This file was initially tagged by Futuretrillionaire as Copyvio (copyvio) and the most recent rationale was: No evidence that this is PD in the US. Image needs to be PD in the US, not just China INeverCry 20:44, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
Comment 1955; my understanding is that back then media actually had to have a US Copyright listing filed to be under US copyright. Any reason to suspect this would have been copyrighted in the USA? -- Infrogmation (talk) 22:00, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
- I found this file is a United Press International one, as indicated in a book by Michel Peissel. This is the same for File:Dalai mao colour1.jpg. I have asked HJ Mitchell to restore this last file so that it can be included in the discussion here. In order to verify that this file is a UPI one, I search on UPI website, but did not find it. I suggest to verify. However, double thinking about this, it does not mean that UPI has a copyright on it. It may simply be that the image is in a data bank at UPI. As a matter of fact, I also found it in an AFP data bank, labelled as "Crédit Photo : AFP", suggesting it is an AFP photo. --Rédacteur Tibet (talk) 22:19, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
Delete Assuming this is a Chinese work, as implied by the license, COM:HIRTLE for "Works Published Abroad Before 1976" provides only two scenarios in which this work would be PD before 2050 (1955 publication + 95 yr term) - 1) published without compliance with US formalities and PD in China as of 1.1.1996. This fails because the work is only PD in China as of 2005 (1955 publication + 50 yr term) and 2) published in the US within 30 days of publication in China, in which case US publication rules would determine PD status. Absent evidence related to publication date in the US (1955 itself may only be creation date), COM:PRP compels deletion.

- File:Choekyi Gyaltsen.jpg is also concerned then, as it is a part of the same photo.--Rédacteur Tibet (talk) 19:28, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

- Transfer notes: Assuming reasonably that China is nation of first publication, is PD in China by PD-China and PD in Canada by rule of shorter term. Dcoetzee (talk) 19:30, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
