Per Commons:Licensing#GNU Free Documentation License GFDL is not permitted as the only license since the content is a photograph of a person licensed in 2024. — JJMC89 (T·C) 22:42, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

Namaste,

I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to express my sincere apologies if my previous actions regarding the photograph's upload on Wikimedia were not in line with the appropriate procedures.

Following the initial notification with the ticket template, I promptly reached out to the owner, urging them to respond to the email sent by VRT. The directive was clear: the photographer must provide explicit permission for the photo's use. Consequently, the photographer duly sent the required permission, which was subsequently accepted.

However, it's disheartening to find the photo now facing a deletion nomination. This news has left me quite dismayed. Nevertheless, I fully respect the rules and regulations governing Wikimedia, and I am committed to adhering to them diligently.

In an attempt to resolve this matter, I left a message on your talk page, but I understand if you might have missed it. Could you kindly provide guidance on the specific permissions necessary to retain the photo on Wikimedia? I will promptly relay this information to the owner and ensure compliance.

Thank you for your understanding and guidance in this matter.

Warm regards. Theshubhz (talk) 03:36, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Theshubhz: There appears to be a miscommunication in the VRT ticket, I suppose. The image can be kept if it is also licensed under any CC BY-SA license, or any other compatible license, alongside GFDL which appears not very practical given what is at Commons:Licensing#GNU Free Documentation License, "(GFDL) is not practical for most content, especially for printed media, because it requires that they be published along with the full text of the license." If a file is only licensed under GFDL, it is not permitted to remain here. ─ Aafī (talk) 14:10, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

Hello dear @Aafi, thank you for your kind reply. I will proceed to ask the photographer to reply to the email with the following statement:

'I agree to publish the above-mentioned content under the following free license: Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 International.'

Is that going to be okay? or Please let me know if there are any further steps required. Thank you. Theshubhz (talk) 14:15, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

@Theshubhz, that's perfect. ─ The Aafī on Mobile ^(talk) 14:58, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
