Deletion of Wikimedia Upload
editHi, best regards. Thanks for your copyright concern. I’d like to note that everything posted on Geni is required to already be in the public domain, and can’t be subject to copyright. Since I got the image from Geni, I am sure it is in the public domain. I even provided the album that I got it from. Therefore, I am appealing your deletion request.

- Hi there,
- I've read the page you sent and it seems like the policy on Geni is that images must be public domain or be self-published, and therefore Geni holds the copyright. Whatever applies on Geni might not apply here at Commons. I've also heard that Geni is also a copyright violation. If you would like the file to be kept, you must follow the instructions on the page of the file. Myrealnamm (💬talk · ✏️contribs) at 17:23, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
