Files in Category:Archaeological survey of Egypt memoir (1893)

[edit]

One of the authors is Nina M. Davies (6 January 1881 – 21 April 1965) and thus this is not necessarily PD in the UK, (It would be PD-US by date as claimed.). Undelete in 2036?

 Keep "Norman" (d.1941) is not "Nina", though there may be debate as to which of the two provided drawings to which later publications. Based on Wikipedia's description Nina first met Norman in 1906 and they married in 1907, after this publication, i.e. only then having the name "de Garis Davis". There is no evidence that Nina was involved in this 1906 publication.
 Info Though the date is given as 1893, this was the start of the publication series. This "Sixteenth Memoir" was published in 1906. --Fæ (talk) 11:27, 2 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 Keep per Fae. It looks like the info in the Commons descriptions is wrong on this one; the books themselves list only one person as author, which (again per Fae's arguments, as well as pretty much every other listing of the books that I can find) seems to be Norman de Garis Davies. A lot of the other info in the descriptions is also wrong (things like the date, as well as “Text Appearing Before Image: XX CO o LU _l a. LU H zo < < z CO zo HCL a:o CO z oo LU 2”), since it was apparently added by a bot and not checked by a human, so the wrong author listing is not surprising. —Vorziblix (talk) 15:31, 2 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Kept: no valid reason for deletion.  JGHowes  talk 02:01, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
