Stephenson College images

[edit]

These files were uploaded by Stephensoncollegedu and Kstobbs (which evidence from editing patterns and various discussions on Wikipedia indicate are the same person). They are pretty clearly all official Durham University marketing photos from the same photoshoot - two of them appear in an official university publication, and at least one photo also obviously from the same photoshoot appears on the university website (labelled 'Our Unique College System' and featuring many of the same models in the same clothing).

As the uploader appears to be a representative of the college, it's possible they do have permission to release these, but it seems reasonably unlikely - they are marked as 'own work' rather than evidencing release by the copyright owner - and a query on the user's talk page on Wikipedia went unanswered.

I raised this at Commons:Village_pump/Archive/2023/01#Stephenson_College,_Durham_images at the time and the only reply recommended deletion, but I didn't get round to pursuing this at the time; I've just been reminded by Padgriffin (who has been doing a great job creating freely-licenced alternatives). I'd suggest they need to go. --TSP (talk) 15:34, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
