January 2022

  1. Fractal lake: nominated at AfD; notified Danwills (talk · contribs) 18:35, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: There seems to be no coherent concept of a 'fractal lake' in the literature. As documented on the talk page, there have been several attempts to source the term to a well-defined concept.
      I would be open to either deletion or redirection to Fractal.
  2. Category:Quantification (science): nominated at CfD (CfS); splitting to Category:Quantification (science), Category:Quantifier (logic); notified CBM (talk · contribs) 10:25, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

February 2022

  1. Proofs involving the Moore–Penrose inverse: nominated at AfD; notified RainerBlome (talk · contribs) 14:59, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: This article blatantly violates WP:NOTTEXTBOOK, as it develops content from initial lemmas to propositions just as a textbook would, rather than like an encyclopedia.
      Since it is actually quite well written, I transwikied it, reformatted it, added some explanations and exercises and added it to a textbook on Wikibooks, where it fits much better.
  2. Proofs involving the Laplace–Beltrami operator: nominated at AfD; notified Linas (talk · contribs) 15:22, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: The article consists of unsourced proofs which are not encyclopedic in content. They are not notable as proofs, and they are also not illustrative of any particular technique covered in an article. Since Wikipedia is neither textbook nor research paper, there is no need to justify claims made in articles with calculations such as these.

May 2022

  1. INLA: nominated at RfD; Target: Irish National Liberation Army (notified) 10:26, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Having just accepted Integrated nested Laplace approximations as an AfC submission, I propose retargeting there and hatnoting the previous target. The new page seems to have see primary usage on general search results and scholar search.

October 2022

  1. Template:Merging from: nominated at TfD 10:45, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Redundant with template:Being merged (which can take a dir=from parameter). I have used this after closing merge discussions for its more specific text, but it seems pointless without a "Merging to" partner template that mirrors the text; after all, the guidance of the template would be much more pertinent to editors looking at the source page rather than the target page.
      So if there is no support for adopting the text of this template for both directions, I would suggest turning this into an alias for template:Being merged with the dir=from parameter.

December 2022

  1. File:£20 note Series D (1970–1991) front.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Von Sprat (talk · contribs) 17:32, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
  2. File:Albert Grajales, Instructor of Bruce Lee and Ted Wong's Jeet Kune Do.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Stealthwarrior (talk · contribs) 21:39, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Doubtful own work; uploader also claimed the portrait at File:Albert Grajales Consultant of Intelligence & Antiterrorism.jpg to be their own work, so maybe they have not quite understood what "own work" implies?
  3. File:Benjamin Hick.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Weiterbewegung (talk · contribs) 11:13, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
  4. File:Chinese troops going into battle.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified DCTT (talk · contribs) 19:31, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: I am nominating this file for discussion due the 2014 deletion on Commons on the ground of it being unfree in the USA.
      This would also be sufficient reason not to have it here without a fair use rationale either. However, I am unclear about the reasoning behind the deletion back then. c:commons:China, which has recently been updated, is quite clear that copyright on photos expired 50 years after publication, regardless of whether copyright was held by a natural person or not. So it seems to me that the question is not who held the copyright but rather whether we believe that the image was a) first published in China and b) published before 1946.
  5. File:ComicBookBurningPhoto.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified ReverendLogos (talk · contribs) 08:34, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: This image appeared in 1948 in an issue of TIME Magazine (see [1]) whose copyright has been renewed appropriately (see for instance the table at wikisource:Portal:Time (magazine)).
      Since it is a news photo, opportunities to claim fair use may be limited.
  6. File:Concepcion Aguila.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Glenncando (talk · contribs) 10:01, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: This image, clearly credited to an individual photographer, is unlikely to be a government work.
      The 14th biennial conference mentioned in the description seems to have taken place in or after 1955 according to the Records of the AFUW.
      This implies that copyright had not lapsed when terms were extended to 70 years post mortem auctoris in 2005 ,and thus the image is still in copyright both in Australia and the USA.
      It is also not in use in article space.
  7. File:Craig-atwood-marshall.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Jack1956 (talk · contribs) 10:28, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: The file has been tagged as published before 1927, but I see no evidence for this. The given source is from 1998 and it does not look like a formal studio portrait to me.
  8. File:DallasCrane2014.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Walter Cronkitis (talk · contribs) 15:04, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: The summary calls it a publicity shot, suggesting that it is not the uploader's own work.
      However, it is at high resolution and comes with full EXIF data, which may indicate that it is the uploader's own work after all.
      What do others think?
  9. File:Dhaka Racing presenting to president.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Ashik per (talk · contribs) 18:50, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Own work claim has previously been flagged as having potentially a license issue; it is of reasonably low resolution and without EXIF data.
  10. File:Del fontaine&hilda meek.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Materialscientist (talk · contribs) 10:56, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: This file cannot be in the public domain in the US since Del Fontaine only moved to the UK and started his liaison with Meek in 1931, which would mean that the image was still copyrighted in the UK in 1996 and therefore per WP:URAA in the US until 2027 at the earliest.
  11. File:Distribution of Spotted Nightjar.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Jbowd01 (talk · contribs) 16:50, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: This map was licensed as being ineligible for copyright as "simple geometry", but I would consider the mapping decisions to involve sufficient creativity to push this beyond the threshold of originality even in the US. It is certainly above the very low threshold for Australia and since it could be redrawn independently I see no good case to be made for fair use.

January 2023

  1. File:Clarice Cliff My Garden range 1934-5.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Leonard Griffin (talk · contribs) 12:59, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: While there is a license covering the UK, there is no US license, and I do not see which could apply.
  2. File:Dragan Raca.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Therkonsaj (talk · contribs) 13:16, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Dubious own work without EXIF data. Originally uploaded as a non-free work, and then changed license. The "Permission" field in the description says "Dragan Raca" , and a crop seems to be in use on the subject's official page.
  3. File:Dymer.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified GrahamHardy (talk · contribs) 15:05, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Since a book is a 3D object, it seems to me that there is copyright attached to this particular photo, which is clearly not a flat depiction of the two-dimensional cover.
      I have uploaded an image of the title illustration as File:Dymer frontispice.jpg which could be used in Dymer (poem) instead of this image.
  4. File:Eiseihei.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Arimasa (talk · contribs) 15:50, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: The image was first published in Japan in 1938, so from the perspective of the URAA cut-off date of 1996 Japanese copyright law is relevant.
      As we know the author, a "correspondent Hayashi" from Ahasi Shimbun newspaper, the image would be PD in the US only if the correspondent had died before 1946, which is possible, but by no means clear.
  5. File:Elaut Chip.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified NintendoFan (talk · contribs) 16:00, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Derivative work of the illustrations on the tokens. I would say that at least the top left one is above the threshold of originality, but as the two bottom row ones are clearly not, one could crop the image accordingly.
  6. File:Emil Kazaz & Grigor Mooradian.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Amuradyan12 (talk · contribs) 16:44, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Derivative of the modern artwork depicted, and orphaned.
  7. File:Fighters 64 th army are fighting for a house in a neighbourhood of Stalingrad, 1942.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Ilya1166 (talk · contribs) 14:49, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Unclear publication history and authorship make it difficult to ascertain whether the image was in the public domain in Russia at the restoration date, January 1st 1996. Unused.
  8. File:Fighting in battle of berlin.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Ilya1166 (talk · contribs) 14:53, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: The complete lack of publication history make it difficult to determine the source country and the copyright situation in the source country at the URAA restoration date. Unused.
  9. File:Firoze Noon Photo.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Ashik per (talk · contribs) 16:04, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: This seemingly professional photo without camera EXIF data has been flagged as a disputed license years ago, and the user has received several previous warnings for copyright infringement. As there does not seem to any web source, it does not appear speedy-able to me.
  10. File:First Unitarian Church of Berkeley, exterior.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified HarZim (talk · contribs) 16:29, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: The image can be seen at the given source, mounted and with a handwritten annotation. It does not seem to have been published soon after its publication and [2] lists it as around 1915, so I doubt that it is in the public domain.
  11. File:FKEsling.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Garyvines (talk · contribs) 16:31, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: While I doubt that the image is PD in Australia, since the photographer not being "publicly known" does not make an image anonymous, it is certainly not PD in the US as it would in any case have been copyrighted in Australia in 1996.
  12. File:Flag of Baghdad Governorate.png: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Cordyceps-Zombie (talk · contribs) 16:44, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: The reason for the claim of public domain status in Iraq is unclear to me. I couldn't trace any use of the flag in the past which would suggest that it had been in use long enough to match any of the clauses in the PD-Iraq template.
  13. File:Flag of Langley, British Columbia.svg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Zscout370 (talk · contribs) 17:11, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: A claim has been made that this image is below the threshold of originality; as the flowers seem rather complex to me, I would prefer to open it for discussion. A definitely free version could be created directly from the blazon at [3].
  14. File:Kala Venkata Rao.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Bsskchaitanya (talk · contribs) 23:02, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: In the public domain in India as a 1957 photograph, but not in the US due to URAA restoration. Description does not fit the image, so no provenance given. Potentially suitable for fair use in Kala Venkata Rao.
  15. File:Deng BaoShan 1968.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Toweli (talk · contribs) 17:08, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: This file is missing a US licensing template, and the only possibility I could imagine for this to be PD in the US is for the image to have been published before 1946, which would make it PD in China at the URAA restoration date.
      The subject would have been 52 in 1946 and died in 1968.
  16. File:Funicular1953.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified DDima (talk · contribs) 11:53, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Although the location of first publication is unknown, it would still be copyrighted in Russia and Ukraine in 1996 as a post-1946 photograph. This means that it is still copyrighted in the US per URAA restoration.
  17. File:Freeform Fox Family Channel logo.svg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified LooneyTraceYT (talk · contribs) 14:53, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: There has been disagreement in the past about whether this logo is above the threshold of originality (cf. its history).
      If it is considered non-free, the guidance for former logos would suggest not keeping it.
  18. File:Georgepeta village, Sri rama pattabishekam.jpeg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Phanisaladi (talk · contribs) 15:05, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Although the uploader claims this photo to be their own work, they also state "georgepeta" as a source and Facebook as prior publication.
      Since they already have some copyright warnings on their userpage, I prefer to open this up to discussion.
  19. File:GlasNaroden.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Botev1921 (talk · contribs) 15:42, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Deleted at Commons as a copyright violation. Non-free use at its current articles is debatable.
  20. File:Gomberg Gecko.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified DavidGomberg (talk · contribs) 16:14, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: This file, uploaded for use on David Gomberg, should really have WP:VRT authentication (despite the user name, DavidGomberg has not even declared a conflict of interest regarding his edits at David Gomberg).
  21. File:Gorica Stadium.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Lglukgl (talk · contribs) 16:45, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
  22. File:Grand Picture House Tottenham.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified HughJLF (talk · contribs) 16:57, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Image can be found at [4], and the date of 1923 given there seems very reasonable given the films advertised. However, it is not a formal image and we have no indication of author or publication history to definitively confirm its copyright status in either the UK or the US.
  23. File:Guan Pinghu.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified CharlieHuang (talk · contribs) 21:47, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Dating of the image is unclear. If it is from after 1945, it would have been hit by the URAA restorations and would still be copyrighted in the US. Could also be eligible for non-free use in Guan Pinghu.
  24. File:HarryBurgessChelseaProfile.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Woollard01 (talk · contribs) 10:14, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Unclear how this photograph should be PD in the US. It was taken less than 95 years ago and was certainly copyrighted in the UK at the URAA restoration date in 1996.
  25. File:HarryBurgessSheffieldWednesday.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Woollard01 (talk · contribs) 10:16, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Unclear how this photograph should be PD in the US. It was taken less than 95 years ago and was certainly copyrighted in the UK at the URAA restoration date in 1996.
  26. File:Heil patent figs.png: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Dicklyon (talk · contribs) 11:06, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: This drawing is taken from a patent application by Oskar Heil. Although it is taken from the British patent filing, the original patent application was filed in Germany in 1934, and we can only presume that this is where the drawing was first published. In either case, as the author died in 1994, copyright would still apply in both the UK and Germany, and thus by URAA restoration also in the US.
      The diagram is certainly above the UK threshold of originality, and I would guess that it is also above the German and US thresholds.
  27. File:Herbert Sutcliffe 1935.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified BlackJack (talk · contribs) 11:43, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: The image is missing source information, so it is difficult to tell whether it is in the PD in the UK. However, it is certainly still copyrighted in the US per URAA restorations, since UK copyright would have certainly run into the 2000s.
  28. File:Hydra Logo.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified WillShuck (talk · contribs) 21:57, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Not own work per admission on the uploader's talk page. Could possibly be below the ToO as text , but also possibly out of scope since the article on this nightclub was deleted 8 years ago.
  29. File:ICFTU logo.svg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Vectorebus (talk · contribs) 22:11, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: There has been disagreement in the past on whether this logo of an international organisation headquartered in Brussels meets the threshold of originality, so I prefer to put it out there at FFD. To me it seems like a case of PD-Textlogo.
  30. File:Formerhermitage.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Brad94 (talk · contribs) 09:32, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: After enquiring with Pickering and Ajax public libraries, it has transpired that this photograph was first published in 1982 and probably taken for the 1982 Heritage Ajax article where it was found. This means it is clearly non-free in both the US and Canada. Since the building depicted has been destroyed in 1982, a new replacement can no longer be found. However, I would like to check with those more well-versed in non-free image rules whether this image meets the guidelines given that there are already a number of images included in the Pickering College article and there may well be an older PD image of this building.

February 2023

  1. File:Jim Chamberlin.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Bzuk (talk · contribs) 22:27, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: While the description claims it to be by a "government photographer", the original source lists it as a courtesy image from the estate of the subject. This makes it difficult to determine whether America or Canada is the source country. Unsuitable for fair use as there already is a NASA image of the subject on the page that could be used instead.
  2. File:John M. Burns (2005).jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Vizjim (talk · contribs) 11:39, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Flagged presumably as a derivative work of the magazine cover 10 years ago by (a legal sock of) ShakespeareFan00, I am putting this out there since it may qualify for de minimis; besides, cropping or blurring the cover would also allay the DW concerns.
  3. File:John-Vedrenne.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Jack1956 (talk · contribs) 12:12, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Orphaned image of whose provenance we know nothing. There is a higher quality image in current use in the article on the subject, of which we can at least be completely sure that it is PD in the US.
  4. File:John-William-Brodie-Innes.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Jack1956 (talk · contribs) 12:19, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Not a formal studio portrait, and no trace of the publication history. Could well be copyrighted in the US until 1923, but may qualify as fair use unless an undoubtably free image emerges.
  5. File:JohnDoughAndTheCherub.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified GrahamHardy (talk · contribs) 21:41, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: This book cover image is taken from a facsimile publisher and is used in the book's article as a depiction of the 1906 first edition cover. In that case it would be PD due to age. However, an actual first edition book can be seen here, with a very different cover. This puts the PD claim in doubt, and also makes the fair use questionable since the 1906 original would be a free alternative.
  6. File:BODENHEIMER.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Zbase4 (talk · contribs) 13:53, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: There is no indication of the date of this orphaned photograph. If it was taken in Israel after 1945, it would still be copyright protected in the US until 95 years after publication due to URAA restoration in 1996.
  7. File:Gez matilda.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Zbase4 (talk · contribs) 15:08, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: This image, taken from the Knesset page file is unlikely to be PD in the US as the subject only emigrated to Israel in 1957 and thus Israeli copyright would not have expired before 2008.
      It is also ineligible for non-free use as alternatives exist on Commons.
  8. File:Halevi binyamin.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Zbase4 (talk · contribs) 15:40, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: There is no indication of the date of this orphaned photograph, whose subject died in 1996. If it was taken in Israel after 1945, it would still be copyright protected in the US until 95 years after publication due to URAA restoration in 1996.
  9. File:Sasson binyamin.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Zbase4 (talk · contribs) 10:36, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: There is no indication of the date of this photograph, whose subject died in 1989. If it was taken in Israel after 1945, it would still be copyright protected in the US until 95 years after publication due to URAA restoration in 1996.
      It seems ineligible for non-free use as free alternatives could be cropped from the images in commons:category:Binyamin Sasson.
  10. File:Yehudit Simhonit.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Zbase4 (talk · contribs) 10:44, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: There is no indication of the date of this orphaned photograph, whose subject died in 1991. If it was taken in Israel after 1945, it would still be copyright protected in the US until 95 years after publication due to URAA restoration in 1996.
  11. File:Levi daniel.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Zbase4 (talk · contribs) 13:42, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: There is no indication of the date of this photograph, whose subject died in 1995. If it was taken in Israel after 1945, it would still be copyright protected in the US until 95 years after publication due to URAA restoration in 1996.
      The alternatives in commons:Category:Daniel-Yitzhak Levy are also dubious from a copyright point of view, since they will be in copyright in the US until 2064. On the other hand, while this image is taken from the Knesset gallery, whose copyright rules are very restrictive, the alternatives are from the government photo collection, whose license is much more liberal (but not free enough for Commons itself).
      It would seem reasonable to me to transfer one of the Commons images here as fair use in the spirit of WP:FREER and deleting this one.

March 2023

  1. File:Karen Parker in 1985.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified HRIN (talk · contribs) 19:45, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: As a previously published photo, there should really be VRT permission from HRIN, who claims to have taken it himself in 1985. However, since that user's contributions end in 2014, it is sadly unlikely that this will reach him.
  2. File:KayeSt.Bees.JPG: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Simon Harley (talk · contribs) 20:07, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Orphaned image not in the public domain in the US until 2034, since its UK copyright will have expired 2009 at the earliest.
  3. File:Kemsing Well Dressing 2014.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Sally of Kent (talk · contribs) 20:25, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: By the standards of c:COM:FOP UK, this seems to me to be a 2D graphic work, rather than work of artistic craftsmanship. Therefore this seems to be outside of UK freedom of panorama provisions and require permission from the author(s) of the mosaic.
  4. File:Kene (Naga wrestling).jpeg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified The Anonymous Earthling (talk · contribs) 20:29, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: The own work claim with its accompanying license seems to have been made in error. However, I would like the opinion of those more versed in matters of non-free use on Wikipedia to assess the non-free use claim also attached to the image.
  5. Mode-k flattening: nominated at RM 16:22, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

June 2023

  1. File:Contemporary photograph after George Spencer Watson of Edith Dorothea Morgan (1871 - 1931), aka Mrs Rodolph Fane de Salis.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Rodolph (talk · contribs) 15:53, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Since British copyright on the underlying painting expired after 1996, the URAA restored US copyright in this image. Since the sitter died in 1931, it would be safe to undelete in 2027.
      Its current use is in her husband's Wikipedia article, so I am unsure whether it would qualify for non-free use.
  2. File:Dr. O'Dowd.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Lord Cornwallis (talk · contribs) 16:20, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: There are a couple of issues here. Firstly, it doesn't seem to be a film poster, as the FUR states, but rather a voucher/coupon or invitation card to a specific promotional showing of the film at a trade show.
      Secondly though, since UK copyright will have expired in 2011 for an anonymous 1940 work, if the overall document is below the US threshold of originality, it could be moved to Commons.
      Commons generally seems to see the WB logo as below the threshold, so it will likely depend on whether the formulaic invitation text is sufficient to be copyrighted as a textual work.
  3. File:Yorkshire 1937.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified BlackJack (talk · contribs) 18:26, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: While this image may arguably be PD in the UK due to unknown authorship and 70 years having lapsed since publication, its American copyright would certainly have been restored in 1996.
      Thus, it will not be PD in the US until 2033.
      One current use of this image is at Herbert Sutcliffe, which already has a free image in the infobox, and the other use is for illustrating the 1937 season at Herbert Sutcliffe's cricket career (1933–1939).
  4. File:Jack Leslie.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Walls of Jericho (talk · contribs) 18:50, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: This is somewhat of a tricky case. There is nothing to back up the 1921 dating of this image, and since Leslie apparently played from 1921-34, it may well be young enough to be copyrighted in the US, regardless of the issue of anonymous publication that would be required for lapsed UK copyright.
      In any case, it could be eligible for non-free use at Jack Leslie.
  5. File:JWJackBarker.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Shn606 (talk · contribs) 19:10, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: The license is unconvincing, as the author is in fact given as "unknown", and there is no likely way in which image could be PD in the US given the URAA.
      Could be eligible for non-free use at Jack Barker.
  6. File:KingstonianAmateurCup.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified ChrisTheDude (talk · contribs) 20:00, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: US Copyright will have been restored by the URAA, so not in the US public domain until 2029.
  7. File:Les Ames (1932).jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified AMBerry (talk · contribs) 20:12, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: US copyright will have been restored by the URAA, making this image non-free until 2028.
  8. File:Leslie Todd.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified AMBerry (talk · contribs) 20:23, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: US copyright in this image will have been resurrected by the URAA and lasts until 2025. Since the image currently at Leslie Todd (hosted on Commons) is in exactly the same situation, I have filed a deletion request there too.
      One of them could presumably be kept here as non-free until 2025 or until a slightly earlier image emerges.

    • Reason: US copyright will have been restored in 1996 by the URAA, so it is still in copyright until January 1, 2025.
  11. File:MallabySt.Bees.JPG: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Simon Harley (talk · contribs) 21:23, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

  12. File:Meacham 50th Anniversary Color 002.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Jpg1954 (talk · contribs) 20:30, 23 June 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: This image may be PD in the UK, but it would not be PD in the US until 95 years after publication in 1935 since its UK copyright term extended beyond 1996.
      It is currently in use on Spike Hughes and Wendy Wood (artist); at the former page, a crop would probably suffice as a minimal non-free illustration, and on the latter page it is used together with another non-free image, a 1932 drawing of the subject. This drawing seems to be licensed under CC-BY-NC at the source, which may be a consideration regarding WP:FREER.
  13. File:NewboldSt.Bees.JPG: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Simon Harley (talk · contribs) 21:27, 23 June 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Since British copyright expired after 1996, the URAA restored US copyright in this image. Its current use is with a list including the subject, so I doubt whether it would qualify for non-free use.
  14. File:Edwin McMillan Nobel.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Materialscientist (talk · contribs) 07:05, 24 June 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Challenging "Keep local": The argument presented, that it may no be PD in the US, is confusing for two reasons. Firstly, it is PD in the US as a Swedish simple photograph created before 1969, since it was not copyrighted in Sweden on the URAA date, January 1st 1996, and secondly, if it were copyrighted in the US, we could not keep it here either, since the English Wikipedia only goes by US copyright.
  15. File:Slcrew.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified G2bambino (talk · contribs) 09:47, 24 June 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: It is unclear that this image, taken on board a Canadian ship on tour to Stockholm, has indeed first been published in Sweden.
      No contemporary source has been identified.
      If it were a photo taken by a Canadian Crown official,
      then its copyright term would have lapsed in 2006, and there is consensus that URAA restoration is irrelevant for Canadian Crown works,

  17. File:Gudzenko Semen.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Tavrian (talk · contribs) 12:45, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: There is nothing in the sources given to confirm that this image has indeed been first published in the Ukraine. If it was first published in Russia, then even anonymous post-1946 works would be copyrighted in the US since URAA restoration.
  18. File:Kiev Radyanskaya pl approx1930.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Irpen (talk · contribs) 12:48, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: As an image of around 1930 credited to a specific person, there is no reason to assume that it would be PD in Ukraine either now or at the URAA restoration date, January 1st, 1996. This would make it copyrighted in the US until 95 years after publication and in Ukraine for presumably much longer.
  19. File:Starobelsk Faculty.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Pavlo Shopin (talk · contribs) 12:59, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Low resolution image, for which TinEye gives a 2008 hit from iki.lnpu.edu.ua/, the university's own webpage.
      I am not speedy-ing it as a copyvio since it has been on Wikipedia since 2007.

  21. File:Saint Michaels Cathedral (Kiev) in ruins.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified DDima (talk · contribs) 13:22, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: This image, presumably from 1936-8, relies on anonymous authorship for public domain status in both Ukraine and the US, but has no source information whatsoever to verify whether authorship is truly anonymous.
  22. File:Bill keato.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Doctorhawkes (talk · contribs) 19:31, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: The subject played from 1938-50, and since I have been unable to trace the image at the website given as a source it is unclear whether the photograph was taken pre- or post-1946, the cut-off date for URAA restoration.
      If no-one else finds a reason this would have been taken before 1946, it could possibly be converted to non-free use at Bill Keato.
  23. File:Brian Clay 1954.jpeg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Sticks66 (talk · contribs) 20:15, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Copyright restored in the USA by the URAA as Australian copyright did not expire before 2005. While Brian Clay seems eligible for a non-free picture, there are better ones available (see e. g. [5]); however, I assume that in the spirit of choosing the freest image possible we should choose a pre-1955 image that is at least out of copyright in its home country Australia.

  1. File:Charlie Gill 1952.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Sticks66 (talk · contribs) 16:18, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

  2. File:CowperWharfRdMemorial.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Archifile (talk · contribs) 16:30, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: American copyright restored by the URAA in 1996, as Australian copyright did not expire until 2005.
      I have replaced the two occurrences with a modern photograph of the same subject from Commons.
  3. File:Dick Poole 1954.jpeg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Sticks66 (talk · contribs) 16:40, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: American copyright has been restored by the URAA in 1996, since Australian copyright did not expire until 2005.
      Used on the subject's page, who seems to be still alive by the information given there. Also in use on a list page.
      In my experience, neither of these uses are usually considered eligible for a non-free image.

  1. Christe qui lux es et dies: nominated at RfD; Target: Gottfried Vopelius (notified); notified Francis Schonken (talk · contribs) 06:57, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: It seems strange to redirect a classical Latin hymn to the biography page of the compiler of a hymn book which includes someone else's setting of this hymn (by Johann Hermann Schein). Most information we have on wiki seems to be at Te lucis ante terminum, but a red link to encourage article creation might also be an option.

September 2023

  1. File:Beatrice-Straight (1).jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Cinemaniac86 (talk · contribs) 16:08, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: I see no indication why the 1976 film "Network" should be in the public domain, although I have not seen it to verify whether a copyright notice appears in it.
      There is also a non-free use rationale for Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, but I am unsure about including a non-free image in a list article such as this one.
  2. File:London Necropolis bombing.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Iridescent (talk · contribs) 20:10, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Tagged as public domain under the assumption that it is under Crown Copyright. However, this is not the case since Southern Railways was a private enterprise until nationalisation in 1948. Therefore, the photo will have been under UK copyright at the URAA restoration date and US copyright would have been renewed by the URAA.
      There could well be a case for non-free use at one of the articles in which it is currently in use, but possibly not in all three of them (London Necropolis Company, London Necropolis Railway and London Necropolis railway station)
  3. File:Aerial photograph of Westdene, Johannesburg in 1952.png: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Setzor (talk · contribs) 19:13, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: South African copyright will not have expired before 2003, late enough for the image to have been caught up in URAA restorations. So it seems it will be copyrighted in the US until 2047.
  4. File:Bubble and Squeek, from the cartoon.png: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Renamed user 12euhfu3hf98238h98923h894 (talk · contribs) 19:44, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: The cartoon is claimed to be in the public domain since its copyright was not renewed, but as it is a British production first published there, that is not relevant. While I do not know the death date of creator George Moreno Jr. the cartoon is unlikely to be in the public domain in the UK and is certainly still in copyright in the US until 2043.

    • Reason: The image has a non-free use rationale for use as identifying image on the subject's article, but it is actually used in the article body, and does not seem to be subject of critical commentary. It seems that the uploader has a physical copy, but it is unclear to me whether he claims to be the copyright holder and intends to put it under a non-commercial license.

    • Reason: Orphaned, and according to the source the NYPL were themselves unable to make a copyright determination. They also do not seem to know at all which publication this has been taken from and when.
  7. File:Turf Moor 1930s.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Bfcdan (talk · contribs) 21:01, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: As a 1929 publication, still in copyright in the US until 2025. UK copyright could have lapsed in 2000, 70 years after publication.
  8. File:Team GB 1936.png: (log) nominated at FfD; notified JD554 (talk · contribs) 21:33, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: As a 1936 image with no indication of Crown copyright, it will still have been protected in the UK at the URAA restoration date and will thus be protected in the US until 2032.
  9. File:Yugoslav submarine Osvetnik.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Peacemaker67 (talk · contribs) 21:44, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: The author is identified with surname and initial, which suffices not to make this an anonymous image under UK copyright law. Furthermore, the US copyright does not lapse until 2026 in any case.
  10. File:World Moves On.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Cyberia3 (talk · contribs) 21:45, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Not in the public domain in the US until at least 2030 due to URAA restoration.
  11. File:Wilson Coleman.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Cyberia3 (talk · contribs) 21:47, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Not PD in the US until 2034 as a 1938 image published abroad that was still in copyright at the URAA restoration date in the UK.
  12. File:The Cats Paw.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Cyberia3 (talk · contribs) 10:07, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: This image is taken from a US film, so its first publication would be the US rather than the UK. If anyone has an easier way to check film renewals than trawling through PDF scans, it could be worth looking up the renewal records to check whether this motion picture is in the public domain due to non-renewal; otherwise, I doubt this image would satisfy the non-free content criteria.
  13. File:Cardiff City squad 1920.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Kosack (talk · contribs) 15:05, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Bringing this up as the description actually asserts that no publication could be found despite what seems like a diligent search by uploader. This may mean that the image was unpublished (and either still is, if its online upload did not have the consent of the copyright holder, or remained unpublished until recently).
      In that case, US law would allow for copyright protection until 120 years after it was made.
      Since this is not a particularly formal shot, it may not even be reasonable to assume that it was made by a photographer and sold to a client, which would constitute publication under old US law.
  14. File:Dorothy Boyd.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Cyberia3 (talk · contribs) 22:13, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: This image is very likely still to be copyrighted in the US until 95 years after its publication in 1938. See past deletion requests, the latest at Wikipedia:Files_for_discussion/2023_September_20#File:Dave_Burnaby.jpg for details. While this image is in use, I suspect it may not qualify for relicensing as a non-free image since the subject is also depicted File:Somehow Good.jpg. So even though we don't have a sufficiently high resolution copy of that poster, it certainly exists.

  1. File:Eleanorrathbone.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified JimmyJoe87 (talk · contribs) 13:54, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: While this image is PD in the UK, its US copyright will have been restored and not expired if it was taken after 1927.
      There are several images of the subject on Commons, so conversion to non-free use will be hard to justify.
  2. File:Frank Briant.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Graemp (talk · contribs) 14:17, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: The US copyright of this image, published in the UK in 1934, is likely to have been restored and will only expire in 2030, 95 years after publication.
      Curiously, the metadata of this file which indicate a 1924 dating seem to come from this file, which should indeed be PD in both the UK (anonymous and more than 70 years old) and the US (studio photograph, presumably published very soon after creation, that is more than 95 years old).
      So this file could be replaced by that public domain image, rendering it ineligible for non-free use.
  3. File:Good Night Vienna.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Cyberia3 (talk · contribs) 13:53, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: This file is currently used as the identifying image for the article on the film, Goodnight, Vienna. IMDB instead uses a film poster to illustrate it.
      As this is not an unambiguous case of valid non-free use, I am putting up for discussion instead of relicensing.
      The publicity photo itself is unlikely to be PD in the US until at least 2027, with its UK copyright uncertain and depending on whether it can truly be considered "anonymous" rather than at least a co-work of the known director or other named member of the film staff.
  4. File:James Daniel Gilbert.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Graemp (talk · contribs) 17:34, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: US copyright will have been restored, so this file will unfortunately not be PD in the US until 2033. There is a replacement here and at Commons at File:1898 James Daniel Gilbert.jpg, so does not seem eligible for conversion to non-free use.
  5. File:John-Howard-prison-reformer2.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD 10:21, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Duplicate of this Commons file. Neither this file nor the Commons version are in use at the English Wikipedia. Ineligible for F8 as it is tagged Keep Local.
  6. File:Lawnroad 1935.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Danprzewoz (talk · contribs) 10:46, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Orphaned picture, whose copyright has been restored in the US and which is hence copyrighted there until 2031.
      Permission is alleged on the description page from the owner of the original copy, but not from the photographer. If it was indeed Jack Pritchard, UK copyright would not expire until 2063.
  7. File:Lawrence Ogilvie & Brian Mulligan, Long Ashton Research Station 1930.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Duncanogi (talk · contribs) 10:48, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Unfortunately copyright has been restored in the US, making this photo copyrighted until 2026. If it cannot be converted to non-free use at Long Ashton Research Station, it should be undeleted then.
  8. File:Lawrence Ogilvie, Bermuda 1926.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Duncanogi (talk · contribs) 10:57, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Another difficult publication issue. As a family photograph taken by an unknown photographer, I would struggle to assert this image having been published. Thus it may be copyrighted in the US until 120 years after creation, i. e. 2047. I appreciate that there may be differing opinions here though.
  9. File:Lord Berners in 1935.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified The Traditionalist (talk · contribs) 11:15, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

  10. File:MG K1 1932.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Malcolma (talk · contribs) 11:20, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Unless this factory publicity image was circulated in the US without notice/renewal simultaneously with the UK, it will still be in copyright there until 1928. The image is currently orphaned.
  11. File:MG D-Type.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Malcolma (talk · contribs) 11:21, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Unless this factory publicity image was circulated in the US without notice/renewal simultaneously with the UK, it will still be in copyright there until 1927. There are plenty of free images of this vehicle type available, some of which are used already as gallery images at MG D-type, where this is currently the infobox image.

  15. File:Aron Solts.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Chulsky (talk · contribs) 08:41, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: This image was still in copyright in Russia until at least 2003, so it will be copyrighted in the US until at least 2028. There is an alternative on Commons, File:Aaron Soltz.jpg, but it is quite different in style, and I am unsure whether this affects potential non-free use of this image.
  16. File:Ataturk attends a university class.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Shuppiluliuma (talk · contribs) 10:23, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Whether or not this picture is in the public domain in Turkey as a work of anonymous authorship, it is certainly not PD in the US until 2026.
      There are numerous PD images of Atatürk used at Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.

    • Reason: Orphaned file whose public domain status in the US, also its source country, is difficult to justify precisely.
      It is not clear that this was published before 1928. Given that the collection from which this image is sourced does not seem to know when it was made, I doubt its copyright was renewed, so if it was exhibited publicly before 1963,
could be another option.

  2. File:Cactus Man - González.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Cactus.man (talk · contribs) 16:31, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: The sculpure depicted here was completed in 1939 abroad in Spain, and was in the Guggenheim Collection in Venice since 1976.
      As the author died in 1942, the scuplture is in the public domain in Europe, but not in the US. Indeed, the Guggenheim image source asserts that the Artists Rights Society exercises the US copyright for this artwork.
      Furthermore, the sculpture is clearly a three-dimensional object, and the Guggenheim museum has not released this photograph under a free license.
      There are plenty of other examples of the artist's scupltural work on his page, and this particular one is not mentioned in the text, making non-free use difficult to justify.
  3. File:Harvard shield wreath.svg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Frank.trampe (talk · contribs) 12:02, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: I am not sure what is going on with this file. In particular, I am unclear whether the vectorisation, which may hold its own copyright, is from Harvard University or from a user.
      In any case, a PNG version is held at Commons as a PD image with what seems to me to be sound reasoning, so this should either be deleted as replaceable, or transferred to Commons if the vectorisation is found to be freely licensed.
  4. File:Brown University coat of arms.svg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Connormah (talk · contribs) 15:04, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: As the coat of arms is a registered heraldic achievement, I am not sure whether it is appropriate to use a non-free rendering. In my opinion, it could validly be replaced by any rendering of its blazon, which is reproduced in full at our article.
      I have asked the Graphics lab for such a free rendering; otherwise, one could also use any rendering published by the university before 1978 without a copyright notice or before 1928.
  5. File:Chew's Coach.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Jml1786 (talk · contribs) 15:56, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: There is a strange discrepanvy between the named author, who died in 1893, and the dating of the image itself to 1927.
      If the latter dating is correct, the public domain status of the image would have to rely on it having been published at the time of creation; if the image is in fact from the 19th century, it would be in the public domain regardless.
  6. File:Cholokashvili COA.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Kober (talk · contribs) 16:12, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Although the ultimate source used by the artist is clearly old, there is no indication that the artist drawing this particular rendering of the coat of arms, Mikhail Wadbolski, is dead more than 70 years. In fact, a Google search reveals that he was active in the 1940s. If this mural had also been done in that time, it would presumably still be under copyright in Georgia and the US. The only chance I see to keep this as a public domain image would be if it turned out to have been painted (and published) before 1928 or if it were such a close copy of the medieval original as to have no copyright of its own.
  7. File:CooperWaxModel.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Pworms (talk · contribs) 18:52, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: The image is labelled as being used "courtesy" of Medela AG, Baar, Switzerland, without any explicit free license.
      It is questionable whether a cast qualifies as a 2D object and therefore whether {{PD-Art}} applies; as we also exclude coins from that, doubt that it would be covered.
  8. File:Almabohemioshot.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Dr. Blofeld (talk · contribs) 14:20, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: It seems from previous discussions on Commons that screenshots from films are not considered photographs in Argentinian copyright law. It would be different if this were a publicity still, but the file description explicitly labels it a screenshot and I see no indication that it is not one.
  9. File:EstebanCourtalon.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Dr. Blofeld (talk · contribs) 18:57, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: No evidence that the image has been published before 1976, which would be necessary for it to have been PD in Argentina in 1996 and thus unaffected by the URAA restorations. As the subject, born in 1940, is still alive, it is not even certain whether this image is PD in Argentina. Non-free use is generally hard to justify for a living subject.
  10. File:HMS Tiger Bay whilst still Argentine service.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Ryan4314 (talk · contribs) 09:54, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Orphaned image of unclear dating; while dated with its upload time, the warship depicted was in service 1978-1982.
      All photos made after 1975 would still be protected in the US due to URAA restorations.
  11. File:Italia v Francia Mondiale 1978.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Dantetheperuvian (talk · contribs) 10:13, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: This image will still be protected by copyright in the US for a very long time, as it was not PD in Argentina in 1996.
      I am sceptical about possibilities for non-free use, apart from perhaps at Blocco-Juve.
  12. File:Jaime Yankelevich.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Sherlock4000 (talk · contribs) 10:17, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: While the image was apparently created in 1951, evidence of publication is only provided from 1981.
      This would be insufficient to render this image PD in the US.
      I am unsure whether we can assume publication soon after creation for what does not seem like a formal photograph, especially since I also do not know what constitutes "publication" in Argentinian law.
  13. File:Jorgeborelli.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified King of the North East (talk · contribs) 10:22, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Still protected by copyright in the US after URAA restorations. As the subject is still alive, non-free use seems difficult to justify.
  14. File:La Menesunda.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Sherlock4000 (talk · contribs) 11:42, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: To me, this looks derivative of the depicted art installation, whose copyright in Argentina will only expire 70 years after the death of the artist, Marta Minujín, who is still alive.
  15. File:Jorge Carrascosa.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified King of the North East (talk · contribs) 12:57, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Orphaned file which should still be protected in the US according to {{PD-AR-Photo}}, by the terms of which this image was still copyrighted in Argentina in 1996.
  16. File:Armoiries troisieme republique francaise.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Bsskchaitanya (talk · contribs) 19:23, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Orphaned image with no traceable source. Tineye results suggest that (a version of) this image also used to be hosted at Commons as c:File:Francecoatofarms1898-2.png until it was deleted from there in 2018 since no source was provided.
  17. File:Annadurai and Goubert.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Bsskchaitanya (talk · contribs) 19:28, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: It seems as if this orphaned image was made after 1951, when Goubert entered the political arena. This makes it still copyrighted in India in 1996 (the URAA restoration date) and thus also still copyrighted in the US.
  18. File:Yanam Venkanna Babu Ratham 2.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Bsskchaitanya (talk · contribs) 19:41, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: No indication of free license at the source or archived versions thereof.
      Unsure of the potential for non-free use in the three articles it is currently being used in.
  19. File:Telugu Script Chart a.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Bsskchaitanya (talk · contribs) 19:43, 14 October 2023 (UTC)

  20. File:Mirwais Hotak.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Noorullah21 (talk · contribs) 12:45, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: This file had two CSD taggings in the past, and it was deleted at Commons for reasons I don't quite understand, where it was hosted as File:Mirwais Hotak.jpg.
      In any case, there is no indcation of license or publication dates at the source, nor of the author.
  21. File:Hoover history.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified INTV1980 (talk · contribs) 11:53, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Purchasing aphysical photograph on ebay does not transmit copyright in the image. Unfortunately, there is absolutely no further information regarding provenance, dating etc. so even though these images are likely to be public domain in the United States one way or other, I have not been able to make that sure. The most likely would be that they were published before 1964 and then their copyright not renewed, but I doubt that likelihood suffices to relicense it.
  22. File:Hoover people.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified INTV1980 (talk · contribs) 11:53, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Purchasing aphysical photograph on ebay does not transmit copyright in the image. Unfortunately, there is absolutely no further information given regarding its provenance. It seems from some digging that the 5000000th Hoover celebrations took place in 1939, so if these images had been published around then and not renewed, they would now be in the public domain. However, I am unsure that this likelihood suffices for relicensing it PD.
  23. File:Hockessin-Public-Valuation.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Sensor (talk · contribs) 12:08, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: As far as I am aware, the state of Delaware does not automatically place government works in the public domain.
      Therefore, the argument for these images to be in the public domain comes down to whether they were published in 1941. To me, neither submission to court nor to an insurance provider clearly seems to be "general publication" by the standards set out in C Lindberg's detailed explanation on Commons. Therefore copyright could last until 120 years after creation in 1941.

  1. File:Suraiya-1952.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Vkjoshi123 (talk · contribs) 18:58, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: The URAA restored copyright in this image, and thus it should be used as non-free. There are already a lot of allegedly free images used in the article, but apart from the image of Suraiya in her childhood, the remainder will also have been affected by URAA and thus I nominated them for deletion at Commons.
      The question would be whether a free childhood image suffices for this picture to be deleted or whether it could be kept non-free in the infobox.
  2. SP-3000: nominated at RfD; Target: Fujifilm (notified); notified MJL (talk · contribs) 09:36, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Not mentioned at the target. Presumably a Fujifilm product, but I have no idea what kind, and I have not been able to find it on Wikipedia using the search function

  1. File:Dick Poole Newtown 1954.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Sticks66 (talk · contribs) 08:19, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: As there is no indication that this Australian image is under Crown Copyright, its US copyright would have been restored by the WP:URAA.
      It should therefore be treated as a non-free file and presumably removed from the non-biography pages (a list article and one about the sports team the subject played for).
  2. File:Former Bentleigh Hoyts Cinemas.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Biatch (talk · contribs) 14:19, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: As a post-1945 Australian photo, US copyright has been restored by the URAA in 1996. In principle, it could be acceptable non-free use as a historic photo, but the building depicted is not actually mentioned in the article outside the caption.
  3. File:Frank Hyde - rugby league radio broadcaster.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Boylo (talk · contribs) 15:17, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: As the subject only started his broadcasting career in 1953, this image is presumably not in the PD in the US as it would have been protected in Australia in 1996 (cf. WP:URAA). The only exception would be if it were a government image that fell under Crown copyright, but there is no evidence of that.
      As there is already a free image of the subject in the article, I doubt non-free use is possible under our guidelines.
  4. File:French battleship Richelieu in New York.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Parsecboy (talk · contribs) 16:06, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: The argument for this image's public domain status relies on it being first published in Australia. However, it can be found here with credit to "Usis- Dite" and no mention of Australia at all. If USIS refers to the US Information Service, there might be an argument for PD status as a US government publication; otherwise, if it was first published in the US reasonably close after creation, it could well be PD in the US for lack of copyright renewal. Had it first been published elsewhere (such as in France) or remained unpublished until recently, it may well be copyrighted in the US.
  5. File:Geelong Grammar School (crest).png: (log) nominated at FfD 16:24, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: This particular rendering of the crest is unlikely to be old enough to be in the public domain; For instance, a 1911 version can be found on this silk scarf.
      That rendering of the same coat of arms will certainly be in the public domain in the US. To me, the difference is sufficient to doubt that the current rendering is too similar to previous renderings not to attract new copyright.
  6. File:Grimmett1937.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Bdow1722 (talk · contribs) 16:44, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: One of the rare cases where it seems doubtful that the image has been published in the sense of copyright law until too recently for the URAA to take effect.
      It is sourced to this collection of photonegatives, where nothing suggests that this was published with consent of the copyright owner before 1989.
      Somewhat surprisingly, given its quality, the image is not in use.
  7. File:SoP70s.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Zzrbiker (talk · contribs) 17:04, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: This image is hosted "with permission", which has led to a GFDL and then eventually a CC-BY-SA tag.
      However, there does not seem to be any copyright information on old archive versions of the source website, while the current page explicitly reserves rights for commercial use.
      Should this be deemed helpful/necessary, I would be happy to reach out to the site owner.
  8. File:Herb Gilbert jnr.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Sticks66 (talk · contribs) 20:06, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: US copyright of this 1947 image will have been restored by the URAA, and there are already two free images in the subject's article, making a non-free use claim unlikely.

March 2024

  1. File:Air Vice-Marshal Leslie William Cannon.png: (log) nominated at FfD; notified RevolutionaryPatriot (talk · contribs) 11:01, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Copyright in this image has been restored by the URAA, as Pakistani (and British) copyright periods would still have been running in 1996. The only chance for this image to be considered in the public domain in the US is for it being a British (not Pakistani) Crown image that falls under the special clause that Crown copyright is considered to "expire worldwide" (cf. template:PD-UKGov). However, there is no indication that this is the case.
      If found to be copyrighted in the US, it could possibly still be used on the subject's article under non-free content provisions, but would presumably have to be removed from Chief of the Air Staff (Pakistan).
  2. File:Azad bajaj kripalani patel bose1930sa.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Fowler&fowler (talk · contribs) 13:30, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: The event depicted here has always been dated "in the late 1930s", with the date "c. 1920s" added by ShakespeareFan00 in 2014. If it is from the late 1930s, that is, from 1936 or later, its copyright in the US would have been restored by the URAA and would not expire until 95 years after publication.
      The image is not in use on any pages.
  3. File:Iqbal-RahmatAli.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Rama's Arrow (talk · contribs) 15:31, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Due to the slight distortion of the Commons image, I don't think this qualifies for speedy deletion as a duplicate of this Commons version.
      However, the smaller resolution combined with the bad contrast means that at least for me, there is insufficient added value in retaining this local file.
  4. File:Jinnahcap.jpeg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Noman488 (talk · contribs) 15:35, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Orphaned file whose US copyright was renewed by the URAA in 1996.
  5. File:Jinnahsideposecap .jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Noman488 (talk · contribs) 15:46, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Orphaned file (disclaimer: It was used in List of hat styles to illustrate the cap, but I replaced in favour of File:Leonid Brezhnev 1974.jpg, where the hat can be seen much better).
      As a 1947 image from Pakistan, its copyright has been restored by the URAA and will not expire in the US until 2043.
  6. File:MAPOFRAHMATPLAN.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Averroist (talk · contribs) 16:25, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: The author of this map, taken from a pamphlet whose place of first publication is unclear to me (UK/India/Pakistan), died in 1951, and therefore should have entered the public domain in its source country some time between 2001 and 2021.
      Due to the URAA, US copyright will in all likelihood last until 2029. As this is a very valuable historic image, I am not sure whether non-free use might be possible; on the other hand, one could draw a free alternative showing the same proposed "states".
  7. File:Pakistan hockey against australia 1960rome.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Dewaar (talk · contribs) 18:53, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: There is no evidence that this photo, which was shot in Rome and is sourced to a website of the Australian Olympic Committee, was first published in Pakistan. If it were first published in Italy, then it could be a "simple photo" which only had a 20 year copyright period.
      If first published anywhere else, then it is likely still to be copyrighted in the US because of the URAA.
  8. File:Philip Pearlstein-Nude on a Bamboo Sofa.jpeg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified HMAwiki (talk · contribs) 19:35, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: This lithograph is clearly not the uploader's own work, but that of artist Philip Pearlstein (1924-2022).
      According to this listing it was published by Landfall Press, Chicago in 1981, so there is a chance that it fell into the public domain if it was published without a copyright notice and not subsequently registered.
      I had brought this up at the MCQ noticeboard for advice, in case anyone knew more, but to no avail.
  9. File:Nicosia Neighbourhoods.png: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Tom1955 (talk · contribs) 13:31, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: It is unclear on what grounds the base map is assumed to be out of copyright. Cypriot copyright terms apparently ended 50 years pma at URAA restoration date, and 50 years post-publication if published anonymously, but I don't see enough in this snippet to determine that this has been published anonymously in Cyprus before 1946.
      As the map could be redrawn by anyone, I think non-free use will be hard to justify.
  10. File:Jaipur Enamelers.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Harminderdesign (talk · contribs) 10:12, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: I am not sure that the uploader (who has not been active for almost 10 years) really intends to claim they are the original author of this 1965 work, which will still be copyrighted in the US at least until 2060.
  11. File:Palladiusrudenko.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified FrJosephSuaiden (talk · contribs) 12:52, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: This orphaned file seems to be (based on) a portrait of this subject, who died only in 1971. It is at least plausible that this image was first published in the Ukraine, and as Ukrainian copyright terms were 50 years at the URAA restoration date in 1996, it seems unlikely that this image is now PD in the US.
  12. File:Palmer Preparatory School Campus, circa !973.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Mikepena (talk · contribs) 14:30, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: There is no evidence that the uploader is the copyright holder, that the copyright holder released this image into the public domain or that this image has ben published before 1979 without a copyright notice. It may be eligible for non-free use as a historic image, though.

  1. File:Bedri Pejani, Albanian Politician.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Mondiad (talk · contribs) 19:59, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Albanian images from after 1928 that are still copyrighted in the USA due to the URAA. None of them are in use (in article space).
  2. File:Sokrat Dodbiba, Albanian politician.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Mondiad (talk · contribs) 09:24, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Copyright has been restored by the URAA, and the image will be copyrighted in the US until 2040. It seems ineligible for non-free use since a 1917 depiction of the subject can be cropped from a Commons image, c:File:Vasil Nosi and Sokrat Dodbiba.jpg; I haven't cropped it yet because I wanted to ask at the Commons photography workshop whether any improvements could be made to its quality first.
  3. File:Salih Bey Vuciterni, Albanian Politician.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Mondiad (talk · contribs) 09:32, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Another unused Albanian image whose copyright could have been restored by the URAA. I am listing this one separately since the photo is dated 1928-1930 and its US copyright could therefore possibly have expired last year. In any case, if we believe the dating rationale that his ministerial tenure ran until 1930, we can undelete in 2026.
  4. File:Llazar Fundo.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Mondiad (talk · contribs) 10:25, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: As an Albanian image that is very likely to be from after 1928, copyright will have been restored by the URAA. A free image could be extracted from an Italian ID document at Commons, watermark removal for which has been requested at the Commons photography workshop.
  5. File:Congress of Permet 24 May 1944.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Mondiad (talk · contribs) 10:38, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Image whose copyright has been restored by the URAA and will expire in 2040. There may be potential for non-free use in one or more of the articles it is currently in use on, namely
      Congress of Përmet (the event depicted), Ramadan Çitaku and Spiro Moisiu (two of the participants), but I am unsure whether the joint photograph of the participants has sufficient contextual relevance to those articles.
  6. File:Motorized Royal Army of Albania.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Vinie007 (talk · contribs) 11:35, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: This image is claimed to have been published in a 1921 book, which would put it into the public domain in the US as well as in Albania. However, several other images of the same uploader (last active in 2015) claimed different publication dates for the same book (1931 and 1936). While it is conceivable that these refer to different editions of the same book, there is no record of a book of the name "Ustishe te Zogus" anywhere to be found outside of references to those files.
      The file is not currently in use.
  7. File:Shahin Kolonja.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Mondiad (talk · contribs) 11:43, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Unused free file, duplicate of Commons file c:File:Shahin Kolonja (portrait).jpg which is in use on the subject's article instead. Its quality is not very good, despite its high resolution.
      In my opinion, there is nothing gained from keeping it here. It should either be moved to Commons if its resolution is found to be an advantage over the Commons file or deleted as a worse duplicate.
  8. File:Saranda and vlora 1936.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Cloudaoc (talk · contribs) 13:09, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: US copyright was restored by the URAA and will not expire until 2032. The image is in use at Albanian Navy (1914-1939) where the size of the depicted ship is commented on; I am not sure that will suffice for non-free use.
  9. File:Raúl Prebisch.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Sherlock4000 (talk · contribs) 13:35, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: This file has been deleted with the reasoning that it has not been proven to have been first published in Argentina. In either case, 25 25 years after it was taken brings us to beyond 1996, and therefore this image would still be protected in the US thanks to the URAA. There is a free alternative available on Commons at c:File:Raul Prebisch (cropped).tif.
  10. File:Frank Farrell 1940s.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Sticks66 (talk · contribs) 11:30, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: There is no evidence that this image is from before 1946 and therefore unaffected by the URAA. A free 1943 image of Frank Farrell is already in use in the article.
  11. File:Fred de Belin.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Gibson Flying V (talk · contribs) 11:50, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

  12. File:Harry Sunderland.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Florrie (talk · contribs) 15:18, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: No evidence that this image is from before 1 January 1946, from when on Australian photographs have been captured by URAA restoration. A free alternative could be cropped from c:File:1932 Kangaroos.jpeg, or better, from the much higher resolution version of that image available from the National Library of Australia.

  14. File:Highlandestate-map.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified SMC (talk · contribs) 15:41, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: This image is supposedly free in Australia as an anonymous work. However, there is clearly a signature at the bottom and no indication of when the author died. This uncertainty will presumably preclude it from Commons until 2050, although we could restore it as PD in the US only in January 2025, since its US copyright will then have expired after the usual 95 year term.

  19. File:JosephCook4.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Timeshift9 (talk · contribs) 14:42, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: According to the signature (visible here, this portrait is by Norman Carter, who died in 1963. Thus Australian copyright will last until 2033 inclusive. The painting has apparently been painted in 1921, which if published then would place it public domain in the US. However, I could not ascertain its exhibition history or whether it was displayed in public where copies could have easily been made, so I am unsure about the US publication timetable. The image is orphaned.

    • Reason: No source and no indication of when the image was taken or published. The subject was alive until 1962 and Lord Mayer of Brisbane until 1952. The photograph would have to have been taken before 1946 to be free of copyright in the US.
      The image is in use on the article of the subject, but free alternatives are available at Commons.
  21. File:Kangaroo Bay.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified 42° South (talk · contribs) 15:57, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: A painting which from the State Library of Tasmania which they variously credit to artist F.J. Lloyd (d. 1956) (for instance on this instagram post) or treat as the work of an unknown artist (as on this blog entry). Since the latest attribution to F. J. Lloyd is from 8 weeks ago, I would tend not to treat it as an anonymous work but as a work by Lloyd, which would then be under copyright in Australia until 2026 inclusive. Whether it is still in copyright in the US would depend on its publication history, and thus whether it was catalogued or exhibited somewhere where copies could be made freely. Unfortunately, I was unable to find anything on its exhibition history, and it is unlikely to be common knowledge given the present uncertainty about its authorship.
  22. File:Kearley Calcutta.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Majormax (talk · contribs) 16:08, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Painting by Dacre Smyth (1923-2008). While the exact date of creation is not given, it will certainly have been after 1928, and Australian copyright will still run until 2078 inclusive. While the file is in use in three articles, I doubt that a modern depiction of a historical event over 200 years ago satisfies the criteria for non-free content.

    • Reason: US copyright in this 1953 Australian image was restored by the URAA restoration in 1996. It is in use at Ken Kearney, together with File:Ken Kearney.JPG, another non-free (URAA-restored) image. Presumably, either of them is sufficient for identification, so unless this file is deemed preferable to File:Ken Kearney.JPG for some reason, it would probably have to be deleted.

    • Reason: No evidence that this is not a recent rendering which attracts new copyright.

    • Reason: Orphaned file with no provenance. If from after 1928, it will in all likelihood still be copyrighted in the US due to the URAA restorations. As we know nothing about its authorship, it may well even still be copyrighted in Turkey today if the photographer died after 1953.
  2. File:Len Smith 1947.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Sticks66 (talk · contribs) 16:35, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Non-free in the US due to URAA restoration. There are already other free images in the article on the player from which his portrait could conceivably be cropped, but they are all quite low resolution themselves and therefore would make for a very low resolution crop. I am not sure how that affects replaceability, since of course someone could go to the Archive where the image is kept and make a higher resolution scan.
  3. File:Leyland railmotor no.51.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Dan027 (talk · contribs) 16:57, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Undated photo of a railcar that was still in service until 1954. If the photo was from after 1945, it is still copyrighted in the US. I exchanged it at Leyland railmotor for a similar image from the same source which is dated and certainly free in both the US and Australia.

    • Reason: The photographer's consent should really be brought directly to VRT; as is, there is no evidence of permission.
  2. File:JamesfLight.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Springsgrace (talk · contribs) 10:17, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: No evidence presented for why it should have been published without a copyright notice or before 1963, when renewal was still required.
      I have not been able to locate a free photograph of the individual in question, so relicensing as non-free may be an alternative.
