[edit]

Photos made by 12 different cameras or no metadata at all, mostly low resolution, some from PAN Photo Agency archive with no permission, some have different names in the 'Author' EXIF tag, likely not own works as stated.

I'm the author of every single file I've ever uploaded to Commons. My name is Sedrak Mkrtchyan, I'm a graphic designed and photographer based in Armenia (https://www.linkedin.com/in/sedrakmkrtchyan), some 10+ years ago I was in Pan.am team as a photo correspondent (https://panarmenian.net/photo/mkrtchyan), now teaching at the American University of Armenia (my page there: https://people.aua.am/team_member/sedrak-mkrtchyan/) and being art director of Armenia TV, partnering with other firms as well. I upload whatever I can find from my background. Once photographing with Canon 5D Mark 2, having also Canon 60D, sometimes using cameras of our Pan.am team other members, though rarely photographing these days. You can find different cameras because you have taken my uploads here taken through period of two decades. I can provide proofs of my identity and usually uploading photos with no editing to keep exif. Exclusion is for some Pan.am pics our management once decided to upload a smaller size, which I did back then. 517design (talk) 07:07, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well, probably that's the way things are. But then you will likely be able to explain, for example, why this says Author: Armen. And as long as your management declared the parameters for publishing images, does this mean that the copyright holder is a company you worked for? --Xunks (talk) 11:13, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    This is Alik Harutyunyan, he was the head of Public and TV council of Armenia in early 2010s, and his office was literally 2 door away from Pan.am. I took a photo long before uploading here, for NewMag magazine. The copyright holders of these pics is Pan.am, previously known as Panarmenian Photo, headed by Mr. Armen Azaryan, and we made a decision to publish photos we own to Wiki just for the social good, actually why I'm here as well, but with a smaller resolution (frankly because we were also selling these photos Hi-res to our clients). I can send contacts to Armen Azaryan, head of Pan.am and Panarmenian.net, who can confirm. 517design (talk) 12:15, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Oh, I've seen this Armen down there. Frankly I have no idea, but I suppose it was the Meta data input into camera settings as author by Armen Azaryan, head of Pan.am. I can contact him, but I doubt anyone remembers, it was more than 10 years ago. 517design (talk) 12:40, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Sorry, is there anything I can do now? 517design (talk) 07:31, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Anything I should do now? 517design (talk) 06:48, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Dear Xunks, I'm not well aware of the proceedings of possible deletion debates, so I'm curious whether these photos are going to be deleted or not, and my actions on what needs to be done. I'd be grateful for help. I doubt no action here may result in deletion of these files. 517design (talk) 09:35, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Kept: COM:AGF, defaulting to keep due to no response from the nominator. Individual images may be renominated if there is specific evidence that they are not properly licensed. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 07:36, 6 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
