There are two immediate problems with this file as of right now:
- Incorrect licensing: CC-BY-SA 4.0 won't work on a prison mugshot of a deceased person. I doubt the uploader (Andrejrudz) is the owner of this image as well.
- Incorrect source: Uploader claims this image is own work, but this should be owned by the person(s) that took the photo, or the prison where the person was held. –ToxiBoi! (contribs) 20:54, 22 February 2020; edited 03:06, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
- Delete Has possibly been sourced from https://www.businessinsider.com/miguel-angel-felix-gallardo-godfather-of-mexicos-cartel-sentenced-2017-8?r=US&IR=T but the original source is the Associated Press at http://www.apimages.com/metadata/Index/Drug-War-Mexico/9043e6e008d147a08415036ac0124774/1/0 (there are three variants of this photo on their site, so this may not be the exact duplicate). The AP Image licence terms are not compatible with Commons. The image is dated as 1989 so it is still subject to the incompatible licence. From Hill To Shore (talk) 23:09, 23 February 2020 (UTC)

- Hello, I'm the uploader of the image. Since I didn't understand how the rules worked I just put it as my own work. But I changed the author and the source of the image, is it okay now? I found it on the AP Images site and the image was taken on the tenth of April 1989. The author was uncredited so I just put the prison he was incarcerated at the time of the photo. -Andrejrudz (talk) 17:57, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
- @Andrejrudz: Images that are uploaded to Commons must comply with the rules for licensing explained at Commons:Licensing. This is to avoid Wikimedia breaking any laws and ensure that anyone in the world can reuse our images in safety. Unfortunately, the AP Image licence isn't compatible with the Commons licence policy, so we won't be able to keep it. After several more decades, the photo will enter into the public domain and can be uploaded again at that time. I expect that this will be a little frustrating, but we have to comply with the policy. You could try to convince AP Images to release the image under a more suitable licence but as that will go against their business model, I doubt that you would be successful.
