[edit]

Unlikely to be own work: could be found on other web sites with Google Images.

Err, why is it unlikely? The artist is in contact with Wikipedia editors here[1] If you are concerned these could have been found on Google, wouldn't it be a good idea to first demonstrate that they can even be found there before prematurely nominating them for deletion? The fact that they are all in the same style should also hint that they are not just randomly uploaded images. I'm pretty baffled by this DR, we have thousands of user made reconstructions of extinct animals, why single out these? FunkMonk (talk) 18:00, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
If you visit my deviantart account where you found the images offline, you’ll see that I admit I am PaleoEquii on Wikipedia in the description of the Arambourgiania painting I told you I’d make before it was uploaded. PaleoEquii 12:44, 2 November 2018 (EST)
Commons:OTRS will be best way to solve this problem. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 13:59, 3 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No, because the uploader is the artist. There is absolutely no requirement for OTRS in such cases. You are making it harder for people to donate their art to Commons than even Commons policy indicates. FunkMonk (talk) 16:45, 3 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Kept: A link between the creator and PaleoEquii can be found here (as stated above). Pretty good evidence that the uploader is the copyright holder in my mind. --Majora (talk) 23:48, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
