@BevinKacon: the message being replied to on File:I wonder if Ahmed would share the plans for his clock, so we can make one for our office wall.jpg is from @POTUS which is an official account. Ed Felten, regardless of the account being personal or not, posted a tweet for work. Not that it matters. "I wonder if Ahmed would share the plans for his clock, so we can make one for our office wall." is PD-text. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 22:06, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

No valid reason for deletion for any of these. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 06:11, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

• Personal photographs of peoples faces are not text, which all of those listed contain. I can see the photo at File:Ahmed, you've got a big fan in all of us at The White House.jpg is US gov photo, so I've excluded that.--BevinKacon (talk) 18:56, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

•  Question: Photos and other images can be easily blurred, but isn’t the text copyrighted, too? -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 22:39, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

• I don't know if it's productive to start a deletion request citing "In light of this other request, same rule applies", when that discussion has mixed opinions and is yet to be closed. Has anyone also considered Commons:De minimis?  Keep for this reason, that the copyrighted content is insignificant in size. Alternatively, these tweets can easily be cropped. Cropping to me is preferred, because the act of blurring seems to carry the implication that the person's identity is being censored or hidden which is not the case. seb26 (talk) 00:13, 29 August 2018 (UTC)

• Without the image(s), it is now out of COM:SCOPE - "..following are not considered media files, and may not be hosted here: Files which are representative merely of raw text". w:Template:Tweet exists for this purpose.--BevinKacon (talk) 18:39, 29 August 2018 (UTC)

  Interesting argument. Maybe Donald Trump tweets more appropriately belong on Wikisource. seb26 (talk) 21:56, 1 September 2018 (UTC)
