 Keep in use, in scope. Multichill (talk) 12:52, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
 Delete Out of respect for the author, and because the image is way too low of quality to be of any educational use. From COM:SCOPE, "[Images] must be realistically useful for an educational purpose". This image doesn't fit the scope. Killiondude (talk) 22:41, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
 Delete Per KD. Respect the author and recognize the quality is not high enough for use. Jennavecia (Talk) 22:48, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Converted from a speedy by KOMM (talk · contribs) for "The persons on the foto claimed their personal image rights violated and insist, that the photo should not be distributed any more" to rfd by me, as I see no basis for a personality rights claim with this photo. --Túrelio (talk) 08:27, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It would certainly be a border case. The image is actually mainly used in the context of cycling and not for illustration of the landscape. Therefore the persons are additionally in focus and they are recognisable. As a public body the city of Linz prefers to oblige its citizens and not to enter legal disputes, if it is avoidable.KOMM (talk) 10:20, 22 October 2009 (UTC)KOMM[reply]
@KOMM, is this pre-emptive or were there actually complaints? If there were complaints, did all or only 1 person file a complaint? If only 1 complained, it would be interesting to know whether it was the person at the right side, because then she could be cut away. In addition, are the personality rights-laws in Austria more strict than those in Germany? --Túrelio (talk) 10:43, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
There are actual complaints! The whole group requested that. we used the photo ourselves for marketing purpose and we agreed with them to end this use - the photo is "banned" off our archives. but they also complained, that the photo is used on wikipedia and on various websites. Therefore we request the delition. Otherwise a legal dispute can be assumed, it is also not in our interest to scare away tourists (even if they are no citizens). KOMM (talk) 09:43, 23 October 2009 (UTC)KOMM[reply]
Ok, I understand. Could you offer us a comparable photo as substitute? (not a requirement, but this might ease a courtesy deletion, as I see no real legal basis for their complaint. Detailed german-language Wikipedia-article about Recht am eigenen Bild). --Túrelio (talk) 09:56, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I could offer the following picture of the Donauradweg as substitute. The persons on this photo have verifiable agreed to the use.KOMM (talk) 12:06, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
 Keep In use - the cyclists are not identified and not really recognizable; the amount of packing suggests that they may not be from Linz. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 14:13, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
 Keep deletion request seems nonsense: the cyclists are so hard to identify that if there have indeed been objections, they are as likely to have come from other cyclists who have falsely identified themselves as from those actually pictured. --Simonxag (talk) 19:50, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
No, the rfd is not nonsense. I have no reason to doubt the above statement of the original author of this image, User:KOMM, that "the whole group (of cyclists) requested" to stop the use of that image not only for their own (official tourist office of Linz, Austria) marketing purposes, but also on Wikipedia etc. They even have offered a substitute image.
Of course, we could say, that's your problem, not ours. What would be the consequence of that? We, or at least some users here, could proudly say, we stick to our principles. But we will never again get any image from this institution, they will likely communicate that to their peers, and they will likely appeal to Jimbo or the WMF. Even if you don't care for the people who have contributed images to Commons, think again which decision would be more in the interest of Commons. --Túrelio (talk) 20:29, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
 Delete Deleting here would merely be working with the needs of one of our contributors, who offered in the image in good faith and are asking for its deletion due to reasons beyond its control.--Prosfilaes (talk) 16:34, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, but the request by the bicyclists seems very silly. The photographer of a naked dancer that is requesting deletion has much better reasons, and is just getting a disgraceful response. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 17:11, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

 Neutral We have here a low-quality picture of a user's garden (and house), by a user that uploaded a couple things in July and came back three months later to ask that this one be deleted.

Not a real photo, copyright status unclear. Previously it was deleted from English wikipedia, [2] but it was moved here from the Russian wikipedia. I can repeat the same thing I said there. This file is clearly a made up picture, created by photoshop or painted, and the painter was not a skilled artist. The copyright status of this image is not clear, as the the consent of the person who created the image has not been demonstrated, and the encyclopedic value of the image is also questionable, as it is not a historic photograph, but a recent creation.

 Keep another of these deletion requests for this one artist. There's something wrong here. We have loads of publicity type shots from performers and personalities and the standard email we send to tehm to request these asks them to license the image, not to provide permission from the photographer. We (just like every paper and magazine) assume that an artist having publicity shots done, gets (at least) permission to do with them as they wish.

 Delete Many other pictures from Mazda MX-3: File:1995 Mazda MX-3 Heck.jpg, File:Mazda MX-3 front 20080820.jpg... --El-Bardo (talk) 12:03, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
 Keep Once I reverted the picture uploaded by Cluke over the old picture and restored the old metadata, it becomes clear that this has been on Wikimedia servers for four years, originally uploaded by Cluke. It's unreasonable, at this point in time, for him to expect a courtesy deletion.--Prosfilaes (talk) 14:10, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion required on copyright status. Before deletion I would like some confirmation on how to interpret copyright for this image.

The original photograph has been taken by an anonymous photographer and is now 71 years old, hence the normal copyright conditions have expired. However Lambeth Archives claim to have made the photograph available to the public in their archives from 2003. The photograph has subsequently been used in a book and published in a newspaper (by other people/organizations). On the basis that they made the anonymous photo available to the public (though not actually published by them) they claim that the 70 year rule no longer applies and the photograph cannot be made public domain without their permission and their new copyright will not expire until 70 years after being made available (i.e. 2073). They have referenced Padfield's book on copyright for archivists (ISBN 9781856046046), which I have checked but I am unclear whether this interpretation is actually supported by enforceable case-law or is a generous interpretation for archives.

In respect of their interpretation I have put the image up for deletion but would like some clarification if this is the normal interpretation for anonymous photographs over 70 years old on Wikimedia Commons. Using common sense, it seems odd that anyone could, for example, randomly find a second-hand anonymous photograph reaching 70 years old, publish it on their blog (hence making it available to the public), and from that point on claim that they own the copyright for the next 70 years. —Speedoguy (talk) 14:16, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I do not see how more than 25 years of en:publication rights could be claimed. And such rights should then belong to the copyright holder of the book - not to the archive. The Lambeth Archives should know where they got this from. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 23:27, 13 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
As 30 days has past since I raised this request, I guess the matter is not straightforward. Perhaps someone can recommend an authoritative source to contrast with Padfield's book (above) which may either support Padfield's interpretation of copyright or discount it?—Speedoguy (talk) 09:26, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Kept, if the archives are not the copyright holder, they have no basis to claim copyright. Kameraad Pjotr 19:37, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Unencylopaedic content, delete per COM:SCOPE. Inductiveload (talk) 15:24, 22 October 2009 (UTC)  Comment It's also unused, needless to say. Inductiveload (talk) 15:31, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

 Keep encyclopedic content, if all unused conted get deleted ... i suggest we find out, this is no serious argument too :-) Bunnyfrosch (talk) 16:33, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There is a law that says you can not show identifiable information (private number plates of vehicles) on the Internet, if not the owner of the car.

 Comment Uh? De minimis is about copyright, not privacy (again, the problem, if any, is not with the "Lanos" plate). -- IANEZZ  (talk) 15:12, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment The license plate on the far right is missing a number. --Prosfilaes (talk) 17:05, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
 Keep what law? where? Even if such a law exists, we can still easily edit out those details rather than delete the image.--Prosfilaes (talk) 17:05, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
 Keep If anyone can produce evidence of such a law, just blur out the license plate. This would apply to a lot of car pictures. --rimshottalk 18:02, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]


Kept, allthough I do not doubt the law exists, the licence plate is barely readable. Kameraad Pjotr 19:42, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
