"Vnunet.com" obviously is not the name of the photographer, but a website. Also the webpage given as source does not show the image and has no copyright info. 2A00:20:500F:884E:0:5B:45D:D01 00:19, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
- Well spotted. I see no evidence of the claimed license at archive.org copies of the blog post "source". I have alerted the original uploader on en:W to this discussion (although I see no indication they are currently active in the project). Note: Image has been on Commons since 2008 and is wide use across projects. File:IBM 350 RAMAC disk mechanism.agr.jpg seems to be our closest alternative image; I suggest it be used to replace this image in usage before deleting this image. -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 13:56, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
- I took the photo at the time for the Siliconvalleysleuth.com blog that I wrote for Vnunet.com, and was authorized to release the photo under a CC attribution-required-share-alike license. I stopped writing for the blog in December 2007 and the blog was discontinued in 2008. Let me know if there is anything I need to do to ensure that the photo is properly catalogued. --Vladnik (talk) 15:09, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
Keep As I understand, User:Vladnik is the uploader and photographer, and vnunet was their own blog. I suggest you edit the image page to make it clearer that you took the photo. (Also, might you have a higher resolution version of your photo?) -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 15:27, 7 August 2021 (UTC)- Keep Agree with User:Infrogmation. Also not the image is not that of the 350 but only a portion of the unit that is displayed at the CHM. Tom94022 (talk) 04:43, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
Kept: no valid reason for deletion. --Polarlys (talk) 21:25, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
