File:KRANT M.L.VERMA.jpg

This is clearly Photoshopped and the uploader has a long history of self-promotional copyvios etc. I'll list some later but a glance at their talk page demonstrates it. I'm not convinced this is own work. Sitush (talk) 07:06, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

Every single image ever uploaded by Krant M. L. Verma, over a prolonged period of time, has ended up being deleted here and at en-WP. They are indefinitely banned from en-WP and 3-month banned from Hindi WP for competence issues. Some of the past deletions have been taken from book covers - eg: this one - and this 'shopped image looks like just the sort of thing that would appear on the back of a book. In any event, it seems unlikely that he took the portrait that has been superimposed on the background - he would need a self-timer for that and his image manipulation skills are practically zero, per past deletions of derived/composite materials. No way is this his own work. - Sitush (talk) 07:14, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

Please see the Matadata column of this file. It was photoshopped on 24 May 2006. A smaller version of this file is given by me on my blog whose link has also been provided on my User:Krantmlverma's page. If the User Profile is not sufficient for verification then tell me what else you and your community require? Krantmlverma (talk) 08:07, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

Who Photoshopped it? It is unlikely that you did because you have uploaded much more recent work that would have benefited from Photoshop or a similar program but was instead manipulated in a very naive manner (sorry, I can't think of a better word right now). Who gave you permission to use it on your blog? - Sitush (talk) 15:12, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

@Krantmlverma, who has shot the original photo? Is the original photo available on the web? Who made the photoshopping? --Túrelio (talk) 08:25, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

The background photo is a random non-free photo grabbed from the web, and as a derivative of that, this is a {{Copyvio}}, so  Delete. —LX (talk, contribs) 14:29, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

 Delete, as the foreground ('raster') seems to be a scan or a 'screenshot', so imho no 'own work', regards, Roland zh 18:41, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
