Commons:Deletion requests/File:Cheryl Miller actress Daktari.jpg
"I received this photo after contacting the actress about adding an image to her Wikipedia article and she sent me a few images which she had approved and also signed a Public Domain release license for the images on the Commons site." is given as source. But sorry, this can not work. Until smoe days Miller was also names as photographer. But no, she is not. She did not the images and sorry, she also will not own the rights. Giving some images of myself I like is not the same as to have the right to do so. In the 1960 nobody cared about such rights, so it is so unlikely, that Miller had today the rights. Phtographer is definetly not dead since 70 years, so we also can not use this as a way. Until there's a proof of the freedom of the image, we must seen it as unfree.

Delete per COM:PRP. But note there are actually multiple ways this could really be acceptable. For one it is not at all unlikely that the contract with the photographer specified a transfer of title to the actress. That depends on whether she commissioned this headshot herself, or whether it was arranged by her management, or possibly a studio. We can't know, so PRP applies, but it is absolutely possible. Second, the photo may well have been published (for copyright purposes) without a copyright notice before the cutoff when notice was no longer needed. This kind of photo was often distributed for publicity or conceivably also sold (signed, typically), and experience shows that a lot of them did not bother about copyright formalities. --Xover (talk) 19:43, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
