Images uploaded by user Gorthaur

[edit]

These images should be deleted as likely copyright violations. Seven of the user’s 14 images have already been removed as infringing or not improperly attributed. A quick review of the remaining seven shows very different styles; they were surely executed on different media originally as well. It is inconceivable that the same individual created them all. Gorthaur claims he created them but he also claimed authorship of the seven copyrighted files already removed (including a sketch by Leonardo daVinci). In addition, after becoming aware that copyrighted material would be removed, he actively sought to conceal the true origins of at least two images he had previously uploaded. Details here. Given this history, the remaining images are highly suspect and in the absence of evidence to the contrary should be presumed to be copyrighted works, improperly uploaded.

  • Delete I am totally unconvinced that this user is able to give valid licensing to these images --Herby talk thyme 11:01, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete This is a plethora of styles that even Dali would have been jealous of. Chances that they were produced by one and the same user are infinitesimal small IMO. Given licenses are therefore very dubious. Lycaon 11:08, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete it is very small to be user created
