COM:EDUSE, doubtful educational usability. These LED displays of bus line numbers and destinations aren't shown in their totality (the camera exposed too shortly to gather all LED switched on) or, on a few displays, the crop is so tight that there's no context remaining (example: File:Mercedes-Benz Intouro II ME n°227598 (IDFM Pays Briard - Ligne 3114) - (Lycée Blaise Pascal, Allée Commandant Guesnet) - (Brie-Comte-Robert, FR77) - 03-06-2025 3.jpg is only a "14" on a dark background, only the file description says that it's a bus display. I do not get the educational value of that).

I had an exchange with the uploader on Commons:Deletion requests/File:Iveco Crossway Line NP n°247153 (Pays Briard - Ligne 3106) - (Lycée Blaise Pascal, Allée Commandant Guesnet) - (Brie-Comte-Robert, FR77) - 03-06-2025 7.jpg beforehand. There, he explained his intention to show the complete displays. This intention is clearly not fulfilled with the nominated files.

These files have been uploaded in the past, few days before you nominate the first file to deletion, I was not informed, but that's fine, I will not upload incomplete LEDs or unused displays, only fully buses or coaches with their advertisements blackouted (censored). Thanks for advance. Regards. Manchesterunited1234 (talk) 00:19, 4 June 2025 (UTC)
Please do not take offense. A deletion request is, at first and foremost, a quality assurance redactional process. Everybody is free to nominate any file for deletion, as long as there are reasonable grounds for it, see Commons:Deletion policy. I nor anybody else have more rights to do so than yourself! If my opinion that the nominated files are out of our project scope does not prevail, it's fine too. But if I convinced you that the selection of files for uploads wasn't optimal, you could also nominate them for deletion (or even a speedy deletion - use the code {{SD|G7}} on top of the file pages for that). Regards, Grand-Duc (talk) 00:29, 4 June 2025 (UTC)

Out of scope: Personal fiction. I do think that example files for map generators could be allowed to educate about that generators capabilities, but:

  • Details should be visible at first glance (choose a larger scale?) ✓ Done
  • Features should be recognizable (choose a higher resolution?) ✓ Done
  • Use more functions of the map generator (title, map key, compass roses) and make clear that the map is supposed to be an example through the labels.
  • For a good example, as many features as possible should be shown: this example map seems to show a vegetation/climate map and three groups of hills on some island. More variation should show all kinds of natural features, including desert, steppes, hill lands, plateaus and rivers. ✓ Done Also, cities and roads would be great to display.

Also, maybe don't overlay heraldry and other ornaments/marginalia in the center of the map when there is space at the sides? Regards, Enyavar (talk) 07:01, 4 June 2025 (UTC)

File:Serbian stamp of Frida Kahlo, 2007.jpg

This file showing a 2007 Serbian stamp was uploaded in 2024 with a {{PD-SerbiaGov}} license tag, claiming that it shows a "law, decree, other regulation or official material" of Serbia. First, it is rather doubtful if that actually applies to Serbian stamps, see my deletion rationale in Commons:Deletion requests/File:Famous personalities 1999 Yugoslavia stamp.jpg. Second, the stamp shows a 1945 painting by Frida Kahlo, which for the purposes of Wikimedia Commons is a Mexican work and still protected there until the end of 2054. So the file should be deleted. It can be restored in 2055. Rosenzweig τ 07:57, 4 June 2025 (UTC)

  • Keep. As shown on /9, the country of origin for this file is the United States, where it is in the public domain. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 04:15, 5 June 2025 (UTC)
    On page 9, it just said it is reprinted in the US in 1976, the original version was published in Denmark in 1904. Tvpuppy (talk) 10:09, 5 June 2025 (UTC)
    • Why does that matter? This book was published in the United States, which makes it the country of origin for that publication. Thus, Commons does not need to consider the laws of other countries. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 15:30, 13 June 2025 (UTC)
      As mentioned above, the source country of this book is Denmark. Commons require works to be in the public domain both in the United States and in the source country of the work. Tvpuppy (talk) 17:15, 13 June 2025 (UTC)
      • No, the source country is the United States, where it was published. Commons requires books to be in the public domain in the United States and in the country of origin. This book was printed in the United States, so its country of origin is also the United States. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 03:06, 17 June 2025 (UTC)
        As mentioned above, in the book it states it was reprinted in the US, meaning it was already printed before, and not being the first published version. So this version is just a copy of an existing copyrighted work originated from Denmark. Tvpuppy (talk) 09:37, 17 June 2025 (UTC)
  •  Delete The country of origin for all files from HathiTrust is the US, by that logic. This file wasn't printed in 1976, it was printed in 2025. The Commons rule is for copyright purposes, which mean we'd have to worry about the original publication of any and all copyrightable work.--Prosfilaes (talk) 21:50, 17 June 2025 (UTC)

These files are arbitrarily taken from the internet without a proper reasoning for the license used. Iranian law does not rule the photographs to be in the public domain by their "date of creation," rather it is required for a PD file to be "published" +30 years ago. For these files, the information about the author, date of publication, etc. are unknown. As a result, there is no proof that PD-Iran can apply to these cases. Some are possibly not even created by Iranian artists, like the one whose author is acknowledged to be w:Harrison Forman. Per Commons:Project scope/Precautionary principle, the freedom of these files are questionable and they should be deleted.

HeminKurdistan (talk) 18:21, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

    • The files you mentioned were all taken during the Iran-Iraq war, which took place over thirty years ago. It is impossible for the individuals in these photos to have taken the images after the war, as they were all killed during that conflict. The images were not arbitrarily taken; rather, by referring to the provided sources, one can obtain the necessary information regarding the photos.Moreover, the evidence that the owners of these photos were killed in the same war can be found on the Wikipedia page of each individual. Therefore, they could not have taken the images after the war, which means that the photos were taken more than thirty years ago and thus fall under PD-Iran.Harold Krabs (talk) 13:48, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
      @Harold Krabs Iranian law does not assume photographs taken +30 years ago to be in the public domain unless they have been published +30 years ago. Also, the claim that the photographers are now dead is unsubstantiated and should be proved in a case by case basis. There are also many instances that the creator is not Iranian. In fact, many of these photographs are not subject to Iranian law at all, like File:محمدعلی صفا.jpg, which is taken in the United Kingdom. HeminKurdistan (talk) 17:48, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
      @HeminKurdistan This discussion has been unresolved for a long time. I am not familiar with the process of discussing file deletions on Wikimedia Commons. However, if possible, could you clarify the status of the files you listed?.Harold Krabs (talk) 03:25, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
      @Harold Krabs Unless any specific file can be shown to have been published in Iran over 30 years ago, and/or specifically proven to be Public Domain, these files have to be deleted. All we have so far is conjecture on any of them. (tagging @HeminKurdistan as well) Bastique ☎ let's talk! 21:45, 6 December 2024 (UTC)
      @Bastique Does this mean that if it can be proven that any image was created in Iran over 30 years ago, there would be no issue with keeping it? For most cases, it can be demonstrated that these images were taken during the Iran-Iraq War, which ended over 30 years ago. Harold Krabs (talk) 22:19, 6 December 2024 (UTC)
      @Harold Krabs: No, I didn't say created. It has to have been published in Iran over 30 years ago. And the copyright does not belong to the subject, it belongs to the photographer. I don't know what the rule is for unknown author. Bastique ☎ let's talk! 01:24, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

 Keep Looking at the [[ File:The brig Governess - ABDAG013202.jpgalternative version ]] (which should be linked for ease), this appears to be another attempt to delete a higher-resolution file in favour of a lower-res version. Also the structured data on each appears to differ. This nomination should be withdrawn, the structured data harmonised across the two file versions, and a new nomination presented for the lower resolution version.

File:The Romaunt of the Rose (IA romauntofroseren00guil).djvu

This is a US reprint of an earlier work published in the United Kingdom. The issue is that one of the Illustrators died in 19832. Thus the illustrations are not out of copyright in the UK where the illustrator was based. This file is IN USE at Wikisource, so should be localised. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 15:10, 4 June 2025 (UTC)

  •  Keep Once a new edition is printed in the USA, that edition falls under US copyright law. We could not host the UK edition, which would fall under UK copyright law. --RAN (talk) 18:13, 4 June 2025 (UTC)
How does this work if it's the same work just with a new imprint? ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 19:12, 4 June 2025 (UTC)
@ShakespeareFan00: There are minor editorial changes (e.g., the illustration facing page 14 was swapped with the frontispiece illustration, etc.) and thus this should be considered a new US edition and not just a new imprint of the original 1908 UK editions. FYI, if this was a copyright violation in the US, it would certainly be so for Internet Archive and HathiTrust as both are hosted in the US but this scanned book is publicly available at both. —Uzume (talk) 21:58, 4 June 2025 (UTC)
As the uploader of this file, I am not sure if I should vote or not but I assume this is in reference to copyrights of Henderson's estate (he died in 1982 and not 1983) and would thus also explicitly apply to: Category:Illustrations by Keith Henderson for the Romaunt of the Rose (each of those were uploaded by @Cbaile19 and tagged with {{PD-US-expired}}). I agree with @RAN. The original 1908 edition was published only in the UK and thus would have to qualify for public domain status in the UK and then also in the US (e.g., under URAA or 95-year expiration, etc.), however, this edition was published in the US in 1911 (and there are albeit minor editorial changes) so it qualifies itself under the 95-year expiration without needing public domain status in any other countries. As such this is not a copyright violation for WMF which is hosted in the US and thus must comply with US copyright rules. That said, it may still be copyright elsewhere and usage outside the US should be evaluated based on the copyright status in whatever country is applicable for such usage. I retagged the license on the file to be more specific and applicable (with {{PD-old-auto-expired}}). As to UK copyright status, I believe, neither the original 1908 nor this 1911 US edition would qualify for public domain status, thus parts (such as Henderson's illustrations) may be considered under copyright there. —Uzume (talk) 21:53, 4 June 2025 (UTC)
My understanding was that Commons generally tried to be respectul of both the US and non US positions. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 22:49, 4 June 2025 (UTC)
@ShakespeareFan00: That is exactly why I tagged it with {{PD-old-auto-expired}} and Henderson's death year. That way, it shows its US copyright status as well as automatically showing the "old" copyright status information for other countries once applicable (i.e., once enough time has past, etc.). The current license states: "Public domain works must be out of copyright in both the United States and in the source country of the work in order to be hosted on the Commons. If the work is not a U.S. work, the file must have an additional copyright tag indicating the copyright status in the source country." However, this is a US published work so it is public domain in both the US and its country of origin (the same US; the 1908 UK editions would not so qualify). In 2033, the text will automatically change to: "The author died in 1982, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 50 years or fewer." And in future years the "50" increments up by decades I believe. That is about as respectful as it can be. The individual images of Henderson's illustrations extracted from the same work could also be so tagged but for now only show their US public domain status; I might go through and fix their licensing at some point but they are not actually tagged wrong. I appreciate you bringing this topic up though. IA-Upload, defaults to a bare {{PD-scan}} which in turn defaults to {{PD-old}} which does not apply here (at least not for a long time anyway) and technically never actually applies for US public domain status by itself. It might make sense to lobby to get {{PD-scan}} changed to default to something that specifies US public domain status like {{PD-US-expired}} or {{PD-old-70-expired}}. —Uzume (talk) 23:17, 4 June 2025 (UTC)
@ShakespeareFan00: Here is another interesting example: File:Peter and Wendy (1911).djvu. I am sure you are aware J. M. Barrie was Scottish and thus most of his work was published in the UK. I believe for most works, the UK goes by the "life plus 70" rule for public domain status. Barrie died in 1937, so most of that work (Barrie's contribution) should have been public domain in the UK since 2008, however, by a special law, Peter and Wendy has a perpetual copyright in the UK. As such, all UK publications of Peter and Wendy can never be public domain (until the law changes anyway). However, this 1911 edition was published in the US and so is in the public domain there (due to the 95-year copyright expiration) and thus can be hosted here at Commons despite the UK copyright. Commons respects the copyrights of other countries but does not completely adhere to them. Both the file reported here and the above mentioned Peter and Wendy are in a different situation than UK publications like the original 1908 editions or something like s:File:The Worm Ouroboros - 1922.djvu (another UK publication with Henderson illustrations published more than 95 years ago) which are allowed at WMF (e.g., Wikisource, Wikipedia, etc.) but not at Commons. —Uzume (talk) 23:56, 4 June 2025 (UTC)
w:Peter and Wendy#Copyright status is not under copyright in the UK; the Hospital merely has rights to royalties, and not any other rights. One could argue that Commons should not host it as it is not effectively free in its country of origin, but its situation is sui generis.--Prosfilaes (talk) 19:46, 17 June 2025 (UTC)
File:Peter and Wendy (1911).djvu was uploaded to Commons in 2021 when copyrights to Francis Donkin Bedford's illustrations were still in force in the UK and yet it remained. Of course that is now a moot point since those copyrights have since expired. Whether Peter and Wendy is sui generis based upon Barrie's work is not the point. The point is that it is not public domain and free of encumbrances in its country of origin unless you count that it was published in the US giving it another country of origin for those publications. —Uzume (talk) 12:32, 20 June 2025 (UTC)
Other things exist has never been a good argument; nobody may have checked it and nominated it. As for now, we frequently ignore non-copyright restrictions. Peter and Wendy's restriction seems similar to the Italian one for a lot of old buildings, {{Italy-MiBAC-disclaimer}}, which is not something that's blocked us from uploading images.--Prosfilaes (talk) 18:33, 20 June 2025 (UTC)
@ShakespeareFan00: If you wanted to transcribe the 1908 edition (e.g., HT: uiug.30112066869923), you could upload that to Wikisource but it would not be allowed at Commons because it is a UK publication still under a UK copyright status. Does that help? —Uzume (talk) 07:13, 5 June 2025 (UTC)
I am UK based, so can't work on it, but more editions are always good. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 18:14, 5 June 2025 (UTC)
  •  Delete A later US publication of a work does not make it a US work. The point of the Commons rules is that if it's PD in the US and its country of origin, it will be PD in most of the world through the rule of the shorter term. For that to work, its country of origin has to have the same meaning as it does in copyright law, which makes this a British work, possibly with copyrightable US additions.--Prosfilaes (talk) 19:46, 17 June 2025 (UTC)
    This is a unique edition with a different frontispiece, image captions and a new glossary. I do not think this qualifies as a "reprint". —Uzume (talk) 21:41, 17 June 2025 (UTC)
    It doesn't matter whether it counts as a "reprint". It is a derivative work of a copyrighted work, probably unauthorized, so copyright law is going to cover it where ever it covers the original. That's the point of this Commons rule, so countries with the "rule of the shorter term" will generally not have a problem with works on Commons.--Prosfilaes (talk) 22:06, 17 June 2025 (UTC)

There's also the issue that permanency is needed for FOP. Unfortunately it doesn't usually work for things like posters at children's birthday parties, party balloons, stuffed animals put on dumpsters, or statues temporarily placed on ski lifts.

File:Egor Burkin.jpg

This file was initially tagged by Holigan Martin Klinov as Speedy (speedydelete) and the most recent rationale was: Lack of reliable metadata, licensing, and transparency. The file posted on Wikimedia Commons and other resources does not contain adequate information about the author, licensing, and permission to use the image. According to Wikimedia's internal rules, images with recognizable people must be accompanied by documented consent, unless they were taken under conditions of special public necessity, which is not applicable here. Lack of public significance. The person depicted is not a public figure in the legal sense. Consequently, there is no socially significant purpose for publishing and indexing the image that could justify the invasion of privacy. Without consent and in circumstances where damage to reputation is caused, the distribution of the image has no legal or ethical justification. since the file was kept in March 2025, this is not a speedy deletion. זיו「Ziv」 • For love letters and other notes 19:58, 4 June 2025 (UTC)

 Keep; my thoughts remain consistent with the previous deletion request. The individual depicted holds a degree of relevance, regardless of whether they are classified as a public figure, due to the existence of coverage in reliable sources. The licensing appears to be in order based on the information provided for the source, where the photograph is also accessible. Metadata concerns are likely minimal, as the image originates from an official Ukrainian government-managed website and appears to be an identification photograph, such as a mugshot or official document photo. There is no definitive information regarding consent standards in Ukraine, and applying the standards of another jurisdiction may not be appropriate. Although it could be argued that the photograph was taken in Russia (given the individual's background as a Russian drug trafficker), there is insufficient evidence to confirm this, and such claims remain speculative. Even in that case, I doubt a fugitive would request the removal of the file. Franco Brignone • Talkpage 01:00, 5 June 2025 (UTC)
Thank you for your contribution. However, in this situation, there are strong and well-founded reasons to request the removal of the image Egor_Burkin.jpg from Wikipedia, despite your opinion on the acceptability of its use. Below is a detailed explanation:
Violation of the Right to One’s Image
Even if the file is nominally published on an external website under a CC BY 4.0 license, this does not automatically grant the right to reproduce and distribute a third party's image without their consent, particularly when the individual in question:
Is a private person (not a globally recognized public figure),
Has not given explicit consent for the use of their image on Wikipedia,
Is associated in the article with controversial and defamatory claims (e.g., references to a "drug cartel", "sanctions", "criminal charges"), thus amplifying reputational harm.
According to Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), everyone has the right to respect for their private and family life. Using an image in a potentially defamatory context without consent constitutes an interference with this right.
Violation of Wikimedia Commons Policy
According to the Commons policy on photographs of identifiable people, images of identifiable individuals must:
Be taken in a public space without deception,
Not be used in a defamatory or libelous context without permission,
Not violate the subject’s privacy rights, especially when the person is not a figure of broad public interest on an international scale.
In this case, these criteria are not met.
Lack of Encyclopedic Value and Speculative Nature of Sources
You referenced articles from lesser-known publications such as slidstvo.info and regionews.ua. These sources:
Do not meet Wikipedia’s standards for reliable sources,
Contain investigative journalism with unproven allegations, lacking judicial decisions or official documentation.
As a result, the reputation of the person depicted is harmed, and the image is being used in a potentially defamatory and biased context, which violates both internal Wikipedia guidelines and international standards for data protection and personal rights.
Serious Risk of Defamation and Harm
The image in question is used in conjunction with accusations related to criminal organizations, drug trafficking, and sanctions. This gives rise to:
A violation of Articles 17 and 19 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR),
A violation of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which applies to the distribution of personally identifiable information online without proper legal basis or consent.
Conclusion
The image should be removed for the following reasons:
It was uploaded and published without verified consent from the individual depicted,
It is associated with highly damaging and unproven allegations,
It does not comply with Wikimedia’s guidelines on fair use and privacy,
It violates international human rights and data protection laws, specifically concerning the right to one’s image and reputation. Holigan Martin Klinov (talk) 05:43, 5 June 2025 (UTC)
@Holigan Martin Klinov, there is currently no publicly available information regarding the location, date, or photographer of the image in question, nor about the specific consent standards that may apply. Based on this, concerns about consent would be relevant only if the individual depicted—Egor Burkin—personally requested the file's removal. Even in such a case, the request could be denied by a Commons administrator if the file is deemed to hold sufficient encyclopedic value.
Burkin's status as a fugitive is a confirmed fact according to official records from the Ukrainian government, and therefore does not constitute an unverified or potentially defamatory allegation.
While I may not possess extensive knowledge of Ukrainian media outlets, the two cited sources have dedicated articles on the Ukrainian Wikipedia, indicating a degree of notability (slidstvo.info, RegioNews). Furthermore, these are not the only sources available; they were selected for brevity, and additional references can be provided.
Unless the aforementioned issues are conclusively demonstrated, my position remains to retain the file. Franco Brignone • Talkpage 14:01, 5 June 2025 (UTC)
Justification for Deletion of the File "Egor_Burkin.jpg" from Wikipedia
URL: https://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Egor_Burkin.jpg
Uploader: https://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Joker_Ukr
1. Lack of Public Significance of the Person Depicted
The individual in the image, Egor Burkin, does not possess sustained or verifiable public relevance in political, scientific, cultural, or any other field that would justify inclusion in an encyclopedic resource. He is not a public figure of recognized national or international importance. Publishing the image of a private individual without established public interest contradicts Wikipedia’s core mission as an educational and informational platform.
2. The Photo Has No Encyclopedic or Educational Value
The file does not represent a visual that is historically relevant, tied to public activity, or connected to notable professional achievements. It is not used to illustrate verifiable, neutral, and well-sourced content, thereby failing to meet Wikimedia’s standards for multimedia inclusion. The image, in itself, contributes no value to an article and is not accompanied by authoritative, reliable sources.
3. Possible Violation of Data Protection Laws (GDPR)
If the person in the image is a citizen or resident of a country covered by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), publishing their image without explicit consent and without a legitimate interest may violate Articles 6 and 9 of the GDPR. As Wikimedia Commons operates internationally, it is obligated to comply with these regulations.
4. Uploader’s Activity Suggests a Targeted Action
The user Joker_Ukr, who uploaded this file, has not contributed anything to Wikipedia other than uploading this specific image. This strongly suggests that the sole purpose of the upload was to publicly associate the person in the photo with a particular defamatory narrative. This behavior runs counter to Wikipedia's policy against using the platform to harm private individuals.
Conclusion:
The file "Egor_Burkin.jpg" should be deleted because:
The person depicted lacks verified public relevance;
The photo has no encyclopedic or educational value;
Its publication infringes upon the subject’s right to image and privacy;
It potentially violates the GDPR;
The upload appears to be a targeted action with no broader editorial contribution.
Removing this image is consistent with Wikipedia’s internal policies as well as applicable international legal standards.
Based on the facts and arguments outlined above, the image in question should be permanently deleted from Wikipedia.
Its continued presence serves no encyclopedic purpose, contributes nothing of value to public knowledge, and directly conflicts with both Wikimedia’s internal guidelines and internationally recognized legal norms concerning personal data, privacy, and the right to one’s own image.
Considering the absence of public relevance of the individual, the lack of legitimate educational or informational context, the apparent misuse of the platform by the uploader, and the potential legal implications under the European Convention on Human Rights and the GDPR, the only appropriate and responsible course of action is the irrevocable removal of this file.

File:Pattern Drafting And Grading (1961).djvu

Given more information came to light, including other and later editions (some noted at https://openlibrary.org/books/OL14242686M/Pattern_drafting_and_grading), I no longer have confidence in the non-renewal, given that the claimed license at IA may be flawed, and the Metadata on that site seemingly misatrributes who the author acutally is.

  • Keep. The only copyright notice on the work is from 1961, and that copyright was not renewed. This work appears to be from 1961, as well, and there is no evidence of this being a later publication. Even if it was, without a later copyright notice any new material was not copyrighted (and, again, the 1961 material was not renewed). TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 18:55, 6 June 2025 (UTC)

File:Nouman Ali Khan live in Trinidad.png

The primary issue with this file is the nature of its source. Zulfiqaar Media does not appear to be an independent content creator; rather, it predominantly shares edited clips derived from copyrighted materials produced by others. For instance, one of its recent uploads titled Imam Was Late for Fajr is directly taken from Mufti Menk’s official channel. A broader review of the channel’s content reveals a consistent pattern of reusing and republishing material from third-party sources without evident original contribution. Another example, a clip featuring Nouman Ali Khan is actually extracted from a talk hosted by RIS. –𝐎𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐬 𝐀𝐥 𝐐𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢 ʕʘ̅͜ʘ̅ʔ 22:42, 4 June 2025 (UTC)

Well, where did the video come from? Here is ROU Facebook page, they did not even post anything in 2014  REAL 💬 ⬆   23:19, 4 June 2025 (UTC)
@999real: The intro and logo of the video clearly indicate its source, making further identification unnecessary. The video's originality is evident from its intro, which attributes it to RevivalUmmah—a platform that has existed in 2014. See the tweet as evidence, although the platform is now inactive. A tweet confirms that the referenced conference took place in August 2014, while the version you cited was uploaded in October. The video intro states that it originates from the RevivalUmmah channel, but why was it uploaded via Zulfiqaar Media two months later? The nature of other content published by Zulfiqaar Media, along with these indicators, suggests that Zulfiqaar Media is a copyright-compliant content distributor, and this video falls under that category as well. It's common sense!–𝐎𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐬 𝐀𝐥 𝐐𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢 ʕʘ̅͜ʘ̅ʔ 23:53, 4 June 2025 (UTC)

Unclear copyright status, the file was first published on social media the source given does not own the rights (license laundering). HeminKurdistan (talk) 23:19, 4 June 2025 (UTC)

Can you show an example of more early publishing than this YouTube? Анастасия Львоваru/en 08:02, 5 June 2025 (UTC)
@Lvova This YouTube channel has uploaded dozens of amateur films from different locations and different dates, as well as footage from Iranian state television. It certainly does not own the rights. Moreover, your request contradicts with onus of proof principle, this is the uploader who should prove that the source is authentic, not vice versa. HeminKurdistan (talk) 12:42, 11 June 2025 (UTC)
Nope, I should not prove something when I see unsubstantiated allegations. Now you said at least something. @Darafsh: what will you say about the channel? I'm ready to find another video, but would like to see the situation better. Анастасия Львоваru/en 13:53, 11 June 2025 (UTC)

Well, Darafsh agreed that the channel is not trustful. I would be fully agree with the nomination with at least one link to a social media, but still somehow agree, the decision is up to sysops. Анастасия Львоваru/en 10:25, 12 June 2025 (UTC)

Files in Category:Chioggia by Gheorghe Petrașcu

It is possible that I'm mistaken, but https://artsandculture.google.com/asset/landscape-of-chioggia-venice-gheorghe-petra%C8%99cu/4wGvB99Zr-3pPw seems to imply that Petrașcu's paintings of Chioggia would date from 1934, and therefore would be copyrighted in the U.S. through 2029, becoming public domain in 2030. (This assumes we consider them to have been immediately "published.")

Jmabel ! talk 00:12, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

 Comment the fact that two of these are clearly earlier than 1934 (and are old enough to be out of copyright in the U.S.) means that any of the others might also be that old, so this is on much shakier footing than I first thought. - Jmabel ! talk 02:47, 5 June 2025 (UTC)
