Commons:Deletion requests/File:ATTEONE SBRANATO DAI CANI 001.jpg
Seen at this auction house as (in Hungarian) Ismeretlen XIX. századi - Diana a vadászaton = "Unknown, 19th century - Diana, hunting": French village pump doubts this would be a Titian copy with a different name and suspects a hoax on w:it: and w:en:. This should be investigated by contributors more knowledgeable in art. Oliv0 (talk) 18:57, 8 July 2013 (UTC) Update from French village pump: the original Titian is The Death of Actaeon = File:Actaeon.jpg, this one is a rather bad copy and its real origin should be explained so that it could be kept as "legitimately in use" or "realistically useful for an educational purpose".

On hold for now until the deletion discussions of the articles using this file have been completed in English and in Italian, sorry for having been too quick. Oliv0 (talk) 10:01, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
Kept: procedural close. Renominate it accordingly once the deletion discussions of the article(s) using the file are complete FASTILY 20:48, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
Renominated as requested: the former attribution to Titian by Nyflod is suspected to be an original synthesis of unspecified sources (see automatic translation of the archived original Italian article here) and this has led to the deletion of the articles using this file on w:it: and on w:en:. The only use of this file has been to attribute to a well-known master a painting auctioned in 2009 at a starting price of 196€ ($261), probably for a deceptive purpose, and this is out of COM:SCOPE of being "realistically useful for an educational purpose".
Nyflod (talk · contribs) also uploaded:
- File:Santa Barbara-Parmigianino Tondo.tif from which Zserghei made File:Parmigianino - Tondo di santa Barbara.jpg
- File:GUIDO RENI - TESTA DI DONNA CON TURBANTE 003.tif from which Zserghei made File:Guido Reni - Testa di Donna con Turbante.jpg
- File:San Sebastiano (Lorenzo Lippi).jpg
.jpg&action=edit&redlink=1){kind=link}
and these, just as the present File:ATTEONE SBRANATO DAI CANI 001.jpg, have had no other use than to write Wikipedia articles asserting attribution to a well-known painter of works unknown in all catalogues so far, which some contributors considered plain and repeated attempt at art fraud (see the French Village pump and Italian and English AFD links above). So the question is: what is the policy about such uploads, just change the title to express doubts and keep the file, or rather delete the file? Oliv0 (talk) 11:26, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
