Irfan Hussain died in 1999. Uploader claims it as own work. Kenfyre (talk) 16:55, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
Hello Editors, yes it is obvious that Irfan Hussain died in 1999, and we claimed the image as "Own work / collection" (as standard wording) but in the description very well clearly written, when and by whom it is created (obviously Cartoon By Irfan Hussain). Here let us describe further detail which we cant able to mention here. Cartoonist Irfan Hussain and Shekhar Gurera both were close friends and were colleague in same publications, The Pioneer in between 1991-1997 and most of the original art-works (cartoons) drawn while being in that publication are preserved collectively and now with Mr Gurera. Since we are here to preserve proper and authentic information at wikipedia so while knowing the facts of proper source of contents about the person who has been died in 1999, we contacted Mr Gurera to help us. On request and assurance of proper use of Irfan's work, Mr Gurera provided us and allowed us the scanned copies from the original for the cause. We think and expect that team will soften their norms in this particular situation and will rethink about the Commons:Deletion requests.

Deleted: This cartoon is still under copyright and will be for many years (probably until 2069). The only way it can be restored on Commons is if the copyright owner, Irfan Hussain's heir, sends a free license to OTRS. . Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 09:59, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
