The portrait was created in Belarus, which means it is covered by the copyright law of Belarus. Where are the US laws? No additional conditions are mentioned in {{PD-Belarus}}. If it were important, US law would be mentioned in every such template. --Чаховіч Уладзіслаў (talk) 16:19, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
"For works first published before 1964, copyright lasts 28 years after publication, and is therefore currently expired unless the owner filed for renewal during the window between 27 and 28 years after publication." The painting was painted in 1953. --Чаховіч Уладзіслаў (talk) 15:00, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
@Jameslwoodward: Liuxinyu comment was about {{PD-Belarus}} template improvement, not about status of the file in this undeletion request. This improvement might let us to avoid discussions as above. I support this change. Ankry (talk) 00:15, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
Ankry, thank you. I was so focused on the UnDR that I misread the comment completely. Most non-US PD templates (including this one) include words such as "You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States." Which ought to be enough warning. We might use something like "Unless this was PD in XXX before 1996, it is probably not PD in the United States." . Jim . . .

It is not private work. It is the national flag that was once used by an entire nation. Delete all flags everywhere since 1962 as well.

If there is a "right to use it" please upload the flag on projects where fair use is permitted. The licencing on Commons is different. All materials can be used anywhere, also commercially and all material can be changed as well in whatever way one would like. Please answer the question of Ankry on top of this thread. If succesfull the file can be undeleted. Would like to see a correct licence as much as you would. Ellywa (talk) 08:13, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
@Paine Ellsworth: Concerning {{PD-Afghanistan}}: as this is not a photo, where it was published before 1.1.1972 (50 years have since the date of original publication) or who is the author of thr flag and when they died? And {{Insignia}} is a warning template, not a copyright status template. Ankry (talk) 16:01, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
Much as the situation is with official seals and coats of arms (COM:Coat of Arms), the pictorial realisation of a flag could indeed be copyrighted.
However, one could presumably redraw it from its definition. I am not sure about the source of the exact realisation under discussion here, so I am not sure what that means for this Undeletion request. Felix QW (talk) 20:45, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
Thus, in order for a work of an international agency to be ineligible for copyright protection, the work would have to come from an individual with a nationality or domiciliary status outside of the 'international copyright fold' (such as Afghanistan)...
This likely means that there is no copyright problem with this flag outside Afghanistan. But per our policy, it should be PD in both: Afghanistan and US. Ankry (talk) 16:01, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
And not even this is still true in general: Afghanistan has by now joined the WTO, the Berne convention and the WIPO, and so it is now very much within the fold. Felix QW (talk) 16:43, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
Question Was the file in question a free rendering of the flag design or a copy taken from elsewhere on the internet? Felix QW (talk) 11:43, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
The license tag used was actually {{PD-self}}, because the SVG file was apparently created by en:User:Orange Tuesday (but first uploaded to Commons on 2009-02-01 by User:Shibo77). The result basically looked like here. The original is apparently here (version of the Internet Archive), and the wreath etc. of the SVG version closely recreate those of the original. So while the SVG version probably has no new copyright of its own, the copyright of the original still exists. --Rosenzweigτ12:16, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
It consisted of the PDPA's Khalq faction's emblem with wheat, a star at the top (representing the five ethnic groups of the nation), the term 'Khalq' in Arabic script in the center, and a subtitle reading 'Saur Revolution ١٣٥٧' and the full name of the state.
I support undeletion if the flag is a free rendering from the original description analogous to the usage in Commons:Coat of Arms.
If it has been taken directly from an image source, then we would have to judge whether the wreath depicted on the flag is sufficiently similar to earlier depictions of the coat of arms of Afghanistan.
I would assume that it would give rise to new copyright, as it seems to have been drawn anew and a new 1978 rendering would have new copyright. But this only holds for the specific rendering, of course. Felix QW (talk) 16:50, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
Support depending on where the SVG came from. Per Commons:Coats of arms, copyright attaches to each individual drawing of something like this, so yes, a privately-drawn version can absolutely have a private copyright. In general, the contents of foreign laws are public domain in the U.S. ({{PD-EdictGov}}) so even if you could argue a copyright on the design (which is almost always described in law), each drawing is usually not a derivative work. I don't think we have ever deleted user-authored flags for this reason -- on the other hand, if we are copying a particular representation off of a government website, we don't do that for similar reasons, since copyright attaches to the specific drawing, and its expression embodied in the specific lines drawn, and not the general design -- each drawing is a separate expression of the same idea. If this was copied from a third-party flag site, there could be an issue, but if self-drawn, it should be fine. Also note that Afghanistan had no copyright law until 2008, and did not join Berne until a few years after that. To be a derivative work, for non-government stuff, you would need to identify a particular drawing that it is derivative of (and if not original, the particular version of the symbol in the upper left was not much older). For governmental stuff where PD-EdictGov comes into play, it's not even that clear. But in general we follow Commons:Coats of arms, and look at the copyright of the particular drawing (which could be a private copyright). Carl Lindberg (talk) 22:36, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
Support It's just a red flag with the emblem of Afghanistan, which is already in the public domain. No copyright infringement whatsoever. --Bedivere (talk) 03:58, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
The general design of the spike of wheat has been an Afghan symbol forever -- seems pretty similar to the one from 1928. There really was nothing copyrightable added to the design in 1978. The question though is where the particular drawing/vectorization of that wheat and ribbon came from, since that is the only copyrightable thing on the entire flag. There is an Afghan document maybe pertaining to that flag archived from moj.gov.af, but that is not a source of the particular vectorization. It should be possible to draw a free version though, and quite possibly this was one. I imagine File:Emblem of Afghanistan (1978-1980).svg is the same drawing. The same incorrect deletion reasoning was used on both, though a PD-Afghanistan tag would not apply, if that is what was there (which sounds like it was). Carl Lindberg (talk) 15:35, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
Done: There is usually no copyright for state symbols. It was not demonstrated that there is a copyright on these files. See Carl Lindberg's arguments above, among others. --Yann (talk) 16:27, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

Reason: this poster was provided by the movie owner himself and there is no point in deleting a film poster as it is gonna be the same image everywhere since it is a poster which is so obvious. please undelete it as soon as possible so this page can get reviewed and posted. thank you Kratosxx (talk) 15:47, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
Oppose This is a good sized photo and has full EXIF, so I would be inclined to believe that it is {{Own}} work as claimed. Against that is the fact that the uploader claimed {{Own}} on File:Далиант Александрович Максимус 2005.jpg (see UnDR below) which is a formal portrait yearbook photo from 2005. That seems very unlikely to actually be own work, which strongly suggests that at a minimum the uploader doesn't understand copyright or the claim of own work and at the worst simply expects to get away with a lie.. Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:49, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
Comment At this point, I will believe the uploader if they explicitly state in words that they are the photographer (instead of simply uploading as {{Own}}, which Jim seems to take too much stock in). Many good-faith users are willing to lie to a form, but not to another person. @Daliant: Are you the photographer of the image? -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠06:50, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
Support. Also support this because the emblems, whether they are seen on the flags or are depicted by themselves as emblems are the main copyright concern. If they are allowed on the flags, then they ought to be allowed on their own, and so undeleted so they may continue to be utilized on all appropriate projects. P. I. Ellsworth, ed.put'r there09:25, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
@BFD1: Please, provide a link to the location where has Doug Nicholson granted the free license permission or ask him to follow VRT instructions. Ankry (talk) 17:13, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
The image was deleted over notability issues, but was in-use at Wikidata. It was also brought up that the image has the possibility it may not be of the person cited, but no evidence was presented. The precautionary principle requires significant doubt, not a theoretical possibility. We face that theoretical possibility with almost every image where we only have a single image of a person from a single source. The dating of the image was questioned, but the person served in the Korean War from 1950 to 1952 and shows him in military uniform. Images are made public when they are transferred from the photographer to the sitter, and require a visible copyright symbol and registration in the copyright database, and then renewal. That is for images up to 1964. See the discussion of United States case law on that very topic. --RAN (talk) 12:59, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
Oppose At https://en.everybodywiki.com/Raymond_T._Wolf we are told that he was a Sergeant in the army. The page includes an image of his gravestone showing his rank which would be hard to fake. I am not an expert on military insignia, but I think this image shows the bars of a Lieutenant. It also doesn't look like the man in the later images on the cited page. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:34, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
Related DR: Commons:Deletion requests/File:Raymond Theodore Wolf (1929-2011) in 1952.jpg. As the uploader is globally blocked for writing fake biographies, there is a significant doubt about the identity of the person depicted. Now there are 2 reasons for this image to be undeleted: 1. A reliable source shows that this is Raymond Theodore Wolf. 2. A reliable source gives the identity and he is a notable person. In this case, this file would be renamed after undeletion. Yann (talk) 19:49, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
Yann, if I am mistaken about the rank insignia (the bar or bars designating a Lieutenant) on the shoulder in this image, then I withdraw my objection. However, unless I am wrong, I do not see how we can accept a photograph of a Lieutenant as being that of a man whose gravestone says that he was a Sergeant.
I understand Yann's comment as saying that their can only be two reasons for undeletion; not that any of the two are currently satisfied. Felix QW (talk) 14:15, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
@Jameslwoodward: Yes, I mean if a reliable source gives another identity, we could keep this file is the person is notable. I am completely cueless about military ranks, so I didn't understand the argument. Yann (talk) 19:43, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
Understood. A US Army Lieutenant wears one or two bars on his shoulder. A Sergeant wears a rank patch on his sleeve. Since a Lieutenant is a higher rank that a Sergeant, if the subject had been a Lieutenant, his grave would have that rank rather than saying "Sergeant" as it does. Since this image appears to be a Lieutenant, he therefore cannot be Raymond Theodore Wolf. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 21:43, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

Oppose As noted in the deletion comment, while the video purports to be CC-BY, the images of the presidents contained within it are unsourced and probably under copyright. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:18, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
Oppose The video contains a number of PD images that can also be found here at Commons. However, the portrait of Aníbal Cavaco Silva can be found here where it does not have a free licence. The other image are also apparently non-free:
When I originally put this picture up, another user put in a deletion request before I could finish putting the licensing information in. I put it in but now the picture has been deleted. The correct licensing is in, so I am requesting undeleting.
Comment Unfortunately, even if it were taken by an Illinois state official in the course of their public duties, this would not qualify for PD-US-GOV because that only applies to works of the federal government. Felix QW (talk) 08:52, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
Ok, I changed the licensing after further investigation as to the correct ones for state government. Licensing
{{cc-by-sa-3.0}}
I will not familiar with Illinois law so I can look for another picture if state government pictures are not free licensing like federal government pictures.
The file is not categorised in relation to the mushroom.
The mushroom is not referenced in the filename.
The mushroom is not referenced in the description.
The mushroom can be removed from the file without making the file useless.
From other contextual clues, the mushroom is not the reason for the creation of the file.
If the mushroom is not considered to be de minimis (and thus under copyright), this file could be transferred to the English Wikipedia, which allows such files under a claim of fair use.
Copyrighted work X (the mushroom) is identifiable and an unavoidable part of the image subject (the uncopyrightable text "Disney Amphibia"), but is not essential to the subject (blacking it out would not make the file useless).
As for de minimis, in order for a copyrighted feature to qualify for de minimis treatment, it would have to be so insignificant that an average viewer would not notice its absence. That's clearly not the case with the mushroom here. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:14, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
Oppose All elements of logos are always intentionally included, so de minimis is generally not applicable to logos. Context matters; it's not just about the amount of space the copyrighted portion takes up. If instead we had a photo of a garden (which is just as uncopyrightable as the words "Disney Amphibia") where a mushroom sculpture happened to be placed in a tiny portion of the scene, then it would be considered DM. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠17:52, 3 November 2022 (UTC)

Oppose@Wpcpey: This file was deleted on the basis of Commons:Deletion requests/File:2014.10.25 Hong Kong protests Admiralty 19.jpg. The reason for the deletion is that the photo is showing a sculpture which is protected by copyright. The artist possesses the copyright. Per COM:FOP Hong Kong artwork located permanently in the public space can be photographed and published, but that is not the case for temporary work like this. What would be required to undelete the image is contact the artist and obtain their permission. Please follow, if you can, the procedure of COM:VRT. If successful, the image can be undeleted. Regards, Ellywa (talk) 16:49, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
Please see the FOP in Hong Kong, it is not a copyright infringement to make graphic representations, take photographs, or broadcast the images of buildings, sculptures, models for buildings and works of artistic craftsmanship. It also mentions "if the object is permanently situated in a public place or in premises open to the public." This picture fulfil the second requirement and sculpture is OK for FOP in Hong Kong --Wpcpey (talk) 17:38, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
Depends on how you parse that -- I would read it as permanently situated in a public place, or permanently situated in premises open to the public. In other words, the "or" is just adding "premises open to the public" as additional locations to simply "public places". By definition, a public place would be open to the public, so if reading it your way, there wouldn't be any point to have the "permanently placed restriction in public places" part in the law, since those places are also open to the public and would be covered by the second portion. So, I don't think that is the reasonable way to parse the sentence. Carl Lindberg (talk) 17:05, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
Oppose I agree with Carl's parsing of the law. Also note that Hong Kong law is largely based on UK law which includes the same sentence. It is well established here that in the UK, the work must be located permanently. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 20:21, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

Oppose The biographical information above is interesting but entirely irrelevant to the restoration of this image.
Your only deleted image is File:Мануковский В.А..jpg, so I assume that is what you would like restored. The EXIF tells us that the photographer was Kirill Posrednikov and the image appears elsewhere on the Web without a free license. In order for it to be restored here, Kirill Posrednikov, or the actual photographer, must send a free license using VRT. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 14:11, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
Oppose. You uploaded the photo with "source – none" and "author – website". This is not acceptable. Real source and real author are needed. This is 1972 photo, probably the photo is protected with copyright and no evidence against that was presented. The photo was correctly marked as missing permission and correctly deleted a week later, when there was still no permission. Meanwhile you uploaded a new version of the same photo as own work – I do not believe, that you photographed Theo Dutra 50 years ago. I will delete it speedily. Taivo (talk) 11:48, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
Oppose The image is a halftone, almost certainly a newspaper image. The 1972 date means that unless the photographer died before it was published, it will be under copyright in Brazil until 2043 at the very earliest. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 14:52, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
Not done, it is not unjustified to wait 8 days to delete a photo that has been uploaded with the information:
I'm not entirely sure why this file was deleted and I'm new to wikipedia and couldn't find out the reasoning but I see no reason for it to be deleted. It is a public image released by Rangers themselves when my club won our 55th league title and is publicly and freely available to use
I forgot the password to my other account (glasgowrangers55) and had to make this new one, I hope we can get this sorted as I do not believe there is any valid reason for the photo to be deleted. If that was the case then all sportsmen photos would be deleted also? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rangers55Tav (talk • contribs) 12:38, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

Oppose The file description includes:

author=idk
While it is possible that the image is freely licensed, in order for us to verify that, you must show the actual URL of the source. Most of what appears on the Web is copyrighted and not freely licensed. You are free to read it, but not to reuse it in any way. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 14:00, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
Hey,
It is quite hard to pinpoint the exact source originally as to be honest it was probably posted on Twitter but the photo was took from Glasgow Rangers during our 55th title celebrations.
I believe, it is a photoshoot from Rangers winning 55th league title and is publicly available to use and Rangers will have no problems with it being reposted, multiple news outlets have also used it such as Glasgowlive and dailyrecord and has been reposted on Twitter aswell as I have given some examples
If that one is available to use would it be possible to replace the photo with one of those similar ones of him carrying the cup?
@Hungarikusz Firkász: Undeleted. In future, please, mention that you mean just older file versions. However, I doubt if the undeletion brings anything new: the images seem to be identical. Please mark it with an appropriate template. Ankry (talk) 13:01, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
Otro usuario ha vuelto a subir el mismo archivo que a mi me borraron, y en la descripción manifiesta que es 'trabajo propio', y se la han permitido, por lo tanto la mía que es la original debe ser restaurada. El otro usuario está infringiendo el derecho de autor al acreditarse un trabajo que es mío. --AnelGTR (talk) 17:06, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
The image was copyright mislabeled. It just needs relabeling with myself as copyright owner. I said this in a previous discussion, but it was ignored. I am the copyright owner. --Danieltoben (talk) 03:18, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
Oppose. The photo was deleted mostly due to missing educational value. I do not understand, which article the photo can be used in. Taivo (talk) 11:07, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
Oppose Agreed. I see little educational value here.
As for the copyright, the file description says, "This photo was taken after a litter cleanup on train tracks in Durham, North Carolina by Robert Liberatore on November 3rd, 2020. Daniel was filming a Tiktok video and Robert was making a documentary when they met." It's obviously not a selfie, so the claim that you were the photographer using {{Own}} is not correct. The copyright owner is the actual photographer, probably Robert Liberatore. If he has given you a written license allowing you to freely license the image to others, then you are a licensee, but not the copyright owner.

Oppose. This is press/promo photo copied from external site. VRT-permission is needed to restore the photo. Note that permission must come from copyright holder, that means usually from photographer, not from depicted person. Taivo (talk) 11:03, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
Hello there dear managers. I had replaced the link in the file description with the one leading to the website having the free license. Nevertheless, the above file was deleted! How come? I request it to undelete. The reason is legal notice of the website www.kirarudik.com on the same webpage the image was taken from.--Slovolyub (talk) 15:26, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
Oppose The image here was taken from Facebook, where it is not freely licensed. The image at www.kirarudik.com is a much tighter crop than the image here. That site has the following:
"All materials featured on this site are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International. The use of any materials posted on the website is permitted provided you link to https://www.kirarudik.com regardless of full or partial use of materials."
Note that second sentence's qualification of the CC-BY license both invalidates the license and prevents its use here. The required link is, of course, impossible for print use, therefore the image is not available for "any use" as required by Commons policy. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 15:45, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
Hmm. User:elcobbola, User:Yann -- I like your reasoning in the second DR -- if this were really his own work, then why did he upload the blatant copyvio first and this later. However, this is 3,893 × 3,411 pixels and has full EXIF, which is probably not lifted off the web. Maybe the DR deserves more than 18 minutes of consideration - would you consider reopening it? . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 21:27, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
I guess this file should be undeleted, as it's provided by CakePHP project for free use. We can find another types of their logo on the page: https://cakephp.org/trademark
Oppose "Use of Logos: You may not change any Logo except to scale it. This means you may not add decorative elements, change the colors, change the proportions, distort it, add elements, or combine it with other logos." at CakePHP Trademark and Logo Policy. Thuresson (talk) 10:44, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
Oppose Agreed. Commons requires that images be free for any derivative use, which includes "change the colors, change the proportions, distort it, add elements, or combine it". . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:16, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
Support I think. The given wording is their trademark policy, not copyright. They are simply saying the copyright license does not imply any trademark rights waived, which of course is fine. Nothing in there says the logos are not covered by the copyright licenses, if they are indeed shipped with software having that license. Carl Lindberg (talk) 17:09, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
The referenced page, in the first paragraph, has "While our software is available under a free and open source software license, the copyright license does not include an implied right or license to use our trademark." That clearly contradicts the assertion that the logos are freely licensed. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 20:25, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
Not to me -- it says the copyright license does not include an implied right or license to use our trademark. Rather, that implies that there *is* an open source copyright license on it, but just reminding everyone that a free copyright license does not affect trademark rights at all. It is only talking about trademark rights there. Carl Lindberg (talk) 20:31, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
I read it differently. For me, the sentence is using "trademark" as shorthand for "copyrighted logos", so I read it as though it says, "the copyright license does not include an implied right or license to use our copyrighted logos". . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 09:59, 6 November 2022 (UTC)
But the trademarks and the copyrighted logos are the same thing. So if the license does not allow use of their trademarks, then it also does not allow use of their logos. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 14:50, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
Nope. The trademark rights have nothing to do with the copyrights -- those are separate. If something is purely a copyright license, it does not speak at all to the trademark (and vice versa). This is what the {{Trademarked}} template basically says, and we have lots of examples of trademarked logos which are also released under a free copyright license (say File:Apache Feather Logo.svg). It's certainly possible for a copyright license to exclude trademarked items from its scope -- I guess it's in the way you read that. However, they talk about using the trademark, which to me means exercising trademark rights, while the copyright license still covers the copyright aspects. The entire page is about their trademark policy; it is not the copyright policy itself. The exclusion would have to be with the distribution itself; if there is a copyright license with that distribution which does not exclude certain files, then you can't change that with a couple of sentences on a different website. In the end, the page in question seems to be purely a trademark license/policy, which speaks nothing to the copyright at all. Carl Lindberg (talk) 05:35, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
That all said, I can't see the source for this image. If it was not part of a distribution with a free license, then not sure it is licensed that way. The website itself doesn't come with a free license, I don't think, so the fact that the related software is free doesn't necessarily matter -- was this taken from a distribution which specifies a free license? Carl Lindberg (talk) 15:06, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
I fully understand the difference between a trademark and a copyright. Again, they say "While our software is available under a free and open source software license, the copyright license does not include an implied right or license to use our trademark" which says to me rather clearly that the software is freely copyright licensed, but none of their various trademarks are. That sentence would be unnecessary if they were permitting copyright use of the trademarked logos because the copyright license for the software could not permit anyone to use the trademarks in a way that would infringe on the trademark.
Anyway, the point is moot. The source of the image is cakephp.org which is clearly marked:
That page is not the copyright license -- it's a trademark policy. If the logo was distributed elsewhere with a free copyright license, that page would have no bearing. Again, I don't read "trademark" as meaning the graphic work itself, I read as meaning "trademark rights", since that is the subject of the page. But yes, if the only source for the logo is the website, then I don't see a free license in the first place for it. Carl Lindberg (talk) 19:04, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
Oppose@Accountsunsun: You claimed that you were photographer who made this photo. Above you claim something else. Providing false or incorrect information is serious violation of Wikimedia Commons policy. Also, {{Own}} authorship declaration cannot be used for photos published elsewhere before being uploaded here. See VRT for the right licensing process. Ankry (talk) 01:00, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
Probably in this case, we may partialy restore this file after tailor works? i.e. temp. technical restore it, download it, cut out (by any possible methods) the violation parts, re-upload it and revision delete the original one? As this title is merely describing a building for me which may suitable for {{FoP-Japan}}. --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 07:33, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
Oppose There is a sculpture square in the middle of the image, so it infringes on the sculptor's copyright, but that's not the issue here. Tineye found it elsewhere on the Web without a free license, so we can't keep it even if we could deal with the sculpture. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:39, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
At the time when the object was situated at public place, it was permanently placed by the creator. Unfortunately it was removed by the government when they cleaned up the road. Once 'permanently situated' is established, how much time the object stayed is no longer a consideration--Wpcpey (talk) 17:52, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
Oppose You made a similar request for this image three days ago which has just been closed as "not done". While the sculptor may have wished that the sculpture remain permanently in place, his choice of location made it inevitable that it would be swiftly removed. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 18:56, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
Per the second sentence there, "But if it was clear from the beginning that it would be left there only, say, for three years and then be moved to a museum, then the placement was not "permanent", it's not permanent. It was clear when erected that the authorities would take it down in a short time. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:30, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
Support It would seem that it was in place for the "natural lifetime" of the work. It may have been known the government would take it down at some unknown time, even if that was not long in the future (given that it was a protest work) but that is different than the intent of the artist. I would guess the government destroyed it but the only reports I see are whereabouts unknown. An illegal street painting may be removed relatively quickly, and predictably, but that is still permanent by the guidelines here. Carl Lindberg (talk) 14:54, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
Oppose - This statue has appeared in several different locations (e.g., [3], [4]. etc.). This mobility is contrary to the notion of permanent installation. Эlcobbolatalk16:17, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
Reason: http://runeberg.org/admin/copyright.html Project Runeberg publishes electronic editions of Nordic literature. In most cases, this means literature by Nordic authors who died more than 70 years ago.
When one of Project Runeberg's editions is covered by copyright, a text of warning appears at the top of each page together with the copyright symbol, the letter C in a ring. Deutschedigitale (talk) 11:01, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
Info Deleted due to lack of copyright status template. Please, suggest one (covering local and US copyright status) in order to proceed. Ankry (talk) 13:11, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
The file was deleted for the reason that Superman is a copyrighted character. However, the image simply depicts actors in costume, and it has been established on Commons multiple times that images of people in costume do not violate character copyright. This is why we have so many cosplay images. Per COM:COSTUME, "Present consensus is that "files that merely show people cosplaying" are acceptable.". Although these are not "cosplays", they are actors in character costumes, so the same logic should apply. The Superman costume especially is clearly below COM:TOO, and could easily be considered ordinary clothing with a logo on the shirt, so COM:CLOTHING may apply; "Images illustrating clothing styles or articles of clothing are normally acceptable.". I believe that this image does not violate character copyright in the same way that any other image of a Batman or Superman costume doesn't. Di (they-them) (talk) 17:08, 10 November 2022 (UTC)
Oppose This is not simple Cosplay -- in both cases, these are images of the actors in costume, presumably taken from copyrighted movies. If the Superman image had been simple Cosplay, your analysis would be correct -- there is nothing copyrightable about clothing because it is utilitarian and I doubt that the S symbol is above the ToO.
Batman is another matter. While most of the costume is utilitarian, the mask and headpiece are not. It is well established here that masks have a copyright.
Also note that we do not generally accept collages containing multiple images unless each of the constituents is on Commons with a free license. Therefore there are four reasons why the image is unacceptable. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 21:35, 10 November 2022 (UTC)
@Jameslwoodward: Both of the constituents are on Commons with a free license, and are in the public domain. The fact that the people in costume are actors does not mean that it is any different than an image of a non-actor in a cosplay. The Batman image is in the public domain, and depicts a person in a costume. Same goes for the Superman image. Neither are taken from copyrighted material. There is no valid reason that they should not be allowed. If the image of Adam West in costume is not allowed, then surely no other image of a Batman costume would be either, but that is not the case. Di (they-them) (talk) 05:44, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

Question Where this series is originally published? If in US, I support, but if UK/Australia... then I oppose (as at least the "D" and "S" are having broken styles). --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 00:27, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
Note, that Amazon is a US company and US TOO is very high. Looking at this US Copyright Office decision I would Support undeletion as the letters in this logo are (in my opinion) not more complex in design that those of Cyberpunk. @Yann: if you disagree, please elaborate which design elements make this logo more complex and copyrighted in your opinion. Ankry (talk) 11:34, 16 October 2022 (UTC)
Well, it seems to me that the design of each letter is not a random pattern, but artistic. There are certainly much more complex that these. See [5]. Yann (talk) 18:56, 16 October 2022 (UTC)
Interesting, this isn't the first chance Yann did judge TOO standards citing unrelated another country one, some days ago they said "Support very simple shape" for a logo from Mainland China company, claiming that that is below TOO per the US one. Should this be a reason I discuss via COM:ANU that whether we should start discussing de-sysop or not? Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 03:13, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
Not done: Per COM:TOO US. This is not a simple logo. It is showing shading and many irregularities in the metallic look. The German version should be deleted as well imho. --Ellywa (talk) 16:05, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
I am not convinced about this decision. How can I dispute this, please? Is there an option that multiple admins have to decide together over it, please. YAOUMFA (talk) 20:40, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
Reopened. There's a major misunderstanding here. Under US law, type faces and typography do not have a copyright. Copyright Basics, USCO Circular one says:
What is Not Protected by Copyright?"
...
titles, names, short phrases, and slogans; familiar symbols or designs; mere variations of typographic ornamentation, lettering...
..."
As this is both a "short phrase" and "typographic ornamentation", it plainly cannot be copyrighted and should be restored.
The question of the German version is a little less clear. I would say that its country of origin is almost certainly the US, but that would be hard to determine with certainty. Also we have:
"in contrast, copyright protection for typefaces is declined by the prevailing case law. Even the catchy logo "ARD-1" did not fulfil the requirements of a personal intellectual creation. Since 1 June 2004 type faces are no longer protected by the Schriftzeichengesetz (law for type faces) but as design patents (see § 61 GeschmMG)." (see Commons:Copyright_rules_by_territory/Germany/en#Signatures, boldface added)
To me, this is much more than "typographic ornamentation". In the link I provided above, it is explained that the logo was casted in a mold. So each letter is in fact a sculpture. Yann (talk) 19:17, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
All letters of the logo are different in shading and shine. You can see this clearly at the first and last R of Rings of PoweR. You can also note it in the German version, all E's are different. My question to Jim (Jameslwoodward). Can this be seen as "variations of typographic ornamentation"? Ellywa (talk) 20:05, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
@Ellywa: Based on this contest, I'm afraid that the WWE logos are also violating TOO US, as they also have their own shadings on "WW", especially the "DX logos" within it. The source Yann cited, screenrant.com, is to me a blogspot-like website, that their contents are easily published without surveying caution-ly, and as I pointed in your DR page, a propaganda website not strongly different from two famous Russian propaganda sites (RT and Sputnik), probably I should discuss this matter via w:WP:RSN, but neverless, I see no strong opinions on that source link cite that this logo "is an artwork with different in shading and shine for each alphabets". --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 02:24, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
From USCO Circular 33 - Works Not Protected by Copyright:
Typeface, Fonts, and Lettering
"Copyright law does not protect typeface or mere variations of typographical ornamentation or lettering. A typeface is a set of letters, numbers, or other characters with repeating design elements that is intended to be used in composing text or other combinations of characters, including calligraphy. Generally, typeface, fonts, and lettering are building blocks of expression that are used to create works of authorship. The Office cannot register a claim to copyright in typeface or mere variations of typographic ornamentation or lettering, regardless of whether the typeface is commonly used or unique. There are some very limited cases where the Office may register some types of typeface, typefont, lettering, or calligraphy. For more information, see chapter 900, section 906.4 of the Compendium. To register copyrightable content, you should describe the surface decoration or other ornamentation and should explain how it is separable from the typeface characters."
I am really surprised by the comments above -- I had thought it was well established here that in the USA, typefaces, no matter how complex, do not have a copyright. As I noted above, they do not appear to have one in Germany either. This is, of course, completely opposite to the law in the UK, where typography has a special copyright status. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 12:39, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
There is obviously a limit where a typeface is only that, and where it becomes a work of art, and is therefore copyrighted. If I carve a simple letter in wood (or any other material, i.e. [6]), there may not be a copyright, but if I make an artistic sculpture of a letter, there is certainly a copyright. As this logo is also a physical object, each letter being different, it is IMO over the line. But IANAL. Regards, Yann (talk) 14:41, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
Without speaking for others, I think it is mostly due to confusion over how this particular corner of copyright law could be so...truly backwards from normal expectations. Where is the line between simply being a letter and being an actual artistic endeavour? Or is it more "This is recognizable as a letter/character, ergo it is not automatically protected"? Gray areas like this serve nothing good. — Huntster (t@c)14:42, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
Works must be individually assessed against relevant definitions and doctrines; appeal to membership in a category (i.e., it's a typeface, thus is not copyrightable) is fatally simplistic and seldom, if ever, appropriate. Verily, one could just as easily say a depicted work is a costume, and thus not copyrightable as a useful article (clothing). Use of the categorisation, however, would not necessarily be descriptive (and is, in fact, demonstrably untrue). So too is the circumstance with this image. While it is true that typefont, lettering, calligraphy, and typographic ornamentation are not generally registrable, that does not consider the conceptual separability doctrine--whether the ornamentation here is separately identifiable as an original work. The Compendium Of U.S. Copyright Office Practices addresses this explicitly:
"There are some very limited cases where the Office may register some types of typeface, typefont, lettering, or calligraphy, such as the following: [...] Typeface ornamentation that is separable from the typeface characters is almost always an add-on to the beginning and/or ending of the characters. To the extent that such flourishes, swirls, vector ornaments, scrollwork, borders and frames, wreaths, and the like represent works of pictorial or graphic authorship in either their individual designs or patterned repetitions, they may be protected by copyright. However, the mere use of text effects (including chalk, popup papercraft, neon, beer glass, spooky-fog, and weathered-and-worn), while potentially separable, is de minimis and not sufficient to support a registration."
I think what many above are perceiving--the metal effect with embossing, pitting/texturing, shadowing effects, fanciful fantasy script, etc.--is what this discussion needs to address. Is that ornamentation a separate work? If so, is it de miminis? Focus on the typeface aspect seems rather to be missing the genuine issue and causing people to talk past each other. Эlcobbolatalk15:02, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
In this case, and as @CeltBrowne: said at this DR that contains highly complex "Elven runes" within it's design, I'm afraid a temporarily restore should be considered to judge the elements actually contained within the deleted one. Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 23:55, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
Yeah, temp. restore is still needed since we may not sure if the contained elements are same or not between two variants, there may have more than language differents.

Copyright info: The flag has an unknown copyright info, but the coat of arms was made in the 1500s and the rest is PD-Shape. CubanoBoi (talk) 01:35, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
Would appear to be a real flag, so deletion reason seems wrong. Per Commons:Coats of arms, the copyright would be for the particular drawing (there can be different drawings of the same arms). If that appears to be user-authored, and not copied from a contemporary website, would seem to be OK. Carl Lindberg (talk) 14:59, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
Hello there
Dear managers, the file : "The route between Koohsangi and Railway Station.jpg" is extract of a old map from 1910s. Then it have more than of it was published +30 years ago (PD-Iran).
Oppose The upload says it is from 1954, not 1910. It is also not clear why it is of educational value. There are many sources for maps of the area that are more complete than this narrow strip. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 15:12, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

Oppose The URL in the description is incorrect since it lacks domain name. The resource is available at youtube.com where it was uploaded in 2021.

Comment If the quality made it look black and white shouldn't the same logo on the top left should be black and white? CubanoBoi (talk) 00:17, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
The flawed rational for deleting these images was that User:Rosenzweig found a person in a 1960 phone book with the same name as the photographer and assumed it was the same person. That is a clue worth exploring, but should not be used as a deletion rationale. Any other deletions using this flawed rationale should be paused. Hanna Kunsch died in 1945 according to reliable sources. --RAN (talk) 22:28, 13 November 2022 (UTC)
Oppose I did not find "a person with the same name", I found "Kunsch, Hanna, Photographin, David-Hilbert-Straße 11". Not in a phone book, but in an address book (directory). Hanna Kunsch is not just the only photographer of that name active in Göttingen (starting in 1917), but also the only person with that name I could find on Ancestry or with Google. There was also a Hanne Kunsch (born 1802 in Hannover), a Hanne Künsch née Hannemann (mother of someone who married in Berlin in 1886), a Hanna Künsch née Jentsch (mother of a child born in Saxony in 1850) and a Hannah E. King Kunsch, who turned out to be actually named Funsch, widow of someone who died in Brooklyn in 1932. That's it, not a common name at all. There is no reasonable doubt that "Kunsch, Hanna, Photographin, David-Hilbert-Straße 11" listed in the 1960 Göttingen address book is the same Hanna Kunsch active as a photographer there since 1917. She is not listed in the next 1962 Göttingen address book btw, so she probably died around that time.
The "reliable sources" declaring her to have died in 1945 (and born in 1872) is exactly one, namely the image catalog of Tübingen University library[7], from where that year was automatically harvested to [8]. Please note that both the German authority file GND [9] as well as the German biography portal [10] list her as still active in 1949, which would be hardly possible if she had already died in 1945. --Rosenzweigτ23:49, 13 November 2022 (UTC)
I think I found her birth register entry, which also has a note about her death. Wilhelmine Friederike Johanne Kunsch, born 1887-03-15 in Berlin to accountant Louis Gustav Adolf Kunsch and his wife Anna Elise Dorothee Kunsch née Bünger, Geburtsregister Berlin II dated 1887-03-18, Nr. 290; died on 1961-03-24, Standesamt Göttingen, Nr. 354/61. You can also find the entry about her death here in the K section of the name index to the 1961 death register at the Göttingen City Archive (Stadtarchiv), page 3, line 13 (the name is written in old-style German Kurrent handwriting): Kunsch, Johanna, --- (which means no religion), nr. 354, died "24. 3." That must be her, Berlin and Göttingen perfectly match the stations of her life known so far, and "Hanna" is therefore a short form of her third name Johanne. So that should resolve that question, her works are still protected in Germany until the end of 2031. --Rosenzweigτ10:23, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
I withdraw my support in light of the new information above. @Rosenzweig: Could you please update the WD entry, so that we can close this, and add a "undelete in 2032" to the DR? Thanks, Yann (talk) 10:32, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
@Yann: Túrelio beat me to it yesterday and has already added "Undelete in 2032" to the DR. I'll update Wikidata later and write here when I'm done. --Rosenzweigτ11:47, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

This was removed by User:INeverCry who has been globally banned for abusing multiple accounts and without evidence of any copyright it violates.

Oppose This is from a 2009 campaign against multiple sclerosis. It is available on the subject's Flickr page but is copyrighted there. Please ask an official representative of "Race to Erase MS" (web site) to verify that this photo is freely licensed using Commons:VRT. Please note that uploader User:Larinha2015 has had approximately 30 photos deleted from Commons, many of them blatant copyright violatons. Thuresson (talk) 17:15, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
Oppose - Nonsense request. 1) INC's sockpuppetry has no bearing on whether or not this image is free (the uploader's history of serial copyright violations, however, does); 2) There is no Flickr source in either the deleted image or at the request here; and 3) If requestor refers to this Flickr image, it is nothing but Flickrwashing. More complete versions appeared on Flickr before that Flickr image (e.g., 9 June 2009--Thuresson's link above is a different image). This is, further, a promotional image by Race to Erase MS and would require evidence of their permission. Эlcobbolatalk17:21, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

I note that the subject has ten entries as a Producer at IMDB, so he is probably in scope. However, the image is very small and has no camera EXIF, so I wonder about the {{Own}} claim. Also note that User:Abaamdigital uploaded the image a second time after it was deleted. If he does that again, he may be banned from Commons. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 14:17, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
Oppose - Whatever the credits at IMDB (which is, like WMF, user contributed and thus equally, if not more so, prone to vanity/self-promotion), a more meaningful test of scope is that both w:Draft:Abraham Mathew and w:Abraham mathew have been deleted as non-notable vanity articles, and the creator (and requestor here) has been blocked for this promotion. Эlcobbolatalk17:41, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

Oppose - 1) The order relates to First Principles Incorporated (FPI); this pdf is, indeed even per you, by Executive Success Programs, Inc. (ESP) Unless there is evidence that the corporate veil was pierced (or ESP is an unincorporated dba, etc.), these are legally separate entities and orders for FPI assets are not orders for ESP assets; 2) The order forfeits intellectual properties to the US Federal Government, not to the void. The federal government can receive and hold copyrights like any other entity. ("[T]he United States Government is not precluded from receiving and holding copyrights transferred to it by assignment, bequest, or otherwise." (17 U.S.C. § 105)).

Oppose It is unlikely that either the subject or her manager have the right to freely license the image as required here. That right belongs to the photographer. Also note that claiming that you were the actual photographer using {{Own}} is a serious violation of Commons rules.
The image can be restored only if either (a) the actual photographer sends a free license using VRT or (b) someone else sends a free license together with a copy of a written license from the actual photographer authorizing them to do so. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 17:14, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
User:サコティオフィシャル, now you have broken our rules twice, once by claiming {{Own}} when you were not the photographer and the second time by uploading this image again out of process. It will be restored if and when the [[VRT[[ message is received, processed, and approved. If you continue to break the rules, you will be blocked from editing on Commons. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:32, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
Oppose This appears to be a studio portrait. Geraldo Vargas Nogueira lived 1913-1972. In order for this to be PD in Brazil, the photographer must have died before 1952. In order for it to be PD in the USA, the photographer must have died before 1927. Since he is obviously older than 14 years (which he would have been in 1927), it is not possible that the image is PD in the USA. It is unlikely that it is PD in Brazil.
You certainly may not falsely claim that you were the photographer -- that would be a serious violation of Commons rules. In order for the image to be restored to Commons, the actual photographer must send a free license using VRT. I recognize that that may not be possible, but many images cannot be kept on Commons because they are copyrighted. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 19:57, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
Also note that User:Hihelloworld claims to have been the photographer for the larger image and User:Moses200202 claims to have been the photographer for the cropped version. Both cannot be true
so it cannot be kept here without a free license from the actual photographer.
Hi, I took this photo and was asked specifically by the person in it to put it as their Wikipedia profile picture. I 100% own any rights to this image. if a moderator felt the need to, I could get them in contact with the person the picture is of to confirm. Thank you. (LeafK1 (talk) 19:22, 16 November 2022 (UTC))
As you can see, the video is of Elisa Jordana. If it's not too much trouble, you can email her with the email provided in her Youtube About section and on her verified social media accounts to confirm we have the official rights to this picture to be used. <personal information deleted> is her email. Thank you. (LeafK1 (talk) 19:20, 16 November 2022 (UTC))
Oppose It is up to you, not other editors, to prove that the image is free for use. Also, please note that claiming that you were the actual photographer as you did by using {{Own}} when you are not the actual photographer, is a serious violation of Commons rules.
The subject does not generally have the right to freely license the image. The image can be restored only if either (a) the actual photographer sends a free license using VRT or (b) someone else sends a free license together with a copy of a written license from the actual photographer authorizing them to do so. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 20:45, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
You can see in the video Эlcobbola linked above that Elisa is her own photographer, on a camera that I helped paid for from an image that I personally made from her stream. She wants it as her Wikipedia profile picture. I don't understand how that picture could ever belong to anyone but her or I. As far as a written license is concerned, I can provide a screenshot of the DM I received from the verified Twitter account of the photographer of this image (same as the subject) asking me to set it as her profile picture. Would that suffice? LeafK1 (talk) 22:53, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
LeafK1, please ask ms Jordana to give her permission for use of the photo with a CC-BY-SA licence. She should closely follow the procedure described on VRT. If successful the photo can be undeleted. Regards, Ellywa (talk) 07:37, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
Oppose Unfortunately, we have no way here of knowing that User:Gaiteirodocarballo is actually Michael Smith. We frequently see imposters who are trying to get interesting images kept on Commons. The easiest way to deal with this is to upload the image using the same file name at full camera resolution with full EXIF. Alternately, you can send a message using VRT if you have an email address or web site that will identify you.. Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 15:50, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
I will do so. It's a cropped image, so I will expand it slightly. This may also serve to distinguish it from other images online. I don't know anything about EXIF but will look into it, presumably the cropped image retains this metadata? Full camera resolution, OK but it will mean a rather large file. Gaiteirodocarballo (talk) 10:54, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
Uploading the file as it came from the camera is good evidence that you were the photographer. You need to do so without cropping or editing. The maximum file size for a single upload is 100MB; larger files, up to 4GB can be uploaded with special procedures, see Commons:Maximum file size. Since it is a 2018 image, I assume to came out of a digital camera. If so, the EXIF will be included.
Having uploaded the original, you can then create File:Dendrolagus mayri wondiwoi mtns 2018 MSmith (cropped).jpg. Please do not reduce the resolution -- Commons much prefers to have as much resolution as possible. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 15:41, 17 November 2022 (UTC)

Please undelete the image that is described in the subject line. George Santos is a Congressman-elect and will be sworn in January 3, 2023.

The person who claimed I took it from some random site on the internet is incorrect.
This has never been published before. Please do not delete it and make rash deletions.
Reason: The files were correctly flagged for deletion as they did not have licensing information, as I could not find licensing information on them. Eventually, I cleared it up and added GPL licenses because the software itself is GPL, but both files were still deleted anyway.
See my user talk page. TheLostProbe (talk) 07:07, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

Oppose Agreed. Although it was once the case in the UK that a person commissioning a portrait owned the copyright thereto, it is not the case there now and has never been the case in the USA. All the professional studio photo and wedding photo contracts I have seen in the USA point this out explicitly. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 19:19, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
At one time we hosted the image above and it was deleted because it had an incorrect license, can someone find it? I would like to see if someone in the image has been misidentified, and the error has been copied elsewhere on the web. I would need it temporarily undeleted so I can examine it in detail and match the people to other images, to determine if there was a misidentification, that can be corrected at Findagrave. It is possible that two people look very similar, but more likely the wrong person was cropped from the image.

Hello. I believe this file was deleted erroneously. I handed in licence information later. The file is a simple text logo, so I added the PD-textlogo template. Since it is a logo of an organization, I included the information that it could be trademarked. I would appreciate if you could have another look into this – it is my first upload, so I could have made a mistake. Thanks! DaReDr (talk) 09:23, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
Oppose First, I note that you claimed you were the actual photographer when you uploaded the work and used {{Own}}. Please be aware that such false claims are a serious violation of Commons rules and can lead to your being banned from Commons. Now you claim something different.
Note also that the subject of the image is very unlikely to have the right to freely license it. That right almost always remains with the actual photographer.

I am the copyright owner and subject of the image that I'm trying to upload of myself and Kevin Dubrow in the Studio circa 1990 to add to the QR history page. I deleted the previous image due to my miss naming the file and also wanting to get into contact with the original photographer, who has since passed away. We paid for the picture to be taken and I am the only living person in the shot (the original photographer being dead now as well)wanting to add it as part of the history as already mentioned within the text of the article, thanks!

Oppose Photos made by people who have passed away is not available for anybody to relicense and claim copyright on. Please read Commons:VRT and contact whoever inherited the photographer's copyright. Thuresson (talk) 00:38, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
Oppose Agreed. THe subject of an image, whether a professional portrait or a snapshot rarely has the right to license it. That right lies with the photographer unless there is a written license singed by the photographer granting the license. Death does not change copyright status except by starting the expiration clock ticking in most countries. The copyright is owned by the photographers heir(s) and they must freely license it using VRT. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 11:02, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
Discussed initially at Commons:Deletion_requests/File:Hans_Niemann_2019-crop.jpg. I understand why this was deleted, however the (c) argument is to my knowledge incorrect, and it seems there is no official Commons policy page about it. Does this need to be resolved in policy, and if so where? Commons should not be adopting a standard of rejecting freely licensed video or stills from them that involve online panels which were cleared and published under a free license by the convener of said panel. Warmly, --SJ+17:40, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
Oppose - Agree with the closure. PRO Chess League took several video streams and aggregated them into a "talking heads" video that it freely licensed. While the PRO Chess League aggregation may have its own copyright due to the selection, arrangement, etc., of elements, it remains a derivative work and does not dissolve the copyrights of the component video steams. This is effectively license laundering and there is no evidence the Niemann stream is the work of PRO Chess League or freely licensed. Эlcobbolatalk17:59, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
The image provided was authorized by the same person.
The image is not only in IMDB but also is a public image shown in all platforms. This picture is considered the official photo of the artist.

Why you want to delete? please do not delete this file.
The file has not been deleted, and as far as I can tell is not currently suggested for deletion either. It was discussed in August as part of a large nomination of many images, but in that discussion a decision was reached not to delete the images unless there are better, specific reasons for deleting them. Felix QW (talk) 08:44, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
please be restored? It seems likely that we have a valid permission per Ticket:2022112510007474. I need to check the images, however, before placing the permission tags.
Although these files were uploaded by a LTA (reason for deletion: Removal of LTA's uploads), they are all already in the public domain because their authors have been dead for a reasonable period of time (between 70 and 100 years). Also, some of them have been published before 1927, like this. 83.61.243.17812:10, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
Hermann Schwarzweber is Ulrich Raabes grandfather and Mr. Raabe is the heirs of the estate of Hermann Schwarzweber. The Photos are private and as Mr. Raabe, the author of the Wikipedia article, is the heirs of the estate, he should have the rights to publish the three pictures. We want to publish the photo again.

This Insignia are constructed by simple graphic and "自" a Japanese literature. So This logo doesn't have copyright. Yours sincerely Ramsal18 (talk) 05:54, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
.. and the process was speedy deletion as copyright violation. Your claim that the CoA consists only of text is clearly false (even if it is partially based on a character glyph). Ankry (talk) 15:16, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
Oppose Given the examples there, the coa like symbol is probably above COM:TOO Japan. Since Jichi Medical University was established in 1972, it most likely also does not qualify for PD-old. --Rosenzweigτ12:03, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
Reason: Haley Maddrey was an intern of the White House during September to December 2018. Image taken by her during that time should also be considered as a work from an employee of the US Government 219.78.190.13909:28, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
Support - The issue of what constitutes an employee in relation to 17 U.S.C. § 101 was addressed in Community for Creative Non-Violence v. Reid, which held that Congress meant "employee" in its "settled, common law sense" and that "the general common law of agency must be relied on". The BLS sets forth a number of tests for an employer-employee relationship, and I think intern in this context qualifies. This, also, would be consistent with the intent of § 105 (for example, "Although the wording of the definition of 'work of the United States Government' differs somewhat from that of the definition of 'work made for hire,' the concepts are intended to be construed in the same way." (House Report No. 94–1476)) Эlcobbolatalk18:19, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
Not quite, PD-USGov is a federal employee performing as part of their duties. Their actual job title need not be photographer. If a photo would be a work for hire of the government -- which would likely be the case if an intern was asked to take photos that day and was provided the camera -- it would be PD-USGov. However, the "courtesy" labelling more suggests it was just a personal photo. The question then, would be if giving it over to the government for official use would basically constitute PD-author status. Most photographers would know the implications of making it part of a PD-USGov photo stream, but I can also see this one having enough doubt to meet COM:PRP. I'm on the fence on this one. Was there any EXIF info to know the camera model? With Google searches, it appears that Alamy once hosted these photos too but I don't see them there now. Carl Lindberg (talk) 18:36, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
Comments have thus far presupposed that this was taken by an intern in the course of their duties. The new premise, that use of "courtesy" implies it was not while performing their duties, is not implausible, but is it not a distinction without a difference? Whether PD-USGov or PD-author, it is PD and can be restored. The source is an official Flickr account maintained by the National Archives and Records Administration where its indicated to be public domain. This would generally be sufficient to reduce doubt below the "significant" standard of PRP. That the NARA is license laundering would need better substantiation than possible implications of use of "courtesy". Эlcobbolatalk19:08, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
I was more replying to Jameslwoodward (was typing at the same time you made your reply). The original DR was more about the "courtesy" meaning it was not PD-USGov; I was trying to rebut the statement that only employees with photographer in their job title would conform to PD-USGov (which you also did, and fully agree there). The question is if it was a photo just taken by the intern on their own with their own camera, which would make it not PD-USGov, then given over for only certain uses once the staff saw they were good photos or otherwise wanted. In that case, the license (which would be the default for the whole stream) would just be a mistake. Or, the author placed it in the public domain (or the act qualified to make it abandonment (legal) of copyright). At the very least it's not black and white. I generally tend to consider photos knowingly placed in PD-USGov sites as effectively PD-USGov, but less sure about assuming that from an intern. If this is the source photo here, it looks like it was taken with a not-low-end fixed-focal-length lens (The EXIF says Canon EF 135mm f/2L USM), which would argue against a personal photo, though again not impossible. I would probably lean keep, as the doubt seems more theoretical to me, but can understand people who feel differently. Carl Lindberg (talk) 23:56, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
@Clindberg: The photo is still available on Flickr at [18], with Exif data. Camera model was a Canon EOS 5D Mark III, so not a camera that many people own as a private person. The author is noted as Haley Maddrey, who also has a by-line title as Official White House Photographe, while the owner of copyrights is noted to be The White House. This looks like an intern taking photos with the camera of the official White House Photographer. Perhaps as a part of the internship. --Rosenzweigτ00:06, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
In the LinkedIn profile given above, she says right away that she was a Former intern in the White House Photo Office. --Rosenzweigτ00:09, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
Ah OK, great, an intern at specifically the White House Photo Office would be expected to take photos as part of their duties. I think that makes it a work for hire, and therefore PD-USGov. Keep. Carl Lindberg (talk) 03:20, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
First, I didn't dispute that the photographer is a Federal employee. What is at issue is whether the photo was taken as part of her duties. She is a third year law student -- she's not a photographer. On the other hand, the camera argument is strong -- it's an $1800 camera body -- so I agree that it is likely that she was handed the camera and told to take pix. Support. . Jim . . .

This image is permissible under de minimis. None of the figurines in the image are shown in high-detail. In fact, they're barely recognizable. Kurzon (talk) 10:22, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
@Yann: But look how damn small the figurines are! You can barely recognize that they're WH40K figurines. Who the hell wrote the criteria for de minimis on Wikimedia? I should ask a lawyer to give an opinion. Kurzon (talk) 12:26, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
If the photograph is entirely dominated by copyrightable objects, even if an individual object might be considered de minimis on its own, then the photograph still falls afoul. — Huntster (t@c)13:23, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
How is that? If the expression of each element is de minimis, then there is no infringement. You have to find expression which is more than de minimis somewhere. It could be the selection and arrangement which is copyrightable, but you have to identify something. Carl Lindberg (talk) 16:30, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
I don't disagree. That said, if you wish to find a lawyer's opinion on the matter, that's your prerogative, but we are under no obligation to keep an image based on said lawyer's opinion. Remember, this is a private website. — Huntster (t@c)15:15, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
@Kurzon Actually, some book covers look like {{PD-text}}, but that’s a side issue. Perhaps you should nominate the book image for deletion as well. At least that would force a discussion of that issue. Brianjd (talk) 15:19, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
The figurine that this guy is painting is not shown in focus nor in high resolution, and therefore this image should be permissible under de minimis. Kurzon (talk) 10:24, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
None of the figurines shown in the image are shown in focus or in high detail, therefore this image should be permissible under de minimis. Kurzon (talk) 10:25, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
Прошу восстановить страницу художника Шолоховой Марины.
На основании того, что художник является медийной личностью и имеет право на публикацию в википедии, так же как и другие уже присутствующие медийные личности.
This is my original work of art that was taken down. Someone gained access to my old account and tried to regain access, but was unable. I want this to remain online and not deleted.
Oppose I think the nominator and Krd believed that the reason for deletion was obvious. There is no indication of a free license at the source site. It probably exceeds the Japanese ToO as the fiery circle is artistic. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 17:54, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
I have already blur the poster and the image focal point is the fire accident. This image is permissible under de minimi and should not delete.--Wpcpey (talk) 12:09, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
This image was taken directly from the website of the Mercer County Convention and Visitors Bureau - the official tourism branch of Mercer County, West Virginia. There was a hyperlink to their website and the caption directly states where the image was taken from. This is a direct citation and is therefore not a copyright issue.
Oppose The fact that the image is publicly available and that you have linked and credited it does not change the fact that it is copyrighted and cannot be freely used without an explicit license from the copyright owner. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 17:33, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
Low resolution, no metadata, presumed photographer cannot provide original file. The image definitely cannot be kept. Sorry for the effort in vain. Mussklprozz (talk) 12:33, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
