This is a derivative work; COM:DM does not apply in this situation because the main part of this work is the copyrighted material. Magog the Ogre (talk) 21:57, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

•  Question (see below) Can we find the original portrait of Jimbo used in the ad? The ad is nothing but the photograph with a text caption that adds no originality. If the portrait of Jimbo is freely licensed, then this file is OK, and if the advertiser complains, it will backfire on them. (Normally I wouldn't even bother with the possibility — but it's Jimbo's portrait and Jimbo's words, so the chances are unusually good.) --Closeapple (talk) 01:57, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

  On the other hand, now on en:User talk:Jimbo Wales#Diamond watches and the encyclopedia that anyone can edit en:User talk:Jimbo Wales/Archive 75#Diamond watches and the encyclopedia that anyone can edit, it is pointed out that versions of this ad, with the portrait, have appeared in magazines and several other places as well. Looks like this may be a legitimate ad campaign by an established watch company. --Closeapple (talk) 02:07, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

• Comment from uploader: I tried to alleviate copyright concerns by uploading in extremely low resolution, and perhaps should have uploaded under fair use instead, as I only meant this to be used for discussion at Jimbo's talk page. I'd be grateful if deletion could wait at least until Jimbo's had a chance to respond at his talk page. After that, anyone can see essentially the same image here. Presumably this image at Wikipedia would need to be deleted for the same reason. Adrian J. Hunter (talk) 03:11, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
  • I've added {{db-author}} to both pics. Adrian J. Hunter 11:49, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
•  Delete per Adrian J. Hunter's request and note by Jimbo in en:User talk:Jimbo Wales/Archive 75#Diamond watches and the encyclopedia that anyone can edit implying that the main image shown in the photo was a commercial shoot. --Closeapple 13:56, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

Deleted: Copyviolating DW as per Jimbo's comment on :en and per the fact that this Jimbo portrait isn't on Comons. Túrelio 16:28, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
