Delete, a complex shape regardless. Grandmaster Huon (talk) 03:44, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep No, it is not complex shape. This is few stars, 20 points-curved simple line of map of Romania and text font. You should not start requests anymore please.

"Disagree with deletion of this file uploaded in 2012." -ThecentreCZ Grandmaster Huon (talk) 03:46, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, still think the arrangement of shapes is original enough to put it above COM:TOO Czech Republic. Grandmaster Huon (talk) 03:47, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep You are wrong. These are not unique. You've would question entire thousands of files with simple shape consensus. As I stated before, these are simple geometric shapes of

and 5 times

with one two pointed object. Cannot be seen as such. Thank you. ThecentreCZ (talk) 04:09, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The arrangement of the simple shapes may be "a unique outcome of the creative activity of the author" per my previous linked page. Grandmaster Huon (talk) 04:32, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

These shapes can be arranged in multiple ways in a creative manner. Grandmaster Huon (talk) 04:33, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes they can, according to previous assements, in this case this is simple case adequate to be on Commons is accordance with thousands of other logos. Not uniquely designed, on which treshold of originality can apply. ThecentreCZ (talk) 04:38, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

But the other logos were kept because the TOO of the country of origin was high. I'm not sure if Czech has a high TOO, as a strict interpretation of the law can mean that this logo can be copyrighted. Grandmaster Huon (talk) 14:06, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I'm sorry, @Grandmaster Huon, but your perception of when something should be deleted does not match the TOO. Furthermore, a normal request for deletion of a file will also do. The fact that you are requesting quick deletions everywhere is not exactly useful. Welkend (talk) 17:41, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What TOO in question? Grandmaster Huon (talk) 20:20, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that non-obvious speedy deletion requests are wrong. But why do you think this file is below COM:TOO Czech Republic? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:57, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The arrangement of geometric shapes in a unique manner can be a creative effort as per COM:TOO Czech Republic. Grandmaster Huon (talk) 23:05, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That might be a fair argument, but it's not so obvious as to warrant speedy deletion. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:36, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

But is it enough to merit deletion regardless? Grandmaster Huon (talk) 03:47, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It might be. And that's why I asked User:Welkend why they think the file is below COM:TOO Czech Republic. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:48, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This deletion discussion is now closed. Please do not make any edits to this archive. You can read the deletion policy or ask a question at the Village pump. If the circumstances surrounding this file have changed in a notable manner, you may re-nominate this file or ask for it to be undeleted.

File:PaulBernNote.JPG

While the text of the note may have been published, bibliographically speaking, in newspapers in 1932, with or without a copyright notice, for US copyright purposes publication (general publication) can only happen if authorised by the author. Any contemporary newspapers publishing this text would have done so as fair use, not because the suicide note was somehow public domain or, even more ridiculously, licensed under a compatible free license. In order to ascertain the note's copyright term we need to know when the first authorized publication happened, which, absent evidence to the contrary may have been "never"—it is entirely possible that all subsequent publications have been on similar fair use grounds—or may have happened at any point in the intervening years (if the estate or heirs granted permission to someone writing a book about the affair, say).

Since it is pretty much impossible to prove that it was never published with permission before 2003 (when {{PD-US-unpublished}} would come into play), we must assume per COM:PRP that publication with permission happened somewhere in the time window where a pub. +95 term applies (if publication was late enough that the term was pma. 70 it would have long since expired).

The best bet for anyone wanting to try to save this file is to trawl through the oldest books about this topic looking for one giving the full text of the note and mentioning in the text somewhere that they have the permission of the heirs (even indirectly in the form of thanking them for assistance or graciously permitting etc.). If found it may be reasonable to conclude that first publication happened no later than that time and copyright expires 95 years after that book was published, or it could be that that book either lacked a copyright notice or failed to renew copyright in the 28th year after publication.

Note that the file is in use on many Wikipedias and several of them may have EDPs permitting fair use material ala. enWP. Before deleting these should be notified and given the opportunity to import the file locally if desired and permitted by their policy. Xover (talk) 07:07, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep You disregard the very valid {{PD-US-unpublished}} option as "Since it is pretty much impossible to prove that it was never published with permission before 2003". It is just as impossible to prove that it was published with explicit permission. (If it was widely published without anything being done againest it by the heirs, I'd count that as implicit permission to have it published). PCP good & fine, but this arguing about a 92 year old low res one-sentence long suicide scribbeling is copyright paranoia. ~TheImaCow (talk) 16:11, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Of course not. You can positively prove that it has been published any number of ways. A prime example, a book that publishes it and says it is used by permission of the heirs (which is a very common practice). But as I also mentioned, you could even just make it plausible that this has happened by finding a book where the heirs have in some way participated, for example by the author thanking them for assistance or similar, without making the permission explicit. The opposite is true for proving it was never published, simply because you cannot prove a negative. Failing to find a publication does not mean there isn't one, just that you failed to find it.

And copyright owners failing to act in some way has never been a valid argument. The heirs could have failed to act for any number of reasons, lack of awareness being one obvious possibility, and unlike trademarks this affects their rights not one bit. But more to the point, the contemporary publications were in newspapers and were reporting on current events. That is, they were publishing it under the fair use doctrine (an affirmative defence against a claim of copyright infringement which does not apply to Commons and is explicitly not permitted under Commons policy). There was essentially nothing the heirs could have done to prevent this.

So… In order to preserve this you'd need to find a publication that is 1) plausibly the first (general) publication, and 2) that failed to comply with the required formalities (notice, renewal, etc.). Xover (talk) 16:47, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

COM:PCP requires "significant doubt" (emphasis original). What I see here are vague claims that the publication might not be authorized, or it might have been authorized, but too recent, or it might not have been at all. And any of this might be a problem. I think that's far from significant doubt.

The file in question is either {{PD-US-no notice}}, or {{PD-US-unpublished}}. If we're not sure, we can add both tags.

And the purely hypothetical case that the heirs -zero clue who they are- have somehow agreed the "publication" of a 1932 suicide note between 1977-2003? This goes wayyy beyond any reasonable research, and it is up to you to prove that.

And that this would somehow reset the copyright clock, are there any cases to look at? (Copyrighting someone's 92 year old suicide note.........)

Either way, some more input is certainly needed here. ~TheImaCow (talk) 01:39, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

File:F5 Ruskin Heights, Missouri tornado in Kansas 1957.jpg

The uploader sourced this file from the website of the US National Weather Service: https://www.weather.gov/eax/RuskinHeights where it's been hosted since at least 2016.

Per the source the photo was taken by Reverend Robert Alexander from the Methodist parsonage at Spring Hill, Kansas, in 1957, and that the photo came to the NWS via Tim Janicke of the Kansas City Star. A Rev. Robert Alexander died at the Methodist church in nearby Wellsville in 1971, aged 69,[10] who might plausibly have been the photographer.

The rationale for hosting it on the Commons has been:

a belief when the NWS general website disclaimer states that information on there site is "in the public domain, unless specifically noted otherwise" it necessarily means noted with a formal copyright notice, and that the absence of a formal notice accompanying an image equates to an assertion by the NWS that the image is in the public domain.
a set of terms and conditions used for a time by the NWS Sioux City office for public contributions

However:

There is nothing to connect this image with the Sioux City office (it was published by the Kansas City office)
A recent analysis of over 200 third-party images has found that whatever the NWS intends by "specifically noted otherwise" in their disclaimer, images that are known to be protected by copyright are routinely published on NWS websites without formal copyright notices, or sometimes without any attribution at all. Very many examples exist, spanning major media outlets, photographers who claim that they never relinquished their rights to their photos, and permissions granted to the NWS in public that did not include release into the public domain. Not a single one of these was published by the NWS with a formal copyright notice.

The most likely conclusion is that the NWS does not intend "specifically noted otherwise" to mean "specifically noted with a formal copyright notice". Alternatively, if that really is the intention of those words, the NWS has deviated from this intention so thoroughly as to render the disclaimer unreliable as an assertion of public domain status.

Copyright of images taken in the United States prior to March 1, 1989 depends on the circumstances of their first publication, rather than when they were actually taken. (see COM:HIRTLE).

This image might already have entered the public domain if it were first published before 1989 without meeting all the requirements for protection, but this cannot simply be assumed. Alternatively, for example, if it was first published in a book somewhere between 1957 and 1977 (and the formalities were correctly carried out), it will enter the public domain somewhere between 2053 and 2073. Or if the Rev Robert Alexander who died in 1971 was indeed the photographer and the photo was never published before 1989, then it will pass into the public domain in 2042, 70 years after his death.

I have searched The Kansas City Star's coverage of this tornado in the days following the event via newspapers.com but have been unable to find this photo. I tentatively conclude that they didn't have it at the time and the KCS connection must have come later.

Without details of its first publication, we cannot assess the copyright status of this per-1989 US image and therefore must delete it unless someone can provide this information.

Closing admins should familiarise themselves with the evidence and discussions at this RfC when closing this request.

Weak delete per @Rlandmann. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 12:56, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep For the following reasons (long post…sorry):

The image originates from this web site by the National Weather Service (NWS). The NWS noted the following caption with the photo: "Tornado near Spring Hill, Kansas. Original photograph taken from the north porch of the parsonage of the Methodist Church. Photographer looking north. Photograph has been cosmetically enhanced. As the storm strikes the small town of Spring Hill, Kansas, four members of the Isham Davis family were killed. Photo courtesy of Tim Janicke, Kansas City Star. Photographed by Reverend Robert Alexander.". Per the disclaimer linked at the bottom on the webpage, "The information on National Weather Service Web servers and Web sites is in the public domain, unless specifically annotated otherwise, and may be used freely by the public." We have confirmed evidence this image exists on a web site as well as the web servers of the National Weather Service (weather.gov).
For the clause of “specifically annotated otherwise”, NWS either allows the user to add a copyright “©” watermark to the image {as seen in this image, hosted on this NWS webpage} or by directly adding a copyright statement using “©” {as seen on this NWS webpage: difference between the “Tornado Photos” and “Damage” tabs}. That disclaimer is linked at the bottom of all three of the NWS webpages linked above (this image’s webpage + 2 I used as examples). To me, “specifically annotated otherwise” indicates a direct copyright (©) statement or watermark.
The NWS disclaimer also states, "Third-party information and imagery are used under license by the individual third-party provider. [...] Please contact the third-party provider for information on your rights to further use these data/products." See instances of usage below:

MissouriLife used the photo in this article where it is attributed “National Weather Service”.
The city government of Spring Hill, Kansas used the photo with no attribution in this post on Facebook.
The Kansas State Mesonet used the photo with no attribution in this post on X. To note, the Kansas State Mesonet is operated by Kansas State University.
The National Weather Service office of Omaha/Valley, Nebraska used the photo with no attribution in this post on Facebook. This is included as the NWS webpage with the image was from the NWS office in Kansas City/Pleasant Hill, MO.
WDAF used the photo with no attribution in this post on Facebook.
KEY: Martin City, Missouri, a city largely destroyed by this specific tornado, uses the photo on its own city history website, where it is attributed with the caption: “Actual photo of the ‘Ruskin Heights Tornado’ approaching Martin City from the direction of Spring Hill Kansas. Courtesy: National Weather Service”.
KMBC used the photo in this article from 2020 where it is credited “Rev. Robert Alexander”. The article cites the U.S. Weather Bureau throughout the article (not for the photo). Mr. Alexander was already dead at the time of this article, so copyright for the image physically could not have been given, indicating it is free-to-use.

To me, all the things above point to this image being in the public domain. So, I vote to Keep this photograph as it seems clear the U.S. government, local city governments, universities, and RS media indicate there is no copyright on the photograph. WeatherWriter (talk) 17:32, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WeatherWriter. ChessEric (talk) 01:35, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Let’s be clear @WeatherWriter @ChessEric: that it is possible that this image could have already entered the public domain if they didn’t register the copyright and didn’t provide notice. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 15:50, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To expand on this a little:

the earliest source for the image I know of is a book from 1983 published without a copyright notice and for which copyright was not registered within the statutory five-year period. If this was the first publication (and there's no reason to think it was...) this would place the image in the public domain.
I have interesting but uncorroborated evidence that the original photographic print of Alexander's image might have been on public display in Spring Hill prior to that date; if so, and if it was publicly displayed without a copyright notice, and if it it hadn't already been published elsewhere with a copyright notice, then this would also place the image in the public domain.

I'm noting these things not to try and change anybody's position here, but simply to illustrate that clearing pre-1989 US images is not straightforward and why significant doubt exists around their copyrights until we can zero in on the (actual or very likely) first publication of an image. Right now, for this image, 26 years still separates the photo from its first known publication, so we can't say anything with certainty. Speculating: if first publication was in a newspaper, it's probably in the public domain -- in this era only the very largest papers registered copyrights. If it was in a magazine or book, copyright might very well have been registered, and even renewed.

I recently got my hands on a 1930s book on sailing published in the US, which included some photos that I thought would be great for the Commons. This book only had one, single print run, and the author has been dead for very many decades now. However, when researching its copyright status, I discovered that (for whatever reason) his estate had paid to renew the copyright within the expiry window, and it will now still be protected for copyright for another decade or so! (I say "for whatever reason" because they never actually reprinted it; maybe they had planned to?) --Rlandmann (talk) 00:42, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

File:Crystal Lake, Illinois, Holter home foundation.png

The uploader sourced this file from the website of the US National Weather Service: https://www.weather.gov/lot/Palm_Sunday_Outbreak where it's been hosted since 2015 without attribution

The Crystal Lake Historical Society identifies it as the work of local photographer Jim Seymour (d.1988[11]) It is one of a batch of 21 photographic prints that was donated to the society in 2000. The Society is unaware of any prior publication.

The Society has featured Seymour's photos of the tornado aftermath in a slideshow on its website since at least 2010, although due to a technology change, it's not possible to verify with complete certainty that this photo was among them. Nevertheless, the physical print in the Society's collection is the only original source known and documented for this image.

The tornado took place in the United States in 1965

The rationale for hosting it on the Commons has been:

A recent analysis of over 200 third-party images has found that whatever the NWS intends by "specifically noted otherwise" in their disclaimer, images that are known to be protected by copyright are routinely published on NWS websites without formal copyright notices, or sometimes without any attribution at all. Very many examples exist, spanning major media outlets, photographers who claim that they never relinquished their rights to their photos, and permissions granted to the NWS in public that did not include release into the public domain. Not a single one of these examples was published by the NWS with a formal copyright notice.

The most likely conclusion is that the NWS does not intend "specifically noted otherwise" to mean "specifically noted with a formal copyright notice". Alternatively, if that really is the intention of those words, the NWS has deviated from this intention so thoroughly as to render the disclaimer unreliable as an assertion of public domain status.

Copyright of images taken in the United States prior to March 1, 1989 depends on the circumstances of their first publication, rather than when they were actually taken. (see COM:HIRTLE).

This image might already have entered the public domain if it were first published before 1989 without meeting all the requirements for protection, but this cannot simply be assumed. Alternatively, for example, if it was first published in a book somewhere between 1965 and 1977 (and the formalities were correctly carried out), it will enter the public domain somewhere between 2061 and 2073. Or if the photo was never published before 1989, then it will pass into the public domain in 2059, 70 years after Seymour's death.

Without details of its first publication, we cannot assess the copyright status of this pre-1989 US image and therefore must delete it unless someone can provide this information.

Closing admins should familiarise themselves with the evidence and discussions at this RfC when closing this request.

File:Map of Pala Empire under Devapala.png

The map is highly exaggerated AlvaKedak (talk) 13:07, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This map is contradicted by the sources it cites, like Kamboja for instance, Chakrabarti in the exact same page that @Based Kashmiri cited, said," the inscriptional claim of Devapala’s subjugation of the Kambojas in the northwest is an exaggeration because the Sahi rulers were then very powerful in Punjab and the northwestern province." So clearly the creator does not know what they are talking about. AlvaKedak (talk) 13:16, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep “Chakrabarti in the exact same page that @Based Kashmiri cited, said," the inscriptional claim of Devapala’s subjugation of the Kambojas in the northwest is an exaggeration because the Sahi rulers were then very powerful in Punjab and the northwestern province." So clearly the creator does not know what they are talking about.”
No? Shah Sufi Mostafizur Rahman & Dilip K. Chakrabarti has states that A. M. Chowdhury believes that subjugation of the Kambojas may be exaggeration. However the both of them have rejected A. M. Chowdhury's theory in the next page and states We also find no difficulty in accepting the idea of a Pala raid in the Kamboja land in the northwest. and they also mentions and accept the subjugation of the Kambojas in the previous page.

I actually created and uploaded the file taking inspiration by football kits in pictures of the 90s. The logo is nowhere to find on the internet.

I noticed that another version of the logo is present on Wikipedia, though with different colour combination than the original crest. This version has a proper copyright description referring to the registration number 0001154331 at UIBM. I really don't know how to add this kind of copyright template, can someone of you change the licence of my picture to this one [[15]]? Thanks El passs (talk) 08:51, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@El passs That image is uploaded on it.wiki because it's not releasable under a free license (that logo is still copyrighted and even recreating a logo yourself does not make possibile to license it under a free license, and fair use claims - such as italian it:WP:EDP - are not allowed on Commons). Thanks, Arrow303 (talk) 09:25, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok I didn't understand 100% what you mean. Let's make it simple:

Can I upload my image with the same license of the other image already existing? It's the same kind of file (own), referring to the same UIBM registration number, just with slightly different colours in order to be closer to reality.

El passs (talk) 11:34, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@El passs (IT) Dal momento che sei italiano, ti rispondo così che ci capiamo anche meglio rispetto all'inglese. La risposta è no, perché qui (su Commons) quel tipo di licenza non è accettato.

Il presupposto è che il file è sotto copyright del Chievo Verona quindi:

- può stare su it.wiki unicamente sotto quella licenza indicata (che contrassegna comunque un file non libero e che presenta anche delle limitazioni nel suo utilizzo, proprio perché trattasi di un utilizzo limitato ed eccezionale)

- non può stare su Commons a meno che non sia talmente semplice da essere considerato semplice figura geometrica, cosa che però non è (perché Commons accetta solo materiale libero). Arrow303 (talk) 15:29, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bene dunque, se ho capito bene, posso caricare il file su it.wiki seguendo le licenze e seguendo le limitazioni del suo utilizzo (l'utilizzo è analogo a quello già presente dunque nessun problema). Ho caricato altri file e quelli credo rientrino nella semplicità delle figure geometriche. Grazie per il chiarimento. El passs (talk) 19:26, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Di conseguenza (se può valere qualcosa il parere di chi l'ha caricato) approvo la cancellazione del file su Commons, e pure del file Stemma ChievoVerona 1993-2001.png El passs (talk) 19:29, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Mosbatho: No Metadata or EXIF data is available to sustain the "own work" claim here.

The fact that an image file has no EXIF data can sometimes indicate a copyvio under certain circumstances, but definately not in this case. Oftenly, the EXIF info is automatically removed by certain programs/apps automatically, or the user has selected settings that remove EXIFs by default.

In the case of this photo, IMO it is more than obvious that it was probably taken using an older digicam or smartphone - no problem at all. The image quality is accordingly. Furthermore, the image was claimed as “own work” from the beginning by the uploader (no reason to doubt that) and there is really no proof, not even an indication, that copyvio can even begin to substantiate. Msb (talk) 16:51, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Mosbatho: Unfortunately, this has been proven multiple times on Commons, that uploaders tend to claim an image/file as "own work" despite it being not. 😕🤷‍♂️ Does this apply to every single case, though? Well, not necessarily... 🏺ⲈⲨⲐⲨⲘⲈⲚⲎⲊ🏛️ ^{ⲱⲑⲏⲥⲁⲧⲉ} 17:13, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@IronGargoyle: Unfortunately, many locally based websites or personal blogs in Greece, or websites in general, tend not to keep much archive from their past or simply disappear in the nature. This, in turn, means that - as an example - today I can download and keep a photo from a local news website, tomorrow this website in no more, and then afterwards, if the file in question can't be found anywhere else at least in equal or larger resolution, I can upload it and present it as a work of my own. I'm not saying that this is what is happening here, I'm just raising a general concern of mine, especially since I've seen quite a few websites coming and going during the most recent years in Greece, thanks to the crisis, among other factors. 😕🤷‍♂️ 🏺ⲈⲨⲐⲨⲘⲈⲚⲎⲊ🏛️ ^{ⲱⲑⲏⲥⲁⲧⲉ} 16:17, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Those are all fine arguments to bring up in a deletion request, but tagging these as "no source" when there is clearly a claimed source (own work) is problematic.

AI art for historical scenes

Keep, I see no problem with historical images. It is still in scope. If anything I think this helps people see what happens if it is a lesser known historical event. LuxembourgLover (talk) 21:55, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - AI has no place on Commons or any other Wikimedia project. By letting AI stay on this platform, we are essentially keeping what could be misinformation. AI does not know how history truly was like humans do, why should we risk it? Wheatley2 (talk) 22:41, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes AI does not know. People shouldn't just prompt "give me an image of XYZ", instead they need to engineer it to precisely show what they have in mind which should match some descriptions, like those in books about the matter. It's not the AI that makes it accurate but the human and it's no less accurate than artworks about historic events made manually. Rather than outright censorship of everything historic made using modern tools (you really don't see a problem with that?), only clearly inaccurate or low-quality ones should be deleted. Prototyperspective (talk) 22:57, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You should see how long it takes for an AI to make one of my uploads. It took hours to get one that is historically accurate, if someone trys to make a good one, we should keep it. As Prototyperspective said: “AI art for historical scenes makes sense for example for scenes for which there are no photos and maybe not even artworks.” Like my work (AI’s work) on the Lot Smith Cavalry and Morrisite War. LuxembourgLover (talk) 23:02, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is indeed in a bad state now because people unjustifiably deleted in use useful images and it was only a stub earlier. AI art for historical scenes makes sense for example for scenes for which there are no photos and maybe not even artworks. Prototyperspective (talk) 22:54, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would disagree, @Prototyperspective. AI imagined images are more likely to skew than to inform understanding of historical events, both because of less-thoughtful use of the technology when writing prompts and because of the still-significant limiations of the technology. A portrait of a hisorical event (contemporary or from later) might suffer from similar biases, but that can be mitigated through context about the painter and when they were working in a way that AI-generated images can't. —Tcr25 (talk) 19:02, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if it's more likely but it's not generally the case and probably also not sufficiently likely...that is because as things become more accessible and less expensive (good things), there is a greater likelihood of the person creating the image not being very familiar with the matter including the details. A ~~portrait~~ image of some historical event can just as well be contextualized through context about it being AI made. There is no advantage of normal paintings (made in the past or present) in that regard. Prototyperspective (talk) 19:54, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well

Keep because solid arguments for deletion are missing and if / because it can be improved. It says As just explained, AI generators still have problems with generating faces and other issues. Please keep that in mind since correcting that can require significant skills and may limit the usefulness or realism of the images. for example, so also serves to inform about issues with such images, and thus is also useful in respect to the mostly refuted arguments made in favor of deletion that seem to argue for censorship and making artworks depicting historical figures and events less accessible again. Inaccurate images of that kind should get Template:Inaccurate and be corrected, not used, and/or deleted which does not relate to this gallery whose contents have been censored or deleted in violation of the well-established important COM:SCOPE policy.

True, it shouldn't be a gallery. It wasn't meant to be a gallery but the type can be changed.

Although it was created by the artist, its copyright was transferred to San Diego Air and Space Musuem after the museum's repository earned the custody of the artwork. Hence, its no longer under the copyright of the artist but in public domain as per SDASM posting of the image in its Flickr account. Bookish Worm (talk) 05:42, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is a possibility that this logo may pass the COM:TOO due to the specific angle and shape of the figure representing the V, which could be represented as a hook as well. In that context, I prefer to open a deletion request and decide on its permanence. Taichi (talk) 22:41, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This logo has a texture that does not make it a simple figure, therefore it could be exceeding the COM:TOO. Taichi (talk) 22:50, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Logo with texture and three-dimensionality that does not make it simple, therefore it could be exceeding the COM:TOO. Taichi (talk) 22:52, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

File:Viudas-e-hijos-del-rock.jpg

Logo with different specific fonts in each letter and placed at specific angles on a very specific irregular background, therefore it could be exceeding the COM:TOO. Taichi (talk) 22:54, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The key point is not COM:TOO but COM:TOO Argentina. It helps to include the country's name, so that people checking the logos don't have to figure it out themselves. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:44, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unable to confirm the source, all images are credited to George Micro YouTube videos which do not, twelve hours after these images were uploaded, exist.

Copyright concerns per Commons:Deletion requests/Files found with @GeorgeMicro1, where George Micro appeared to be posting stills of candidates' social media footage to Twitter and incorrectly claiming them to be photos that he had personally taken. This may be the same thing but on YouTube.

Okay, the video exists. It has YouTube BY-CC Marked. What’s the problem? And also, why is Tony Jones image in here? It’s not even apart of the Debate2024. The debate would’ve been copyright claimed if none of the content was original. LordBirdWord (talk) 13:25, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Where is the video? The URL source given for all four of these images goes to a This page isn't available. Sorry about that. YouTube 404 page.

My mistake on the Tony Jones image, I see you're crediting it to the New Era Party of Florida rather to George Micro. But the YouTube link you provide for that file's source is still a 404 page. Belbury (talk) 14:12, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I’m terribly sorry. Is there an email I can send the links too? I tried sending them through here but the message wouldn’t send. LordBirdWord (talk) 23:18, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Commons filters out short links like youtu.be, so it might work to write out the full youtube.com URL. You can email via COM:VRT if not. Belbury (talk) 09:44, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I replaced the broken link with the new link in all 4 photos. LordBirdWord (talk) 22:20, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks.

The first link is a livestream of a promotional video call between several people. Is there anything that tells us that George Micro owns the copyright to that broadcast, rather than it being an upload of a livestream that he watched online?

The second link is a minute-long video of a low-end AI voice reading out a script over this static low resolution photo of Tony Jones, on a channel with no other uploads. I wouldn't have much confidence that this was the channel's own picture of Jones, from that, although I can't find the image anywhere else online. Belbury (talk) 15:45, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I actually have no idea about all of that information. I just saw CC-BY and thought that meant it was Copyright free. I deeply apologize for all of that. If these images are copyright, then please delete them. I understand, and I’m sorry for the mistake. I’m friends to George Micro, and he doesn’t know the answers to these questions as well. LordBirdWord (talk) 16:53, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Was actually gonna comment before it was closed and reopened, but

Delete the Tony Jones one, as its a crop from this photo from Jones's Facebook page. For the first one though, there is a part where the moderator Jackie Carpio thanks George Micro, so I think there's a chance that he could actually be the organizer as he claims in the description. reppop^talk 18:59, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I realized that too. George was mentioned in the beginning and the end by Jackie. Would that mean he had copyright claims? LordBirdWord (talk) 20:33, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. In the beginning and end, George Micro is directly mentioned as organizer by Jackie Carpio. LordBirdWord (talk) 17:41, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
