Unclear scope. Appears to promote uploader's business.

William Graham (talk) 00:44, 22 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. These four files are the visual components of a peer-reviewed technical publication formally deposited at Zenodo (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20209225, published May 15, 2026, 59 views, 34 downloads, indexed in OpenAIRE). The publication documents the immunological basis of rabies serology and RFFIT/FAVN methodology in companion animals — the same content illustrated by these diagrams.

The nominator's reason is 'unclear scope, appears to promote uploader's business.' With respect, this criterion conflates institutional affiliation with promotional intent. Every scientific diagram is created by someone affiliated with an institution. The standard for inclusion in Commons is educational value and free licensing — not the professional background of the creator.

These files meet both criteria: they are released under CC BY 4.0 and illustrate verifiable scientific concepts documented in peer-reviewed literature (McElhinney et al., 2026, Vaccine, DOI: 10.1016/j.vaccine.2026.128369; Wallace et al., 2017). None of the four files contains prices, contact information, or any commercial element.

The creating institution, Zoovet Travel, holds verifiable persistent identifiers: ORCID 0009-0002-6837-5311 (lead researcher Jessica Ysabel Camacho García, M.V.Z., CMVP 12434). The Zenodo community hosting this work is titled 'Zoovet Travel Technical Series in International Companion Animal Transport Medicine' — a research series, not a marketing campaign.

If similar diagrams exist elsewhere, the nominator is welcome to provide links. To my knowledge, no equivalent open-access scientific diagrams on rabies serology for companion animal export exist in Commons or elsewhere.

File:Memorial to Louis J. Robichaud.jpg

This memorial to Canadian politician Louis J. Robichaud has four components. I'm concerned about whether Canadian law on freedom of panorama applies to the portrait of Robichaud himself. DS (talk) 02:06, 22 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, I think COM:FOP Canada applies to the "portrait" component also, as it appears to be a 2D "work of artistic craftsmanship", which is allowed under Canada's FOP. Thanks. Tvpuppy (talk) 10:33, 22 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

How so? DS (talk) 12:03, 22 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Are you asking why I think it is a 2D "work of artistic craftsmanship"? This is because the "portrait" component doesn't appear to be a painting or a photograph, but it appears to be an engraving on the stone. This means it has both "artistic" and "craftsmanship" elements to it, hence it should be considered as a "work of artistic craftsmanship". See COM:FOP Canada and Commons:Artistic craftsmanship for more details. Thanks. Tvpuppy (talk) 15:51, 22 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, and thank you. DS (talk) 16:57, 22 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

File:Science Fiction Art Robot Narcissist.png

Used to illustrate “narcissism in the workplace” on arwiki, but is so obviously not representative of that I would say INUSE does not legitimately apply here as it isn’t being used educationally. Dronebogus (talk) 03:49, 22 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep as clearly being COM:INUSE in arwiki mainspace, which the nominator acknowledges. It does not matter if it is of poor quality or otherwise appears to lack educational value.

Identifiable person in a private place, consent not given Peulle (talk) 08:26, 22 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
The image was nominated for QI and a discussion started. I noticed that the Commons official guidelines state that: "Publishing a photo of an identifiable person in a private place usually requires consent, and Commons expects this even if relevant laws do not require it." The woman in the picture appears to not want to be photographed (additionally, there is a child in the picture, increasing the gravity of the situation), and the photographer has not indicated that consent has been given. The woman looks like she is very much annoyed at the presence of a drone taking photos of her private property. It should therefore not be on Commons. --Peulle (talk) 08:30, 22 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
The building and the entire property belong to the Bystrzyca Kłodzka commune, it is not private property. --Jacek Halicki (talk) 09:07, 30 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Although we don't have a law against sharing photographs of toys in the UK (because we don't have massively punitive fines (as in the US) for such things in our courts, so it's not financially advantageous for either side) – I know you will just keep repeating yourselves and ignoring me, which I find distressing because you've done it before with scarecrows, so just delete it and leave me in peace. It's sad to have to say this. No British toy manufacturer would lose out due to the use of this picture; in fact they would gain from the publicity, and the local charity which ran the scarecrow festival would lose out if the photo were deleted because it is/was publicity for their work. But that's how it is on WP.

Just delete it and leave me in peace about this picture. I am sick and tired of aggressive US legal greed. I don't even know how your country's big-ass lawyers would make any money out of suing WP over this picture, because this is a British-manufactured toy, and British manufacturers would not bother to pay expensive US lawyers for wasting their time, and the aggressive US legal system is about money, not morality, so it would back off if there was no big money it. Or are you not really interested in protecting WP? Are you just in this to keep up your personal deletion rate? Storye book (talk) 17:05, 22 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

: I should add that there is no Disney copyright infringement in this image. The toy manufacturer has been careful to avoid copying Disney details. If you care to look at the original film (see parts of it here) you will see that in the above scarecrow image the shape is different, the eyes are different, eyebrows are missing, the mouth is different, the spots are arranged differently. The collars don't count because the scarecrow creator has added separate ribbon which is not part of the inflatable toy. Any self-respecting Disney representative would want nothing to do with this very different (and less characterful) design. Storye book (talk) 08:43, 24 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

File:Simsir Map.jpg

This file is a copyright violation and a fictional map. The uploader falsely claimed own work but in reality, this image is a low-quality, cropped screenshot directly taken from a fictional historical edit published on social media. The distinctive visual style including the heavy vignette effect, specific digital shading, and low resolution, is characteristic of these social media video edits. Furthermore, the map depicts a highly ahistorical and fictionalized territory labeled as Simsir that has zero academic or historical backing. In conclusion, this file must be deleted for these reasons. Liptink0 (talk) 13:39, 22 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

File:Europe-Simsir.png

This file is a completely fictional map and a clear case of misinformation that lacks any academic or historical backing. The user uploaded this map to represent the medieval region or kingdom of Simsim, but the borders shown are heavily exaggerated and ahistorical. According to the verifiable historical text on the Wikipedia article for Simsim, this entity was a small local principality predominantly localized roughly in eastern Chechnya (Ichkeria), with some connections to the Kumyk Plain and Ingushetia. However this map falsely depicts Simsim as a massive country covering almost the entire Northeast Caucasus. Since there is absolutely no historical source or text justifying these borders, the map constitutes a severe project scope violation and spreads misinformation. It should be deleted for lack of verifiability. Liptink0 (talk) 14:09, 22 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Does {{AI upscaled}} need an add'l parameter to indicate the original, unaltered image was uploaded sorta - alongside / is in the history? For use on these? Maybe we should alter Commons:AI_images_of_identifiable_people#Altered_images so what's been done is considered OK, or actually do as told there?

Some need further editing of some kind...

RememberOrwell, I must have misclicked or forgotten to "keep" VavaBellini.
File:SegundoVilladoniga.jpg turned out not to be AI, but didn't have a source when I nominated it either. The default for this uploader when there's no source is "do not trust".

Unclear license. Inaturalist source is CC-BY-NC, which would make it not eligible to be on Commons. Flickr source is with a license valid for Commons. TansoShoshen (talk) 18:00, 22 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Being both his official accounts, both licenses work, so we can use the most permisive one (kind of multi-licensing). It should not be deleted. PFSV-UY (talk) 18:22, 22 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Here we confirm that the account of Flickr and the account of iNaturalist are managed by the same person (or it has the approval), so both are 100% official sources. Given this, it is not longer a unclear license case but rather a multi-license one, in which we can use the license that works for us. PFSV-UY (talk) 19:49, 22 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Files in Category:Passport photographs of Tupac Shakur

Per Commons:Deletion requests/File:Ross Ulbricht passport photo.jpg

Howardcorn33 (talk) 09:59, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep No copyright per this discussion Bremps... 11:42, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

We appear to be referencing two contradictory discussions then. The only relevant guideline I can find is at Category:United States passport photos, which reads:

Passport photos, while taken by a third party, are taken to government specifications and may not meet the "threshold of originality" that would allow a copyright in the name of the person operating the shutter or the company providing the service. Or they may. Commons:Deletion requests/File:Janisjoplin.png was deleted even though it was a US passport photo. In 2019, Kinga Kijak-Markiewicz wrote: "passport photos are not subject to copyright."[8]. However in 2020, this sentence was removed.[9]

This is inconclusive. Perhaps we need to initiate a broader discussion on US passport photos. Howardcorn33 (talk) 12:43, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I think I have found a relevant passage from a law journal which suggests that US passport photos are free of copyright:

With all these photographs — photographs of museum paintings, images captured at ATMs and by immigration officials stamping your passport, Google Maps Street View, aerial reconnaissance photographs — there is no originality to give rise to copyright. These images may have copyright in the few countries that still base copyright protection on "sweat of the brow," but not in the United States or most countries in the European Union."
— in: (in English) Hughes, Justin (2012). "The Photographer’s Copyright – Photograph as Art, Photograph as Database". Harvard Journal of Law & Technology 25 (347).

Does this definitively say if passport photos are free of copyright in the US? --Howardcorn33 (talk) 13:25, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Google Maps Street View too? This could be huge. Bremps... 15:23, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hell yeah. Bremps... 03:45, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've created a separate discussion here. Anyway, I think we need further input on the Tupac images, maybe delete it if we're not sure per the precautionary principle. Howardcorn33 (talk) 13:19, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete It is a crappy photo with minimal skill, but that does not mean the photo has no copyright. In the US, passport photos are not taken by government employees. Instead, the applicant must furnish the photo. I can go to a local pharmacy and get such a photo for a few dollars. The copyright belongs to the store; they sell me the copies I submit to the passport office. We need proof that the passport photo has a free license. Glrx (talk) 22:39, 30 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Files in Category:Human faces cloaked by censor bars in the Epstein files

While the photographs might be PD-USGov that does not apply to the photographs and paintings depicted in the files (unless the federal government painted those as well)

It's possible DE-MINIS might apply but that's something we have to consider for each individual file

Keep these as I think the framed photographs/paintings are de minimis in the images:
