    @LaundryPizza03: would these files be compatible with Wikipedia's licensing requirements? AlbanGeller (talk) 23:11, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

    It depends on whether they can be used in a manner that satisfies the non-free content criteria. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 23:17, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

    Withdrawing my vote. I apologise for the inconvenience caused by this. AlbanGeller (talk) 23:23, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

• Keep the 18th century portraits of Robert Walpole and the Duke of Newcastle, which are firmly within our policy on Reuse of PD-Art photographs and should be treated as PD art. Delete the rest. Wikimedia Commons is hosted in the US, and for works of historic art we rely on the case of Bridgeman Art Library v. Corel Corp. (1999) and other similar cases, which have held that a photograph which is an exact copy of a work of another person lacks originality. Deleting those two files would be a terrible precedent. The 20th century photographs are quite different. Most of them have very vague details of who the creator is: for instance, the Bassano company is not the same thing as the photographer Bassano who died about a hundred years ago. In the case of the Campbell-Bannerman photograph, the photographer is named and died in 1938, which is eighty years ago, but it's probably better to err on the side of caution.

  @Moonraker:  Thank you. for the insight! I would note however that a blurry grayscale version of the Campbell-Bannerman photograph has existed at File:Henry Campbell-Bannerman photo.jpg since 2011. AlbanGeller (talk) 16:43, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
