TinEye image searches show some of "yamaha_gangsta"'s Flickr uploads appearing elsewhere on the Internet. Although I could not find original copy of this specific image, uploader's Flickr unconvincing photostream consists of random images mostly related to protests in Egypt. Seems to be a case of license laundering. Karppinen (talk) 19:12, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
Keep TinEye image searches shows that is not true [1]. and also unless you can back your claim that there is another image that happens to be the original image, the image should stay. -- The Egyptian Liberal (talk) 00:46, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
Comment There is absolute proof that Flickr user has copied images from elsewhere and posted them in Flickr. Some examples: this photograph can be found from Wael Ghonim's Twitter, this photograph is work of Associated Press, copy of this photograph can be found here, this photograph was from here, this photograph is work of Reuters and this photograph was originally from here. I wouldn't trust a Flickr user who has uploaded mostly copyright violations. Although I could not find evidence that this particular image was taken from somewhere else, the poor quality and lack of metadata from camera are enough to raise suspicion. --Karppinen (talk) 10:54, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
Deleted: License laundering and no OTRS permission received. – Adrignola talk 18:56, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
