherwise they are simply a derivative work. See en:L.H.O.O.Q. as an actually remarkably different version of the Mona Lisa that was nevertheless deemed to be in the Public Domain, as not distinctively different enough. All of these murals apply as well. ɱ (talk) 17:03, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
Comment Where did you get L.H.O.O.Q is PD? You can read the copyright notice of a 1964 replica here. The original from 1919 is PD in the US only because it is pre 1928, but it is still copyrighted in France. Günther Frager (talk) 02:27, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
- Sure, I saw that it is in the Public Domain here. The murals I am discussing above don't even have any changes resembling L.G.O.O.Q., and perhaps it is a bad example. Better might be the recent case over these Andy Warhol prints, which are actually incredibly transformative, yet were still just ruled to be a copyright infringement of the original photographer's rights. Similarly, a painted facsimile of Mona Lisa on a wall still retains whatever copyright status the original holds. ɱ (talk) 02:51, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
- The only Duchamp work we have here (the Fountain) is because it was made in the US and the photograph was also taken and published in the US. The case of Warhol is not that his work is not protected by copyright, but that he infringed the copyright of the original photographer in one but not all of his derivative works. These are two different things: fair use vs. being copyrightable. Moreover, the court opinion doesn't use aesthetics to justify their decision. They argued that both images had the same comercial purpose. Günther Frager (talk) 09:18, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

Again, as I noted above, before the Bridgeman decision even photographs of PD works had a new copyright of their own. It is clear that any painted reproduction of an old master has its own copyright. And, as Günther says, the court decision cited says nothing about the copyright status of Warhol's works, only that they infringed on the originals. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 10:31, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
- Again I ask where you imagined that reproductions of PD artwork hold their own copyright. The article on Threshold of originality even lays out decorative works that aren't unique and creative enough for a copyright, like the Best Western logo. Similarly it mentions Bridgeman, that reproductions of these PD works are ineligible for a new copyright. ɱ (talk) 12:22, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
Oppose The originality needed to ensure copyright protection of derivative works can be pretty low and context dependent. I must point out this non-exact replica of this PD work. The derivative work was copyrighted in 1938 and tested successfully in court [11]. Günther Frager (talk) 15:23, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
- I don't understand why random people are so adamant to delete images when these are old murals of incredibly old paintings that are on a highly-trafficked street and that nobody cares to try to enforce. I incredibly highly doubt these artists would try to stake a copyright claim when they just duplicated these incredibly old paintings. ɱ (talk) 15:27, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
- That line of reasoning is explicitly prohibited by our precautionary principle.
- Bridgeman Art Library v. Corel Corp. decided that photographs of PD works did not have a new copyright. It said nothing about other reproductions. It was important because Bridgeman claimed that its library of photographs of paintings was all covered by copyright. The court decision narrowly decided in favor of Corel, that photographic reproductions of paintings do not have a new copyright. If, until Bridgeman, it was possible to claim copyright in a photograph of an old master, how is it possible that a painted reproduction of an old master does not have a copyright, particularly in cases like this where the artist had to substantially enlarge the work?
- I also note that USCO Circular 40 specifically mentions "Reproductions, such as lithographs, collotypes" as having a copyright. If a lithograph of an old master has a copyright, why do you think a manually created painting of one does not? . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 15:58, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
- Cool it can be 'prohibited' all you like, it's just an awful policy to be overly cautious when the rest of the world is instead overly careless. Why do we cause constant headaches and restrict ourselves when the rest of the internet really couldn't give a damn about copyright? ɱ (talk) 15:35, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
- Again, I suggest you read our precautionary principle which explicitly prohibits your line of reasoning. While it is certainly true that much of the Web runs roughshod over copyright and gets away with it, that is precisely why we work hard to be an island of safety -- a collection of images that can be freely used without fear of repercussions. .

The undeletion discussion in the following section is now closed. Please do not make any edits to this archive.
Good day. I wanted to tell you that the deletion of painting of the past King of Iran is far from freedom of speech as your company and the country that you're living in claim. Because that picture had nothing to do with any illegal or abusive things and the deletion of that picture is actually an insult to the long history of our great country. And I demand you to undelete it if you want to have more users and viewers from our country. Thank you and have a nice day.Gobarn2530 (talk) 15:26, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

Question Who created the painting, when was the painting created and where was it first revealed to the public? Abzeronow (talk) 16:46, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
- Well sir, actually it's not a painting, it's a picture and all I know that this picture was taken in 1942 in Johannesburg in South Africa When His majesty The Reza Shah was in exile. That's all I know. Gobarn2530 (talk) 17:42, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
- The file name is File:Reza Shah painting.jpg . Gobarn2530 (talk) 16:31, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
- OK, fixed the heading. It was deleted at Commons:Deletion requests/File:Reza Shah painting.jpg. What do we know about this? Was it an original work of the uploader, or copied from somewhere? I see a reference in tineye that predated the upload here. If a painting, when was it made? If based on a photo, what do we know about the source photo? It seems as though it was deleted for lack of information, though I can't see the claimed license. It has since been copied to an article at www.discoverwalks.com, but that just says "unknown author". The country of origin is most likely the United States. I see it in a tweet here as well; perhaps it came from the family -- but that means it would be under copyright, so we'd need to find a source with a free license. While uploading it is most likely not illegal, per site policy we only host works which are "free", which is a very particular criteria (https://www.freedomdefined.org) and call a "copyvio" anything which doesn't match that criteria. As such, we need a license for pretty much any modern work, we can't just copy it. Commons does not allow fair use per policy, either -- the work must be "free". So while not illegal, images must satisfy Commons:Licensing in order to be hosted here -- we certainly support free speech, but we do not ignore copyright either. Carl Lindberg (talk) 17:10, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
- Well mister, actually it's not a painting and it's picture and as I said up there, it has taken in Johannesburg, South Africa in 1942 when His majesty was in exile and this picture is publicly published anywhere both in internet and in books and The Royal family published so many pictures like that publicly and furthermore, this picture was taken 81 years ago. Although I don't know about copy right issues so much, but I think that the copyright isn't included in this case. Gobarn2530 (talk) 18:03, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
- South Africa has been part of the Berne Convention since 1928, so works by a human author there are automatically copyrighted for a term of the life of the author plus 50 years. If South Africa is the country of origin, then the author had to have died before 1973 for it to be public domain there, and for the United States, the author would have needed to have died before 1946 because URAA restored copyrights for South Africa on January 1, 1996. And to be precise, it's a photograph of a painting but since in the US, we follow Bridgeman, we're only concerned about the copyright of the painting. So we'd need to know the name of the artist and when they had died. Abzeronow (talk) 19:17, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
- I think that's too hard or even impossible to find the photographer of that picture, and I guess because that picture belongs to Royal family, then it belongs to Iran, not South Africa and the copyright laws of our country will be implemented in this case. In my country, there aren't such copyright laws like the rest of the world, of course there are laws, but it's rare to see that someone obey copyright laws. If you consider it that that picture belongs to our country, there would be no problem for publishing it. Gobarn2530 (talk) 20:15, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
- The Berne country of origin is the country of first publication, not necessarily the most common-sense one. That could well be Iran, but if he was living in South Africa, that is also a possibility. Copyright laws can have some exceedingly long terms, which does make it harder to illustrate even 20th century subjects. A lot may depend on whether the artist is known. If we call it an anonymous painting published 1942 in South Africa it would be OK, or assume an official work commissioned by the Iranian government, it would also be OK. But if it was a South African artist who was known and they lived just four further years, then the copyright may still exist in the U.S. at least. It's difficult without knowing more of the provenance. When we know nothing about a work, we wait 120 years ({{PD-old-assumed}}). This is within that window, so we need to find a good rationale where copyright has expired. We will follow the written law, even if it's largely ignored in practice. If Iran is the country of origin, there is no URAA restoration in the U.S. to worry about at least, but it's a question of where it was published first (and if first published in more than one country within 30 days, it gets very weird). Carl Lindberg (talk) 21:15, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
- Well Mr. Lindberg, as you said up there, if the photographer is anonymous, that's okey to publish it, and there is no information about the photographer across the web or anywhere else, then we can call the photographer anonymous, and I guess the family of that photographer would be happy and satisfied to make it for public domain for the sake of the late King. And in addition to it, there are sites that published that picture publicly, even a famous site like Pinterest ( https://pin.it/zNAVFnF ). Gobarn2530 (talk) 11:14, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
- The image title says it's a painting. If it's a photograph of a painting, the photographic part is basically not relevant (it's just a copy of a painting), so we need to figure the copyright status of the painting itself. If the painting was unsigned, it's probably anonymous, but that's hard to tell. Are there any other images of the original painting? If it's a retouched/enhanced/colorized photo, then the retouching was probably done in modern times, and could well carry its own copyright. "Anonymous" means it was originally published without an author credit, not that the credit has been lost in the meantime. The resolution online makes it hard to see if the painting was signed. If first published in Iran, it's most probably fine. If first published since 1980, the country of origin would almost certainly not be Iran though. I'm on the fence on this one... a portrait done in 1942 seems likely to have been published in Iran at some point between then and 1980. If signed and first published in South Africa, probably not OK, but we don't have evidence for either. Not sure I'm willing to assume a painting is unsigned by the artist, but probably would need some better evidence to assume a country other than Iran as country of origin, and that may be more a theoretical doubt at this point.

- Well, it seems that it leads nowhere. I didn't think that it gets that complicated. These Copyright laws are too excessive and irrational.

- Copyright laws are indeed excessive and have many odd points, but we can't get around them -- the concept of "free" is core to every Wikimedia project, including this one, and the concept is in turn based directly on copyright law. So we follow it to the letter. There is still lots of gray area, where we have to make our best judgements. Some of it is policy (Commons can not rely on "fair use", part of copyright law), but much is the law. See also Commons:Project scope/Precautionary principle. Carl Lindberg (talk) 22:55, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
- It could also be a photo of a painting made after a photo. On the internet, there's a black and white version that shows more of the hands of the subject at the bottom than the image in colour. But the image is not good enough to tell if there's a signature in that part at the bottom of the image or if that version is a photograph. The family might know more information about this image. Gobarn2530 or someone else interested could for example contact the media address mentioned on the website of Farah Diba. That website has a copy of the image in colour. The request for information could link to it. -- Asclepias (talk) 18:37, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

If I try to display by right-clicking the image from the google page, the source website offers me to dowload a copy to my computer, which I didn't do.

- The photograph is fine (thanks Yann) -- South Africa's term is still the old UK term, 50 years from creation, with publication/anonymity not mattering at all.

As the source provided by the uploader does not contain information about free license, we must determine first whether this painting originates from Iran or from US period of Reza Shah.

The information who was the painter may also be crucial. We cannot host images with unclear copyright status. Ankry (talk) 18:35, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reza Shah died in 1944, in South Africa. He was exiled from Iran in 1941, first in Mauritius, then I guess moved to South Africa. Sounds like he was posthumously given an honorary title in 1950 in Iran. Hard to think any portrait of him went unpublished in Iran in all those years.

I believe that this flag is below the threshold of originality. It was created for an American film, and the United States is very demanding when it comes to the threshold of originality (see File:Cyberpunk 2077 logo.svg, which is relatively complex, but was still ruled to be below the TOO). The flag itself features some simple text centered on green and orange stripes. The three stripes are clearly an example of simple geometry (they're literally just colored rectangles) and the text is not complex at all; at the very least, it's definitely less complex than the Cyberpunk logo. There is also a single small green star, which is another example of simple geometry. As such the flag is almost definitely in the public domain. The applicable license tag would be Template:PD-textlogo. Di (they-them) (talk) 06:22, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
OpposeThe Cyberpunk logo is an irrelevant example here -- it consists entirely of letters and numbers, neither of which can have a copyright in the USA. In Commons:Deletion requests/File:Cyberpunk 2077 logo.svg it was kept on that basis without consideration of whether it is above or below the very low ToO in Poland, its country of origin. I agree that the subject logo is a close call in the US, but the PRP requires us to delete close calls. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 16:08, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
Comment I would say that this isn't a "close call" at all. The flag is from an American movie and it is very clearly below the American TOO. Di (they-them) (talk) 16:11, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
- Well, if the glif in the middle can be recognized as consisting purely of Arabic letters, then it is probably PD. Otherwise, it is a "close call" as named by Jim. I cannot read Arabic. Ankry (talk) 19:05, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

File:陳思函宣傳照片.jpg Promotional photo of SeeHan Chen

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.
- @陳凡卉:
- First, on-wiki licensing works only for photos made and copyrighted by the uploader which were never published elsewhere.
- Second, you claimed at upload that you are the photographer, while the above statement suggests that you are not; providing false or incorrect information is serious violation of Wikimedia Commons policies; providing false authorship information is also violation of photographer's moral rights which may be legal issue.
- Third, for any photo published earlier without evidence of free license, the actual copyright holder needs to follow COM:VRT instructions. If the copyright holder is not the photographer, they also need to prove their copyright (eg. providing a copy of the copyright transfer contract to VRT).
Comment @Ankry: The photo is indeed not copied from KKBOX as stated by the requestor, since it is high-resolution with EXIF and the KKBOX version is not; therefore, it doesn't count as "published earlier without evidence of free license". @陳凡卉: Can you please clarify whether you are the photographer or not? -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 15:43, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
- The copyright owner of the photo is not the photographer but SeeHan Chen , and I am her employee, uploading this photo on her behalf.
- What should I do to use this photo on Wikipedia?
- @陳凡卉: Then you will need to send an email to COM:VRT. Do you have a copy of the contract from the photographer agreeing to transfer the copyright to SeeHan Chen? -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 17:52, 9 August 2023 (UTC)

Composition of simple letters and the state coat of arms of Saxony-Anhalt (German state), which is public domain. Bildersindtoll (talk) 09:15, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
Support if someone declares to fix the PD rationale. It is not {{PD-textlogo}}. Ankry (talk) 12:13, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

- I think, rather one of these. Ankry (talk) 17:10, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
- Then I would say that Template:PD-Coa-Germany could fit. What strikes me is that this template is of course totally logical because it is about a public organization. It refers to the "Corporation of public law" (Körperschaften des öffentlichen Rechts) - For example: "Deutschlandradio", "Medizinischer Dienst der Krankenversicherung" or "Industrie- und Handelskammer".
- But there is another very similar form of public organization in Germany: The "Institution of public law" (Anstalt des öffentlichen Rechts) - For example: "Versorgungsanstalt des Bundes und der Länder", "Technisches Hilfswerk" or "Deutsche Nationalbibliothek".
- The only differences are that the Corporation of public law has members and the Institution of public law has users. Legally, both are basically very similar because both serve a public purpose.
- The "Öffentliche Versicherungen Sachsen-Anhalt" is very precise an Institution of public law.

I found this DR after it was closed and I have to admit I haven't seen the deleted pictures, but this DR seems abusive to me because:
- Commons is not censored and some people on that DR clearly have an anti-nudity censorship agenda (NB: some people actually tend to think that nudity in itself is porn, which is not...).
- Commons offers a variety of choice on every subjects : because of the neutral point of view, we may not chose to delete some files just because we already have other files on ant subject. Such arguments are unvalid, we need other reasons (such as bad quality when we already have equivalent files on the same subjects).
- Commons covers a wide range of subjects, including crossed subjects, and while we already have examples of porn or AI-generated images, we have none about AI-generated porn since the deletion of those files (therefore there were not out of scope). Which makes the two previous reasons of deletion even more irrelevant.
There may be good reasons of deletion but these 3 aspects lead me to think there was something wrong in that massive DR. --TwoWings * to talk or not to talk... 22:33, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
Oppose Agree that nudity and sexual related content should not be censored from Commons if realistically within project scope. These look to me not explicit pornographic (sample I looked at are not sexual activity) but rather a series of nude and partly nude "pin up girl" images - one user's personal fantasy. IMO correctly deleted as OOS. -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 00:10, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
Oppose I reviewed a random selection of these, and agree with Infrogmation that these are mere fantasy images that serve no value to the project. — Huntster (t @ c) 00:22, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
- @Infrogmation and Huntster: Can you explain how, mainly because of the rule of neutral POV, we should choose which pin-up images or fantasy images or whatever images we should consider in scope and which ones we should delete? I mean amongst files created by someone not famous. Let me take an example connected to this request: if we want to give people some examples of AI-generated nude images (which is in itself a subject that is not out of scope, as explained above), how do we impartially decide, for instance, that we may keep this file and delete the ones from that DR? Do you see what I mean? --TwoWings * to talk or not to talk... 06:09, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
- I'd say pretty much how we decide on other media are in project scope. As to AI-generated images, I'd generally say that real images would be better to illustrate most topics, as the AI may look on surface aesthetically pleasing but prone to random inaccuracies. (Topics we have no free licensed images of might be good for AI images, presuming they can be individually reviewed for accuracy.) Someone uploading images that are basically "this is an image I made on my computer of my fantasy sexy nude woman who doesn't actually exist" IMO is out of scope in about the same way as people who upload "this is an image I made on my computer of the flag and map of my fantasy country that doesn't actually exist" - non-notable personal fiction. As to the beach nude AI image you link to, if I'd seen a DR for that I would have voted delete. There are many good places online for such personal fantasy images - IMO Commons is not one.

Classic club crest - which exists on Commons for a long time and thousands of times. Bildersindtoll (talk) 09:09, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

- The reason for this is that the Hamburg St. Pauli gymnastics club, from which FC St. Pauli emerged, already uses this city coat of arms in its club emblem. This can be read in the book Fußballwappen by Hardy Grüne (ISBN 978-3-7307-0416-5) Bildersindtoll (talk) 12:33, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

The undeletion request here is because in a recent DR, the apparent non-federal status of an author, was apparently over-ruled in favour of a no-notice situation.
Undeletion of items in the category where this situation might also apply is requested. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 12:58, 18 August 2023 (UTC)

NVIDIA has now freely licensed the logo. Logo: [15] License: [16] The Twitter bird logo was kept in an identical situation. Charcoal feather (talk) 01:16, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
Oppose The license cited above is not acceptable to Commons -- it requires that the 2,500 word text of the license be included with every use.

- 1. That condition is similar to GNU Free Documentation License. Commons:Licensing says that such licenses should indeed generally not be used, but carves out an exception to extracted software logos such as this one.
- 2. If this is unacceptable, should the Twitter-logo be revisited?

Hmm. I agree that the works depicted are all PD. However, they all have a Navidad symbol - a shooting star, I think, which is probably above the ToO. However it is very small, so I think we could claim de minimis. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 18:42, 22 August 2023 (UTC)

1968 stamps of Spain
These two files
were deleted today by @Materialscientist, without prior discussion, as it seems. However last year it was decided to keep them by @Platonides, because these stamps are "clearly based on PD paintings". -- Robert Weemeyer (talk) 07:25, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
Support as this seems to be an ont-of-process deletion. @Materialscientist: can you, please, comment why did you consider the decission is the earlier DR as invalid? Ankry (talk) 15:35, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
Oppose. Stamps based on PD paintings are never simple copies, they are always derivative works that merit additional copyright; they can be kept only if the derivative stamp is out of copyright, which is not the case for a 1968 publication. These two stamps have clear elements of design. Materialscientist (talk) 01:07, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
- They would not "always" merit additional copyright. There are many possibilities (and can vary widely based on country); derivative works are a complex subject such that they are rarely a speedy deletion reason, as criteria F3 says. That criteria is about derivatives of unambiguously non-free works, not where it's derivative of free works, and the derivative part is the only part which may have copyright protection. You may well be right, but these don't sound like a speedy deletion situation, particularly if there was a previous keep in a full discussion. You'd need to bring up arguments which were not presented before, usually. Carl Lindberg (talk) 01:46, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

Restauración archivosFile:Teresa Núñez González.jpg File:Nieves Fernández Rodríguez.jpg borrados
Los mencionados archivos fueron marcados como imágenes marcadas para posible borrado por no contener metadatos y generar dudas sobre la propiedad de los derechos de las mismas. Ambas imágenes son un trabajo propio y tengo todos los derechos sobre las mismas. La primera de ellas es una captura de un video y la segunda un recorte de una fotografía de mayor tamaño que contiene otros elementos. En el tratamiento de las imágenes antes de su subida a Wikimedia parece ser que perdieron los metadatos. Para que pudiesen comprobar la veracidad de estos argumentos subí un clip del video de donde se sacó la primera imagen y la imagen original completa de la segunda imagen y dichos archivos se encuentran en Wikimedia para que puedan hacer las comprobaciones que procedan. Taichi (talk) me sugirió que subiera de nuevo las fotos con metadatos, cosa que hice, Pero las imágenes fueron borradas, entiendo que sin hacer nuevas comprobaciones. Puesto en contacto con él, me indica que solicite la restauración de las mismas a través de esta página. Vuelvo a repetir que soy el propietario de los derechos de autor de ambas imágenes.

The reason for undeletion is that I can provide sufficient rights and sources for the image now.

First of all the background of the book cover image is from public domain https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Head_Odysseus_MAR_Sperlonga.jpg Secondly chiron publications granted a licence for distribution of the final cover image, which is a document that I can provide through email. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Blažek Róbert (talk • contribs) 12:50m 22 August 2023 (UTC)

I really see no reason to keep deleting this file. There is no policy that a small image has to be deleted -- just because it is small-sized -- (unless a larger size has been uploaded with exactly the same motif). Thanks and best greez from Germany, --Mateus2019 (talk) 09:19, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
Oppose While it is certainly true that we keep some small images, they must have an educational purpose. This is so small that all you can read is "Department of State". I don;t see any use for it. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:56, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
Oppose - "There is no policy that a small image has to be deleted" is a strawman, and not genuine. This was not deleted because it is small; it was deleted because it was so small as to be devoid of educational utility. That absolutely is policy. If the image were 4x4 pixels, would we be expected to keep the amorphous blob? At some point a subjective determination needs to be made whether resolution is too small to maintain utility.

In short: The user had been misusing an upload tool by mass uploading thousands of files from flickr without adequate selectivity. You can look at the upload log of the user. The files were simply mass deleted also. Some files may have a potential and it may be ok to request undeletion of some files carefully with an adequate rationale, but not massively, to avoid ending up at the same stake as the original uploader. -- Asclepias (talk) 18:05, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
- That makes sense. In this case, I'd like to just have this one reinstated because the image would fill in a blank license plate at w:Vehicle registration plates of New Brunswick. I hope that's reasonable enough to have this one reinstated. I'm not sure if there are any for different years, but I'm just looking for images to add to the New Brunswick license plate article. B3251 (talk) 18:19, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
- It's certainly reasonable when the files have a use in articles. Even if not in use, I suppose images of license plates can be in scope for Commons, if they're adequately selected as part of series and to avoid copyvios etc. Also, I see that another Commons user in 2022 uploaded or reuploaded with different filenames hundreds of those files [17] from the same flickr account. -- Asclepias (talk) 12:51, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

This is the updated company logo, the current logo on the wiki is outdated and is using the old branding. Since the EG Group takeover, the company logo has changed to meet the updated and modernised vision of the company- A modern food to go company. The new logo is clearly seen on the Cooplands website with the full logo at the top of the navigation bar and the more condensed logo being used in the footer of the website. This is also the branding that the company uses across all of it's new marketing and packaging. I have worked for the company for three years now and the outdated logo is not aligned to the new vision and values of the company.

The file was deleted with the rationale F10 (personal photos by non-contributors) that seems quite off as the person depicted in the photo, Troiano Troiani, is a well-known Italian-Argentine sculptor who died in 1963. Notice that I tagged some of the files of the uploader as copyvios, but I used this particular one to illustrate Troiani's Wikidata entry [18] as I didn't see any problem with it because both Italy and Argentina have a short length of copyright protection for photographs (around 25 years).

Salve. Riguardo al file in oggetto, la fotografia Nino Mancuso, il musicista del quale ho creato una voce ancora in bozza su Wikipedia, ritengo che essa sia stata cancellata ingiustamente. Infatti, come ho avuto modo di spiegare nella discussione, il proprietario di essa è Nino Mancuso, non Città Nuova. Nino Mancuso stesso mi ha fornito una delle copie della suddetta foto, che risulta già nella quarta di copertina di una autobiografia dal titolo Una storia in musica già pubblicata nel luglio 2014 presso il centro stampa di Bisacquino. Nel caso in cui fosse necessario, mi impegno ad allegare una dichiarazione di proprietà fornita dallo stesso Nino Mancuso. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Antonio Contorno (talk • contribs) 22:14, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

Oppose While photographers often license their images to the subject for the subject to use in publicity, it is very rare for photographers to give the subject the right to freely license the image to others. That is so rare that we require proof using VRT.
Also, this image appeared elsewhere with an explicit copyright notice, so policy requires that the actual photographer must send a free license using VRT. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 09:47, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

Reason: The deletion is completely baseless. While the software (the game) is paid and copyrighted, taking a screenshot and sharing it doesn't constitute a copyright violation. Accordingly to Wikipedia's own policy, the screenshot is used for identification of the software in question. Moreover, obviously there is no other "free alternative" and the screenshot is stored on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation. This is considered fair use. Also, Ubisoft (the developer of the game) is supporting taking and sharing online screenshots of their games. To quote from their own policy: "We are happy to have talented, enthusiastic players who talk about our games, share their experiences and create incredible fan content. We love seeing your contributions out there!".

Oppose This is Wikimedia Commons, not English Wikipedia. Commons, unlike enwiki, doesn't accept fair use, and your screenshot is a derivative work of copyrighted software. We cannot host it here. Abzeronow (talk) 02:11, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

During the last few days, I have been corresponding with Mr. Alfred Neumann about the permission for this photograph. He is still in the process of reviewing the permission letter which is from the National Air Photo Library.

Oppose This appears to be a matter for VRT review. Please have a look at the instructions at Commons:VRT. Thuresson (talk) 16:00, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
Done It is customary to extend the grace period on {{Permission received}} so long as the customer is actively engaging; our lack of response should not result in an image being deleted. King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 03:39, 29 August 2023 (UTC)

Please restore the following pages:
- File:Saurabh-bike.jpg (edit · last · history · watch · unwatch · global usage · logs · purge · w · search · links · DR · del · undel · Delinker log)
Reason: Earlier, the image was deleted from Commons because of CSD F10, which states that personal photos by non-contributors should be deleted. As I am a global contributor across multiple Wikipedias with more than 7000+ total edits, the image should be undeleted. Saurabhsaha (talk) 08:11, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
Oppose This is only a blurry blob and OP already has a different photo to use for presentation, File:Saurabh Saha.jpg. Thuresson (talk) 08:39, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
- Although the image is currently blurry, it's worth weighing its context and potential advantages. Abstract images can creatively provoke thought and highlight concepts. If the blurry image connects with the presentation's theme, it might serve as a potent visual tool.
- Why I can't use my own image which neither fall in any copyright violation? Saurabhsaha (talk) 08:51, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
Oppose Aside from the scope question, on which I agree with Thuresson, it was taken from Instagram, where it no longer appears. There was no license review, so we have no information about its copyright status. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 09:41, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
Comment In my opinion, our allowance for personal images is not subject to our usual quality standards; as long as a prolific user wants to use an image on their user page, that is sufficient. @Saurabhsaha: A question on the authorship though. Are you the photographer, the person riding the bike, or neither? -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 18:07, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

이 연애는 불가항력 메인포스터 삭제 취소 요청을 드립니다, 2023년 8월 23일부터 방영중인 수목드라마 이 연애는 불가항력 메인포스터가 인터넷 상에 올라와 있지 않아 포스터를 올렸습니다. 솔직히 저는 드라마 팬의 한 사람으로서 제작사나 방송국 직원은 아닙니다. 하지만 영리를 취한 목적으로 포스터를 올리는 것이 아닙니다. 이 드라마에 대한 정보를 찾기 위해 찾아온 사람들에게 조금이나마 도움이 되고 싶어 올렸을 뿐입니다. 이 점을 감안해주시고 삭제 취소를 요청을 드립니다. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 유블리 (talk • contribs) 15:55, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

- It's simple, California releases government works to the public domain, and Oregon doesn't. Abzeronow (talk) 16:16, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
Oppose - This is not even an undeletion request. If you have a copyright question, it can be posed at Commons:Village pump/Copyright. Notwithstanding that the premise here is w:WP:OTHERSTUFF, how do you come to the belief that a California government work with a {{PD-CA-Gov}} license has any relevance to, or justifies, your concoction of a cc-by-sa 4.0 license for a Oregon government work?

Comment See Commons:Deletion requests/File:Božo Janković.jpg. The file may be the uploader's own scan, but I don't think it's also their own photograph. --Rosenzweig τ 11:36, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
