The photo is not of Bert Hoselitz unfortunately but of John Nash. I'm coauthoring an article about Hoselitz for the English Wikipedia; my coauthors know for certain this photo shows Nash. We can't find a public domain photo of Hoselitz but I'm told by a writer about Hoselitz (who knew him) that by this age Hoselitz was balding in front. The account that posted this image has not posted other images on Commons nor to the Polish Wikipedia since 2009. Econterms (talk) 23:15, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]


Kept: A bad name is not a reason to delete. Please use {{Rename}} and change the description appropriately.      Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 13:02, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No reliable permissions info. The source info is a dead link. The |account which uploaded it has not participated in Wikipedia project for 2.5 years. The photo is not of Bert Hoselitz, as discussed at the previous deletion request. Therefore the category information was wrong and I have removed it. It was suggested at the previous deletion request to rename this image instead of deleting it, but we do not have any reason to use this image, or any page actively linking to it -- because we do not know when or where it was taken. We are not short of photos of John Nash and we need not officially make a guess that this is a photo of him and it does not seem plausible that it is a photo of any other particular person. I have good info from en:User:DavidFrankMitch that it is not Bert Hoselitz however. Econterms (talk) 15:24, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
