- Delete for sure its description is false, stating that Reytan is its author and only brief information that "copyrights were granted by the owner" is provided. Second, it doesn't provide any information who is its original author and when and where it was created, therefore, basing on lack of any informations about it, I'd recommend to delete it. Masur (talk) 12:27, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
- Comment We do know when it was created - the description says 1920. It may be {{PD-Polish}} as there is no copyright notice on the image itself, so the picture was not protected by the Copyright Act of 1926 (I don't know anything about earlier laws). Consequently, it was not protected by the law of 1952 and is not protected today. But then, of course, you will again claim that we don't know if it was altered or not, etc. etc. --Botev (talk) 14:25, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

By far this photograph fails the requirements of Template talk:PD-Chile. However, it is uploaded as own work, so maybe {{PD-self}} was intended? I will not guess here, the image is missing a proper license tag. Martin H. (talk) 06:58, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
- Own work is unlikely here, a quick google search for Jorge Arrate brings a lot of hits for this images and some of them are most likely not images taken from Commons. So a permission would be a second requirement. --Martin H. (talk) 07:02, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Derivative work. There is no evidence the poster was designed in Afghanistan, that the photo of bin Laden was taken there and the twin towers photo in the background certainly wasn't taken there. --Liftarn (talk) 21:39, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
- Keep — I suspect the contributor who nominated this image means that the Navy photographer who took this snapshot of a poster of Osama bin Laden is violating Osama bin Laden's intellectual property rights. I am not sure I fully understand the rules on "derivative works". But I have participated in over a dozen discussions of the copyright status of images from Afghanistan. All these discussions have reached a consensus that images from Afghanistan are not protected by copyright. This comes up often enough that I have started suggesting the wikimedia foundation get an intellectual property lawyer to offer a professional opinion on this question. If images made in Afghanistan are not protected by copyright no one's intellectual property rights are being tread upon by this image. Geo Swan (talk) 23:09, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
- There are many issues here. The person who took the photo of UBL has a copyright on it. Then there is the background photo that someone has a copyright to. Then there is the various small images, but they look like clipart so that's probably not an issue. Then the person designing the poster has a copyright on it. That the photo was taken in Afghanistan does not reqire that the poster was designed or published there. // Liftarn (talk) 17:27, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
- The person who took the photo was a GI -- an employee of the US Federal Government, who took the photo in performance of his or her duties. Such photos are always in the public domain. Geo Swan (talk) 21:43, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

- Comment The photo is public domain. But it is still a derivative work of the poster (which is clearly the subject of the picture). Even if we can be sure that is in the public domain it is itself a derivative work of the photo of Osama (and there's no reason to suspect that's anything other than copyrighted). Does anyone want to claim that the picture of bin Laden is de minimis in this final photograph? (That's not a rhetorical question). --Simonxag (talk) 10:45, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
- The photo may be PD, but it's a derivative work of the poster. The poster may be under copyright. And also the poster consist of elements that also may be copyrighted. // Liftarn (talk) 18:05, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
- Comment A better version is now available File:Bin Laden Poster.jpeg 92.227.2.47 17:30, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

- Keep I don't know about the technical legal jargon, but as this image is admitted to be clearly in the public domain both in the US and the country of origin for our purposes, I don't understand the fuss. I don't particularly care whether Al Qaeda infringed the original photographer's copyright (assuming he had one, since the picture was clearly taken in Afghanistan), or whether the US Navy infringed Al Qaeda's. RayAYang (talk) 14:54, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
- Last time I checked the WTC towers were in New York, not Afghanistan. Do you have information about the country of origin? It might very well be designed and printed in Pakistan for instance. We can't just ignore copyright because you don't like the person in the photo. // Liftarn (talk) 18:05, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
- Oh. I thought you were referring to the image of Bin Laden, which is clearly the most prominent portion of the poster. I'm completely prepared to say that the picture of the twin towers, being as it is to the side and mixed in with a cartoon drawing, is not terribly significant to the main creative message of this piece of propaganda. Certainty as to country of design and printing is kinda irrelevant here - as of the best of our information, it was published and distributed in Afghanistan, and that is the context in which it was found. RayAYang (talk) 01:23, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
- I would say the country of origin is quite important. Otherwise you could just take any copyrighted image to Afghanistan, make a copy of it and claim it to be public domain. // Liftarn (talk) 23:56, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
- Only if you could plausibly claim it hadn't appeared elsewhere. I think you're asking for a level of proof that's not going to be possible to provide. The photo is Public Domain in the US, in Afghanistan (the apparent country of origin), and there appear for all practical purposes to be no legal impediment to its retention on Commons. If Al Qaeda chooses to file suit against Wikimedia, then we can revisit. RayAYang (talk) 22:42, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
- The work of the photographer is PD. but since it's a derivative work it may very well not be public domain. // Liftarn (talk) 18:18, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

- Keep – It would work better in the Osama bin Laden article than the entire poster. It is more concise than the entire poster. —Siddharth Patil (talk) 21:21, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
- Keep – I also don't understand the fuss. The U.S. government states where this image is from (see link), so why is there a reason to question the licensing. Isn't the US government the one who decided copyright law? Even if the Twin towers are shown, the government has stated that the work is from Afghanistan. The submitter describes where the image came from, how it was found and why it is public domain. I think it is more descriptive than a lot of images on Wikipedia that no one seems to think should be deleted. It contains all needed information and in some ways far exceeds the needed information and therefore qualifies under the current Afghanistan licensing and even other US government licensing that is not shown here. I have yet to read a reason that I agree with here as to why it shouldn’t be kept. ARTEST4ECHO (talk) 13:52, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
OK, let me reiterate and sum up the issue here. This picture has multiple layers of copyright issues.
- The copyright of the photo. Taken by a US GI ao it's PD. No problem there.
- The copyright of the poster. Unknown creator, may be under copyright.
- The copyright of the bin Laden photo. Unknown creator, probably under copyright.
- The copyright of the twin towers. Unknown creator, may be under copyright.
- The plane images. Look like clipart. Probably not under copyright.

[edit]All images uploaded by this user seem to be copyvios. I have been aware of this for a short time now, but I have given the uploader the benefit of the doubt. Many of his/her uploads have already been deleted, and I have no doubt the others are invalid too. I can safely say this as this user has uploaded images of cars photographed in South Korea, China, Australia, various parts of Europe and many other countries suggesting these all come of the internet. Unless this user is extremely well travelled, I don't believe that these images are valid. The mostly web resolution sizes do not help the uploader's case either.

According to the image description This image is a reconstruction of a work currently in the public domain according to the Chilean law.

- Very strange, the Spanish text does act of homage, but that doesn't make sense, this is just a photo of a woman, how could it be a re-creation of anything? In any case, if it is an original photograph, I don't think the fact that it's a re-creation could make it a derivative work, there's nothing inherently notable here.

- 1963<1968. They can claim later copyright all they want, the original issues from 1963 are public domain now. -Nard the Bard 21:26, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
- Let's put it this way: Iron Man is a character of Marvel Comics, and both ones (the company and the publication and active commercial use of the character) have been steadily taking place from that date to this day. Any comic book you can take with Iron Man as a character of it will have a disclaimer like the ones provided, or other in the same lines. To justify the statement that the character is in the public domain (wich is a high statement), you would need more than just a webpage where "Tales of Suspense" is not listed (see the disclaimers in the top: there may be omisions). Better than that, I would like a source that explicitly states that. Belgrano (talk) 21:56, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

- I find that hard to believe... considering I have a modern comic book that includes Iron Man with this same appearence, and credits say "The characters included in this issue, NEW AVENGERS, and the distinctive likeness thereof are properties of Marvel Characters, Inc. All rights reserved.". And even more, I do have as well "Biblioteca Marvel: Iron Man", reprints in Spain of this early issues you talk about, and have similar credits: "Copyright © 1968/1969 Marvel Characters Inc.

Delete The picture was created under Freedom of Panorama which is fine. The statue, being fan art was not created with permission and (if Iron Man is copyrighted) that makes this a copyright violation and probably makes the picture a copyright violation too. I'd say that to keep the picture we need to establish as a fact (that would stand up in the US courts) that Iron Man is public domain. Isn't it odd that other publishers have never tried to cash in on this character if it's free for all to use. --Simonxag (talk) 10:33, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
Comment I don't believe that Iron Man or Tales of Suspense have ever fallen into the public domain, so the point would be moot, but if that was the case, this, this or this would be much more better options to use than a fan-made statue Belgrano (talk) 19:12, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
Deleted, this file looks as it has been inspired by the film. The original Iron Man comics would indeed seem PD-US-not-renewed. Kameraad Pjotr 15:32, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
Template talk:PD-Chile makes it required that the author of the photograph died before September 16, 1962. This photographs was taken in May 1962, an author is not acknowledged. It is extremely unlikely that the photographer died within 4 month after he made this photo. Martin H. (talk) 07:18, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
- {{PD-Chile}} says that, when the author is unknownn or not acnowledged, the picture is in the public domain if the picture was published befkre Sept 1962. And that's the case. The picture comes from a magazine (Revista Gol a Gol), published in August 1962 to be exact [6]. --B1mbo (talk) 18:20, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
- Question If you know such a good source - Is there any reason you left your upload totaly unsourced? Question2: What efforts did you do to find out the author? "Anonymous" means that the author never disclosed his identity. It not means that only one source not knows or not documented the author. Did someone ask that newspaper or magazine or that archive e.g.? Thats a required effort to determine the copyright status. --Martin H. (talk) 23:23, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
- To the first question, it was three years ago when there wasn't all the current regulations and templates that are today here in Commons. Besides, I wasn't an expert about it... certainly, it wasn't because I was trying intentionally to left totally unsourced the image. About the second question, the image isn't "anonymous"... it's just that its author is not acknowledge; probably, the rights of the image belong to the magazine and not to the photographer, and in that case it's used the limit of 1962. But, asking to a disappeared magazine about one of their photographers is something I would say it's quite difficult. --B1mbo (talk) 00:44, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

- Comment The German text claims that it was derived from one of the images on de:Rot-Grün-Sehschwäche. The uploader there was de:Benutzer:Bautsch. There, there are similar images, with the German license tag de:Vorlage:Bild-PD-Schöpfungshöhe which claims "Diese Datei erreicht nicht die für einen urheberrechtlichen Schutz nötige Schöpfungshöhe." (the linked English en:Template:PD-ineligible is not an exact translation but has "This image is ineligible for copyright and therefore is in the public domain, because it consists entirely of information that is common property and contains no original authorship.") They also have a warning that this may not be compatible with Commons policies: "Diese Datei ist möglicherweise nicht mit den Richtlinien von Wikimedia Commons kompatibel." -84user (talk) 03:31, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Kolokol unified discussion
[edit]The following deletion requests all relate to a non-notable organization Колокол (Kolokol). An article about them was deleted from the Russian Wikipedia. The question is whether any of these images may have value independent of whether that organization is notable. Andrei Romanenko has proposed deleting them all; I think most are potentially useful for some educational purpose or will be of historical interest (even given that the organization is not, itself, notable). After some discussion with him (on his talk page) I've created this page so that there is a place to comment on them collectively, since the issues are generally the same. - Jmabel ! talk 05:41, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

- Assuming there is no rights issue, I can't think of a reason to delete this. I wouldn't normally expect a photo exhibition (or really any one exhibition or performance) to be of encyclopedic notability, but in general if we can have posters for such things that don't have rights issues, they would seem to me to fall within Commons' scope. - Jmabel ! talk 04:21, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
