File:Minarqutub8.jpg

[edit]

Doubtful origin. See Metadata. CREATOR: gd-jpeg v1.0 (using IJG JPEG v62), default quality Rillke(q?) 17:55, 16 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

 Keep: I'm inclined to give the uploader the benefit of the doubt. The image doesn't turn up in Google Image Search results, and the uploader could have reduced the size of his or her own photograph before uploading it. However, the file should be renamed as it shows the Taj Mahal, not the Qutub Minar. — SMUconlaw (talk) 18:49, 16 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Scaled down using gd-jpeg, which is server software? It would be great if the author would comment here, or upload the original. -- Rillke(q?) 20:19, 16 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep -- with all due respect to the nominator, a lack of exif data IS NOT proof of copyvio; & if we are going to establish such a standard, then it needs to be done as a policy change via community-discussion & vote. the uploader (who is new) has made the effort to defend their work (@ the village pump, upload help, & in another DR), & has adequately explained the sourcing. this image is consistent in subject & geography with their other contributions, some of which ARE the original-quality photographs, with exif data.
it is NOT incumbent upon uploaders to provide commons with the "best quality" versions of their work. it's nice when they do that, but they don't HAVE TO. they'd don't actually have to provide us with anything at all...
if the nominator is asking about the software used as a matter of technical interest, perhaps that should be done on the uploader's talk page instead?
(tangentially, i can think of many circumstances where an uploader might want or NEED to remove exif data from their files, which have NOTHING TO DO WITH COPYVIO.)

AND USE GD-JPEG v1.0 on a SERVER to scale their files down; anyway, seeing the other user's uploads and given the fact that they asked at the village pump and particularly the explanation that a cloud server was involved at another deletion request sounds plausible so I  withdraw this deletion request. I apologize for the inconvenience. -- Rillke(q?) 07:09, 17 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Kept: Full version uploaded with plausible Metadata, also plausible explanation for former Metadata Rillke(q?) 16:01, 17 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for giving me the benefit of doubt. I have uploaded the original image. Thanks again for being very considerate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Prakash.saivasan (talk • contribs) 16:40, 17 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
