•  Delete unless the original file can be clearly determined to be freely licensed. I'll go through these tomorrow when I have time and mark which are acceptable, and clean them up. Either way, this is a classic example of how not to contribute. — Huntster (t @ c) 19:28, 25 December 2021 (UTC)

 Info: I removed them from en.wp, sometimes in favor of images that were removed.. --Polarlys (talk) 19:43, 25 December 2021 (UTC)

• Comment: File:VERITAS.png contains the same spacecraft illustration shown in File:Veritas20150930.jpg, which has a public domain provenance in NASA (here). I can't figure out where the spacecraft illustration originated (I don't have much free time to dig at the moment), but it seems likely that either VERITAS.png is also from NASA and therefore something we can keep, or the spacecraft image originated elsewhere, which means Veritas20150930.jpg should also be deleted.

  • I had time to do a little more digging today. I couldn't find a copy of just the spacecraft image from NASA, but I opened up the image and noticed something interesting: The edges are fuzzy. The original uploader hasn't responded to the notice for deletion, but here's what I think happened. This image - and possibly the others, only some of which I've checked - are edited copies of NASA imagery. (To support this argument, look at this image. The struts have an eroded quality they wouldn't have if this were the original render.) NASA stuff is generally PD, and PD stuff can be edited and redistributed on the editor's terms. If that's what happened here - and I stress the "if" - then this is exactly what the uploader says it is: Their own work. They still should have made that chain of provenance clear, to avoid exactly this situation, but if my theory is right then we can keep these images, they just need to be retagged. The uploader was notified yesterday, so I won't ping them again just yet, but I'm hoping they can clear this up. Tisnec (talk) 22:11, 26 December 2021 (UTC)
