[edit]

Unlikely to be own work: small/inconsistent resolutions, missing EXIF/different cameras.

No valid reason for deletion, no significant reason doubt that the uploaders claims are true. These are all simple average quality pictures, mainly taken on cell phones over a number of years. I can readily accept that someone owns or has access to multiple devices over this period. I am not suprised that images from a variety of cellphones are a variety of resolutions, and most have been edited (cropped?) anyway. The dimensions are much bigger than I would expect to see if they were for instance copied off the institutions website. I didn't find any evidence of any of these elsewhere on the web. If one of these images turns up from another source then we should look again. We should assume good faith until there is evidence otherwise. --Tony Wills (talk) 09:16, 7 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
File:Biju patnaik2.jpg is an odd one out, very poor quality perhaps a screen grab from a video. Used quite widely, but probably sourced from here. This is one that needs a closer look. --Tony Wills (talk) 09:39, 7 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Subject died in 1997 when uploader was apparently 5 years old (en:User:Meyvun), so ""own work" seems unlikely (perhaps he means he digitised it) - significant doubt on this one --Tony Wills (talk) 09:54, 7 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted: I found copyrighted sources for the first two I looked at, so "own work" and AGF are not applicable here. .     Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 15:16, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
