[edit]

Possible copyvios. Small photos with no EXIF metadata. The ones with metadata were taken with different cameras, unlikely to be own works.

  •  Keep At least the ones with EXIF data should be OK. These are smartphones, not expensive cameras. And assume good faith? Yann (talk) 12:38, 29 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep, considering the author explanation in the Village Pump. -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 22:12, 29 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep, Exif information is not a requirement for uploads here, it is preferred but not a requirement. Different Exif information is not a valid reason to delete a file, I have different camera that would give different Exif information. Small photo is also not a valid reason to delete. I have plenty of phones sitting in a box that would take photos like the smaller ones shown. Wikicology there is not a race to see how many files you can get deleted, these type of requests do not help anyone, you are vary likely causing many valid users photos to get deleted. These type of actions are driving away contributors. On top of that you are artificially inflating the workload of the admins here. - Offnfopt(talk) 23:35, 29 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
"Different Exif information is not a valid reason to delete a file". Nobody said it is. When a user uploaded a small photo with no exif metadata, what happened to the original photo? When other ones are taken with different camera it leaves me with a doubt on their ownership of the photos, especially when the user is not a regular contributor on Commons. If we find the user's comment convincing, it's not enough for us to attack the nominator. Please, assume good faith. Wikicology (talk) 12:59, 30 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The user uploaded the files and listed them as their own work, you created a DR to delete all of their uploads which essentially is calling them a liar. All because you think they might be copyvio even though you have not found the images at other locations on the web and have no proof of this. If you can't handle my comments which were fairly tame then maybe you shouldn't be making these type of deletion requests. These type of DR which are essentially witch hunts are not healthy for the project. - Offnfopt(talk) 13:39, 30 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
