Oppose Improper licensing; no documentation that this is public domain in Ireland (hence may be an invalid Commons upload), and the source link returns a 404 error. Durova (talk) 06:36, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Before officially listing this as featured, can we be clear on the licensing? (otherwise I believe it needs to be deleted, sigh.) It seems to be PD in the US. As far as I can tell, the PD status in Ireland depends on whether the current 2000 law (70years after death of author) is retroactive in Ireland. I had a quick look, and it looks like "Constantine P. Curran" died in 1972. _{(oops, forgot to sign comment) --JalalV (talk)}

Info Constantine P. Curran (1880-1972) : not in the public domain yet... --Diligent (talk) 08:51, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

RESULT: => not featured. 
It is clear that the image received enough votes to be featured.
However, we cannot feature images that are not properly licensed.
There is significant doubt about the license here, and this concern 
has not been addressed in any satisfactory way, despite several weeks have passed. 
I decided, knowing that there was no editor willing to close it as "promote",
it is best now to close this nomination as "not featured". 
We can always vote again when we are sure about the license.
