File:Vince lombardi 1964 photo.jpg

Original source of publication not provided, so impossible to state that no copyright notice was posted with its publication. To elaborate, just because a copy of this was found on eBay, does not mean that is the original source of publication that a copyright status can be determined. Moreso, this was obviously cut out of something printed, likely a book. Without that book, the existing license and copyright status cannot be determined. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 23:25, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

Are you being serious? The source shows clearly an ORIGINAL photo with no copyright notice on front and reverse. By the way, have you seen that photo published on a book or newspaper to state it was already printed? Your statement "this was obviously cut out of something printed, likely a book" seems to be an assumption rather than a proven fact, unless you have further evidence to support your arguments.

This is one of the most absurd DR I've been involved with, and to be sincere, a real waste of time for me. Fma12 (talk) 01:05, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

Just for clarity's sake, it is the uploader's responsibility to prove the copyright of an image. And it is obviously cut from something, the white border on the eBay version you got this from only exists on the top and left! « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 01:06, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

•  Keep All the info is on the back, 1964 image by the Associated Press, who never registered or renewed images or even displayed a copyright symbol. They controlled the images, and sent them to subscribing papers. The image was republished in 1966. I also find bizarre: "obviously cut out of something printed". --RAN (talk) 03:19, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
  • So the picture was republished in 1966? In what? A book? A newspaper? Nothing is clear here, the stamp is barely legible. And the text of Category:Photographs distributed by Associated Press seem to state that this isn't cut and dry, as it was published in 1964 originally. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 00:36, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

     Comment Gonzo fan2007 you assumed that it is "obviously cut from something printed", do you have proof of that? A book, a newspaper where this image has been published? Please give us the source... or it is only a presumption from your part?
