[edit]

Many Unused personal image, more suitable for Facebook or other social media. I suspect many of them being copyright work of others.

  • Untractable bundle with all kinds of images, of which some are even in use (!), at least several are pretty much otherwise in scope, and many are said to be the uploader’s own work also in the description (i.e., not a matter of boilerplate use of {{Own}}; using COM:AGF here, too). I suggest  keeping them all, and that the nominator create new DRs with smaller lists and more clear and well-thought rationales. -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 00:24, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yeah sure, I vote  KEEP- these are just so-so photos, mostly poor quality but still seems useful additions. I doubt these can be copyright violations, most good photographers who copyright their photos have a much higher quality photos. Hamneto (talk) 15:04, 1 May 2015 (UTC)Hamneto[reply]
User:Hamneto, for the record please note that (to make a long story short) everything has an inherent, automatic, implicit copyright upon creation; there’s no requirement for «good photographers» to especially register or mark their work for copyright purposes. -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 20:14, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hi. I've checked these photos today and I think we should  keep these photos, expect for the two i.e. File:Hindu tribal girl.jpg and File:Devotees at Bhit Shah.jpg , none of the others seem very suspicious at all. These two above mentioned photographs seem to be scanned from some book or magazine, maybe. I have also seen the Talk Page of User Rangbaz and some photos have been previously removed for dubious sources. However most of these existing photos seem authentic to me, and some of them are even interesting. I think that at least 5 or 6 of them are in fact already in use on various Wikipedias? If you look below each photo you can see which ones are in use, so it wouldn't be right to say that these aren't in use or not worthy of use. I think Wikimedia is a creative site, and many people share whatever art work they create, some people make simple photos too, not exceptional ones only. And I think there's nothing wrong with that, let's give the benefit of the doubt here, thanks. Nayaba2014
About file usage, indded it is so, and also other tools allow for quick checks. Using MediaWiki:VisualFileChange.js, I detected taht the following of the files above are in use in Wikimedia projects:
Concerning those two apparently scanned photos, I think these are rather photos of photos, of which there are many others in this batch, and however for some of which authenticity of authorship can be established: F.i., on these two photos:
clearly the same person is depicted, identified as the uploader’s wife, yet one is clealy a rephotographed hardcopy of a photograph, while the other is a (resampled, EXIFless version of a) digital photograph. COM:AGF suggests that we assume that all rephotographed images are the uploader’s own, in absence of compelling evidence of the contrary.

Kept: per the arguments above. Steinsplitter (talk) 10:22, 4 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
