The White House website gives credit to Cheriss May, who is not a White House photographer or US government employee. In her interview with NBC Washington, she said it was not the First Lady’s official photo as that was yet to come. Ms. May posted on Instagram on January 29 saying that it was taken before the inauguration. I believe this is copyrighted and permission is needed from Ms. May... unless it’s another example like Melania Trump’s?

- Since this seems not to be her official portrait, I will concur that the license is incorrect. However, I believe that because it was found on the White House website, that very likely means that this falls under a CC 3.0 license, which is still compatible with Wikimedia guidelines. So, I believe that we should merely just change the licensing, instead of deleting the image outright. The Image Editor (talk) 15:51, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
- Per The Image Editor. Changing license is a better move than deleting the image. --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 18:16, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
Delete No proof that Cheriss May is an employee of the US Federal Government. Agree with the nomination, permission from Ms. May is needed. --A1Cafel (talk) 10:19, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
Keep From https://www.whitehouse.gov/copyright/: "Except where otherwise noted, third-party content on this site is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License", which is a compatible license. If Cheriss May is not an employee of the federal government, then the photo is third-party content released under the CC license. The White House asserts that she has given permission, and they tend to respect intellectual property. ― Tartan357 Talk 01:46, 21 October 2021 (UTC)- Keep The photographer's website captions this photo as "Commissioned portrait of First Lady Dr. Jill Biden on the White House website", suggesting that the White House (website) has the ability to license it as they see fit. As such, I don't think there's any concern with following the White House website's licensing statement. -M.nelson (talk) 13:38, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
Kept: per discussion. --Ellywa (talk) 20:17, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
