Authors of the article are not the copyright holders of the photo.~The license hardly applies. FunkMonk (talk) 01:53, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Is that just your opinion or do you have credible evidence for your claim? The image has been published on PLoS ONE under the Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 Generic license. PLoS ONE is a credible and well-known scientific publishing website, therefore the license applies in my opinion and I don't see any reason for its deletion.

Well, the photo was taken by Marcelin Flandrin in 1925. This means that the authors of the paper did not create the image and therefore can not decide on what license it should have, almost a century later. FunkMonk (talk) 14:52, 3 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
