[edit]Unused photo of nondescript event/people, no educational value, out of scope. P 1 9 9 ✉ 02:37, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
- The photo is part of a useful series, as shown in the tags on Flickr and in Category:IAU 27th General Assembly. The hillarious caption has by now been amended. Please keep.--NearEMPTiness (talk) 15:54, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
Unused low quality photo of nondescript building, no context, no educational use, out of scope. P 1 9 9 ✉ 02:50, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
Unused random photo of some signs on a door, no educational use, out of scope. P 1 9 9 ✉ 02:53, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
- Comment It's identified in Spanish: "Puerta de ingreso al Laboratorio en el edificio de la UTN-Santa Fe". I don't speak a lot of Spanish, but I know that means "Entrance (door) to the laboratory in the UTN-Santa Fe Building." When I did a web search on UTN-Santa Fe, this was the first result: Universidad Tecnológica Nacional, Facultad Regional Santa Fe. Now, the real issue could be that Argentina (which I figure .ar stands for in the university's URL) has a pretty restrictive COM:TOO, so their logo on the door might be a problem in that regard, but it is not a random sign on a door with no imaginable educational use, and I think it could be in scope but may not be within COM:TOO Argentina. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:03, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
- I added a new caption: "Entrance door to the Laboratory in the UTN-Santa Fe building (Universidad Tecnológica Nacional Facultad Regional Santa Fe). LaMyEn - Test and Measurement Laboratory. Manufacture of computers, peripherals and electronic items. Santa Fe, Argentina." Please keep.
- User:NearEMPTiness, how do you address the COM:TOO Argentina issue relating to the university's logo? (Also, please sign your posts.) -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 14:18, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Ikan Kekek: I just addressed the reasons mentioned in the original request: "Unused random photo of some signs on a door, no educational use, out of scope." Indeed the photo is unused, but I think, the other topics are not valid. The photo is part of a very useful series of photos, which is by now categorised in Category:Laboratorio de Mediciones y Ensayos (UTN-Santa Fe). As the logo is shown in a area that is accessible to the public, I recommend to consider {{FoP-Argentina}}, as shown on Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Argentina. The red sticker "Accesso Restrigido" makes me believe that the area in front of this door is accessible to the public, at least during opening hours of the building or even 24/7. I think that the main reason for requesting deletion was the lack of a useful file name, of a description and a category, which have been or will be fixed. Personally, I find this photo very interesting, for instance because it mentions part funding by the European Union. I still recommend to keep it, please. It should then be renamed to File:LaMyEn Test and Measurement Laboratory (Laboratorio de Mediciones y Ensayos) at UTN (Universidad Tecnológica Nacional), Santa Fe, Argentina 04.jpg, to match the other photos in the same category. --NearEMPTiness (talk) 15:32, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
- I hope you're right that what's described in COM:FOP Argentina as a "de facto freedom of panorama for architecture" covers doors from corridors of a university building and not just views of the building's exterior. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:36, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

- Keep. We don't delete photos of things just because they've changed since the photo was taken. Omphalographer (talk) 06:53, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
- Delete While I agree with the above comment about not deleting photos just because something the photographed subject has changed since being photographed, there's only limited freedom of panorama for buildings in Korea per COM:FOP South Korea. Commons requires that the content it hosts not be subject to non-commercial use restrictions per COM:LJ. So, unless it's common practice under South Korean copyright law to treat buildings under construction as "non-building structures", it doesn't seem as if this file can be kept. The same thing would also seem to apply to File:제주드림타워정면.jpg. -- Marchjuly (talk) 08:06, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
- Delete per Marchjuly. — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 13:43, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

Because it is nonsense, absolutely unusable in any article CurlingMan13 (talk) 06:41, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
- That's a bit harsh for a poster promoting a talk by a notable foreign policy scholar, I think. Maybe it's not immediately useful, but I could see it being used on articles about the US response to the War in Ukraine, Fiona Hill's own page, or the Brookings Institution if someone wanted to demonstrate their social reach. Oganguly (talk) 10:26, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
- Comment it is certainly not nonsense, and usability in a Wikipedia article is not a requirement for Commons.
- There may be a copyright issue, especially with the photo on the poster, but that would be a totally separate issue from the grounds given here. - Jmabel ! talk 15:05, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
- Not to my knowledge, because that photo is on Wikicommons with CC 3.0: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Fiona_Hill_MSC_2017_(cropped).jpg. If I just need to credit it, I can do that. Oganguly (talk) 21:32, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
A fictitious flag of a non-existent people. Mizgel (talk) 07:23, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
- The people exist: Siberian Tatars, but the flags of them are completely made up and therefore Delete. This flag was created by a group that encourages communication in the people's original Turkic language. It is not an official flag. Please also include the other version of this file File:Flag of Siberian Tatars.svg. One of the pages where the nominated file is used (ru:Обсуждение:Этнический флаг) is the talk page of the "Ethnic flag" article where there are several discussions about the massive amount of fictitious flags/original research and content in the article and the need to get rid of them. Nakonana (talk) 20:39, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
- Just how many different flags can there be for Siberian Tatars? We currently have at least four different versions: Nakonana (talk) 20:46, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
- Keep This flag is used in real life, see [1]. 5.142.178.40 15:15, 6 November 2024 (UTC)
- The flag is not depicted on that page, as far as I can see. A flag like this one is described in the section "Флаг сибирских татар", however, going by the text, it's clear that this is neither a historical nor a modern official flag (or at least I don't see any mention of an authoritative entity approving this flag), but the result of discussions on social media and a commemoration conference (of unclear significance, reach, and authority). The relevant text passage:
"В 2011 году в социальных сетях активно шло обсуждение проектов флага сибирских татар. Предлагались варианты и с изображением древней тамги, и с кедрами и соболями, и с волчьей головой (наподобие флага ногайцев). Обсуждался даже проект флага с большой буквой "Ц" в середине, автор проекта обосновывал его тем, что сибирские татары в речи часто "цокают". Наибольшую поддержку получил сине-бело-зеленый флаг с золотистой эмблемой. Проекты флага сибирских татар также обсуждались на проходившей 13-14.05.2011 года в Тюмени научно-практической конференции памяти поэта, публициста и прозаика Булата Сулейманова (т.н. "Сулеймановские чтения») и сине-бело-зеленый флаг также получил поддержку. В итоге национально-культурная автономия сибирских татар в Тюмени приняла этот флаг как народный символ."
The mentioned "national-cultural autonomy of the Siberian Tatars in [the city of] Tyumen" is an organization that was established in 1998[2]. The organization is registered as an "МОО (Местная Общественная Организация)" according to their VK page[3], which means that they are a local NGO (non-government organization). So what is the significance of their decision regarding this flag? Furthermore, the text on the website itself says that this flag is far from being commonly used or accepted. Relevant text passage:"Хотя, видимо, до всеобщего признания этого флага пока далеко, т.к. все еще продолжают появляться различные варианты других флагов, символизирующие сибирских татар. Например, в сети можно увидеть похожий рисунок, но без трехлепесткового цветка, с эмблемой, напоминающей эмблему с флага Ичкерии (но без лежащего волка); а также флаг, дополненный тамгой золотоордынских ханов."
- Besides, since this flag is apparently a modern creation and not an official state symbol (and thus not PD), the question of copyright status needs to be cleared. According to the provided vexillology website, the flag was created in 2011, but it wasn't uploaded to Commons until 2014. Is the uploader the author of the flag? The other version of this flag File:Flag of Siberian Tatars.svg provides differing author information: "изначальный концепт - MaratAA, SVG файл создан, откорректировал - Sebirkhan" ("initial concept by MaratAA, SVG created, corrected by [Wikipedia user] Sebirkhan") and the source is given as https://vk.com/sybyrlar. However, this other version was uploaded even later than the nominated one, in 2017, and it was also uploaded under a different license and by a user who had a lot of their uploaded flag images deleted per their talk page. For further assessment of this deletion request, I'm also pointing to previous deletion requests for the svg version of this file, which I discovered while checking the uploader's talk page: Commons:Deletion requests/File:Flag of Siberian Tatars.svg. The image was kept with the argument that it was COM:INUSE at the time of the deletion nomination, but the discussion might also provide some potentially relevant background information. Meanwhile, another file with a similar file name has been deleted: Commons:Deletion requests/File:Flag of the Siberian Tatar people.svg. Nakonana (talk) 19:25, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

Third-party photos hosted by the NWS uploaded by JForget
[edit]These images were both sourced from webpages of the US National Weather Service but are the work of third-party photographers. However, we have no evidence that either of these images are in the public domain or available under a free license.
For many years, hosting such images on the Commons was done in good faith under the rationale that:
- public submissions to the NWS all entered the public domain and/or
- all files hosted on NWS websites were in the public domain unless they carried a formal copyright notice
An extensive review of this rationale in 2024 revealed that neither of these beliefs held up to scrutiny. These findings were confirmed in an RfC conducted from August to October 2024.
Per COM:ONUS it is the responsibility of the person uploading an image to the Commons or anyone arguing for its retention here to provide evidence of permission from the copyright holder. For anyone interested in seeking the permission of the creators to retain these files, I offer, as a head start, the following notes left over from when I investigated them:
- File:Tornado Chicot County, Arkansas.JPG
- Emailed creator September 23; no response. VRT ticket:2024103010003153
Both these images were taken in the US after 1989, and therefore automatically protected by copyright at the instant of their creation unless ineligible for some reason. Unless anybody can provide any evidence of ineligibility for copyright, or permission from the respective copyright owners, we must delete both the files listed in this request per COM:PRP because as far as we can tell, they both are protected by copyright. --Rlandmann (talk) 07:44, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
- Delete for the Arkansas picture. Neutral for the Indiana picture pending a more detailed rationale. Hurricane Clyde 🌀my talk page! 19:17, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
- The deletion rationale is expressed in the final paragraph of the DR "All these images..."
- It is the same as almost all the third-party content from NWS sites: there is no evidence of permission, and the COM:ONUS is on anyone who wants to keep them to provide that evidence. Up until last month, some folks asserted that the weather.gov general site disclaimer was evidence of permission (the only evidence...) but we now know that this isn't the case. There's no more detailed rationale than that, and the question is really to anyone who wants to keep them: "without the general disclaimer, what evidence for permission is there?"
- Any work I've done in finding some of the photographers or asking questions of the NWS offices that published their images is a courtesy only and does not reverse the burden of proof, which resides, as it always has, with those who want to keep. --Rlandmann (talk) 10:58, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

I forwarded our correspondence to the VRT: (ticket:2024103010003421)
Since this is an image created in the US after 1989 and is attributed to a creator not ineligible for copyright, this is a presumably unfree file and we must delete it as a precaution under COM:PRP.

- Comment: An article linked from Commons:WikiProject Public Domain/PD-NWS review/File review statuses identifies Larry and June Taylor as "official observers" of the National Weather Service. Here are more details on what being an "official observer" means. However, I'm not sure if that affects the copyright status. Ixfd64 (talk) 18:39, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
- Because observers are volunteers, not federal government employees, we'd need to see:
- evidence of a contract that transfers volunteers' copyrights into the public domain (not simply transfers their copyrights to the NWS)
- evidence that this photo was taken under the terms of that contract
- (or, of course, evidence of a release of copyright or a free license via any other mechanism, as for any other image) Without that, the copyright presumably belongs to either June or Larry Taylor. --Rlandmann (talk) 21:10, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

[edit]brizzlebornandbred seems to have been a Flickr user (account now deleted) who uploaded nostalgic British cultural images that he found interesting, writing a little about them in the file description. (Commons:Deletion requests/File:TV Shows We Used To Watch - The Worker - Charlie Drake 1965-70.jpg from this Flickr user is just a still from a 1960s TV show, licenced on Commons as CC-BY to their own name.)
It's possible that the user's street photos taken in the 1960s were his own work, but these ones look like press and publicity shots. There's also a 1928 aerial photograph.

- Je devine par votre message que vous devez être le sujet présent sur l'image. Vous aviez validé cette photographie lors de sa prise en la consultant sur mon appareil photo, dire donc qu'elle n'est pas réussie est regrettable. C'est donc pour cette raison qu'elle figure sur Wikimedia Commons. De plus, vous étiez prévenu à ce moment qu'elle serait utilisée sur Wikipédia et aviez donné votre accord.
- Vous souhaitez que cette image soit retirée, très bien, je vais en acter la demande de suppression et respecter vos droits. Cependant, je trouve extrêmement dommage, puisque c'est la plus récente en grande résolution qui soit disponible sur Commons, de la faire supprimer.
- Je vais la remplacer sur Wikipédia en français par cette image, qui est la seule autre photographie assurément sous licence libre qui soit de résolution raisonnable.
- En vous souhaitant une bonne continuation.

Unused fictitious flag; out of COM:SCOPE as not realistically useful for an educational purpose. Keφr (keep talk here) 10:19, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
- Keep -- User:Kephir has had it explained to him on numerous occasions that his approach to the "special and fictional flags" issue is problematic and mostly unproductive (including on his personal user talk page and twice being referred to "Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/User problems". After the message left on his user talk page -- warning him that if he refused to engage in the current "User problems" noticeboard discussion, and instead started in with a whole new round of deletion nominations against inoffensive (i.e. non-hoaxing non-hatemongering) special or fictional flags, it would be unlikely to be interpreted as evidence of good faith on his part -- he then chose to do engage in exactly that problematic course of action. Therefore User:Kephir's action in nominating this file for deletion would appear to contain a significant malicious or spiteful component, and I would strongly recommend that all Kephir's post-August-25th "special or fictional flags" deletion proposals be automatically rejected until some of the underlying issues are settled, and Kephir's behavior can be adjusted so that it does not appear to have a goal of stirring up turbulence and turmoil among the Commons community.

For many years, hosting such images on the Commons was done in good faith under the rationale that:

Since this is an image created in the US before 1989, its copyright status will depend on the circumstances of its first publication, in particular, whether it was published before or after March 1, 1989. The earliest known publication of this image is on the NWS website where it was sourced. Unless any evidence of a previous publication can be found, this image is protected for 70 years after the death of its creator, or 120 years (expiring in 2086) if its creator is never identified.
Without evidence to the contrary, this is a presumably unfree file and we must delete it as a precaution under COM:PRP.

There's an actual photo of him on the set of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid here, which makes it pretty obvious this is just some random guy (as if the fact that this guy is bald and has a mustache wasn't enough). This is cropped from another photo, File:George Roy Hill and William R Edmondson.jpg, whose discussion page has two comments that also point out this is not Hill.

- COM:INUSE. Discuss this on the file's talk page. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:11, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
- I created this picture based on the description of File:George Roy Hill and William R Edmondson.jpg. As people may become bald over time and that moustaches come and go, I can't tell for sure whether it is the right guy. Leaving this up to you. Laddo (talk) 17:14, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
copy vio, this file is not covered by the PD-art tag as it is not PD-art but 3D see Commons:Deletion requests/File:Lorenzetti - firma - Madonna con Bambino in trono e angeli, 00284550.jpg Oursana (talk) 22:58, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
This is based on the complaint on the talk page. I can't load the source, so I can't verify whether John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin would actually have the rights to release the works of Sadoveanu and Morariu. The translator Morariu died in 1987, so copyright would naturally last until 2057 in the EU, where it was originally published (Leipzig, Germany). However, it was published in 1929, and is out of copyright in the US in two months. At that point, it could be uploaded to the Esperanto Wikisource, their rules willing, or the multilingual Wikisource, which does accept works that are PD-US-only if the normal Wikisource excludes them by their copyright rules.

- Ĉi tio baziĝas sur la plendo sur la diskutpaĝo. Mi ne povas ŝargi la fonton, do mi ne povas kontroli ĉu Johano Paŭlo la 2-a Katolika Universitato de Lublin efektive havus la rajtojn liberigi la verkojn de Sadoveanu kaj Morariu. La tradukinto Morariu mortis en 1987, do kopirajto nature daŭros ĝis 2057 en EU, kie ĝi estis origine eldonita (Leipzig, Germanio). Tamen, ĝi estis publikigita en 1929, kaj estas sen kopirajto en Usono en du monatoj. Tiutempe, ĝi povus esti alŝutita al la Esperanta Vikifontaro, laŭ iliaj reguloj, aŭ al la plurlingva Vikifontaro, kiu ja akceptas verkojn kiuj estas nur PD-Usonaj se la normala Vikifontaro ekskludas ilin per siaj kopirajtaj reguloj. --Prosfilaes (talk) 00:14, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
- Hi. On the page where I found this book, it is indicated that the rights are hold by the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin, and that it is public domain. So I don’t understand… Lepticed7 (talk) 07:42, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
- For whatever reason, the page wouldn't load for me. I am a little skeptical that it's not just carelessness, especially as there is Sadoveanu and Morariu's copyrights to worry about. Sadoveanu was a major Romanian author who died in 1961, associated with Communism and the Romanian Orthodox Church. How did rights to his works end up in the hands of the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin? Morariu is more likely, but not sufficient, and even there I'd like more information.--Prosfilaes (talk) 18:25, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
