Although all the photos uploaded correctly from Flickr, the Flickr user: Martin Swart account deleted from Flickr. As you can see from a good reason - all the photos with a different cameras. --Geagea (talk) 00:40, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

•  Keep, it is not that strange. A person owned Canon PowerShot A70 in 2003 (a decent camera for that period), owned a large Canon PowerShot S5 IS (2007 model) and a small NIKON COOLPIX S600 in summer 2009, then used an entry-level DSLR Canon EOS 400D in December 2009 and switched to mid-range DSLR NIKON D5000 in July 2010. At the same time the person could perfectly own an iPhone 3GS. I find nothing suspicious in that: a person uses cameras of two manufacturers and upgraded a camera from a very basic one to a mid-range DSLR from 2003 to 2010. That's pretty common for a photographer to upgrade cameras, and you can find a similar pattern in contributions of many photographers (including probably myself as well). I don't think upgrading cameras over 7 years is a reason for deletion — NickK (talk) 02:43, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
•  Keep and stop foolish nomination. For example I have four fotocameras and two videocams. Why not? If anybody is poor it is his problem. --Pauk (talk) 04:12, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
•  Keep Stupid request. I myself use(d) different cameras (see my profile). Should we delete all my pictures ? ;-) --TwoWings * to talk or not to talk... 07:53, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

I can appreciate the comment if NickK but using the word stupid can tell only about your vocabulary. Geagea (talk) 08:38, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

• There is a mixture of three different camera types: DSLR cameras, compact cameras and mobile cameras. I can accept that you use one camera of each type as they have different features (e.g. size, image quality, Internet connection). Is there something strange with File:FIFA World Cup 2010 Italy New Zealand.jpg? It says that the author is "Martin Swart", but EXIF lists the copyright holder as "BigBlackBox". Of course, BigBlackBox could be a company owned by Martin Swart. --Stefan4 (talk) 12:59, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

  Above I have ordered cameras in a chronological order, this way it seems to be a reasonable pattern. BigBlackBox seems to be the nickname of Martin Swart — NickK (talk) 17:17, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

•  Comment One can take photos with borrowed equipment. If the different cameras are the only thing suggesting Flickr washing (I didn't look at all the photos tho), I don't really see a point to this deletion request. --Pitke (talk) 13:51, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
  • When account deleted from Flickr is always suspicious. Geagea (talk) 22:52, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
•  Keep: Entirely invalid reason. In seven years I have posted pix from two smartphones, two bridgecams, one DSLR and three, no make that four compacts. Sometimes three different cameras in the same month. From five manufacturers. Jim.henderson (talk) 12:46, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
