Taken from a 2015 publication by the US state of New Hampshire [1] which is neither in the public domain nor under a free license. So these files are copyvios and should be deleted.

Please view these links as they should confirm that the photo is in the public domain or has no known copyright restrictions. BacktoSchoolForever0700 (talk) 18:18, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@BacktoSchoolForever0700: This is a claim by the University of New Hampshire that this material published by the state of New Hampshire has "no known copyright restrictions". They don't explain at all WHY that should be the case. --Rosenzweig τ 21:06, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
So you are saying I should have asked more questions or done further research? BacktoSchoolForever0700 (talk) 21:27, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Don't simply believe every claim some web site makes, but try to think about if it is plausible that something is in the public domain and why that would be the case. In this case: Are works by the state of New Hampshire automatically in the public domain like federal US works (answer: they are not) and if this web site still claims some work is in the PD, why could that be the case? If you can't find a reason, it probably isn't true. --Rosenzweig τ 23:18, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Kept: COM:PCP directs us to delete files when there is significant doubt as to its freedom. Here, we have an academic institution which presumably has done its due diligence and was unable to find any copyright restrictions. holly {chat} 01:46, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
