Scanned image of an old postcard is tagged with {{PD-Old}}. There's no author or source given, other than "scanned," so it is impossible to tell who the author was, or whether he/she died 70+ years ago. The uploader states that the image is from the 1930s, which makes not very likely to be PD-Old. --Blargh29 (talk) 17:47, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

Keep Probably {{PD-US-no renewal}} if there ever was a copyright notice. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 19:52, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
- You have no basis for suggesting that. This is a commercial postcard, so it is highly likely that a copyright note was placed on the card -- probably on the back side. The back side will also have the author or company name and the publication date, which we need in order to check for copyright renewals. The uploader failed to provide us with enough information to prove that it was PD, so the Commons:Project scope/Precautionary principle policy ("where there is significant doubt about the freedom of a particular file it should be deleted") requires us to delete.--Blargh29 (talk) 16:40, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
Delete No evidence it's in public domain. Secret (talk) 18:20, 15 December 2009 (UTC)- Many, though certainly not all, US postcards of this era are PD for one reason or another; some for no copyright notice on the printing, others from non renewal. However we don't have enough information to establish the facts in this particular case. The uploader seems not to have been active for more than a year. The current copyright claim tag is wrong. Unless we can get additional information to correct it, which seems unlikely unless some other user has another copy of the original card, I regret we probably ought to delete this.
- Change to Keep per additional info mentioned below. -- Infrogmation (talk) 21:53, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
- Change to
- Keep Image is a derivative of File:Duquesneoldcampus.png, which is now a confirmed PD-US no notice. See Commons:Deletion requests/File:Duquesneoldcampus.png for details.--Blargh29 (talk) 19:28, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
Kept. Closing nomination as nominator has removed delete template from image, and additional info from related deletion request seems to establish PD status of image. -- Infrogmation (talk) 21:56, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
