Procedural nom. Image has been twice speedy tagged as having no source information. However it seems wrong to delete this file for having no source when the source has no bearing on whether it's PD. The argument that it's PD is the same as is use for a better version on commons - essentially that the medal is PD as it's a work of the federal government and any 2D representation of it does not display enough originality to be copyrightable. Hence source information is irrelevant, as the argument is that it's PD no matter what the source. Not sure that this is quite the right venue for this discussion but no idea where else to have it.

Orphaned, Low Quality, no foreseeable use. Wikipedia is not an image repository. -FASTILY ^(TALK) 10:04, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

These are all photographs of notable actress Billy Burke, and certainly not low quality enough to be worthless; they are quite functional scans of postcards, press photos, etc., and in fact are of no lower quality than the images currently in that article. Based on their age, and the fact that all of them are either works of corporate authorship or (one, I think) works of unknown authorship, they should be the public domain in the UK (their country of origin). So do not delete, instead move to Commons. If there are any that cannot be transferred for whatever reason, see if they can find a place in the article. postdlf (talk) 02:01, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Mass nomination. Orphaned, all rendered obsolete by svg version, no foreseeable use. -FASTILY_s ^(TALK) 10:31, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Has the attribution been checked for all these images? I believe GFDL requires that all prior versions must be kept around. So delete all PD images here (definitely), and check all the others. 124.168.218.102 (talk) 11:05, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I did a spot check, and several of these are in the attribution path of the SVG replacement image (e.g. File:Cyclone Temporary.png, File:World population distribution.jpg). Since this is a mass nomination, keep all and determine the attribution requirements of individual images, and renominate only those that are actually orphans. Titoxd^{(?!? - cool stuff)} 19:19, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, this is a problem so it may be best to close this nomination. Even when a file here has an attribution requirement, the corresponding svg file does not always provide a link back (or even a descriptive reference back). Even in ideal circumstances such as commons:File:Magicroundabout hemel.svg, which does link to its source at en:File:Magicroundabout hemel.gif, this fact is not shown in "file usage" or "what links here" and the {{orphan image}} tagging here was, at best, inappropriate. Thincat (talk) 23:46, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

But Public Domain does not require attribution path, so surely all images here that are tagged PD can be deleted. 124.168.218.102 (talk) 01:01, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

From a licensing point of view I expect you are right. However, for text and media, we are supposed to attribute even to PD material to avoid plagiarism (Wikipedia:PLAGIARISM#Attributing_media_copied_from_other_sources). Of course, if we delete these PD files the actual problem would often emerge on Commons rather than here but we seem to have some responsibility if actions here create the attribution problem. What about external websites, etc., using these files and attributing back to WP? Do we have a responsibility in such situations? Thincat (talk) 09:40, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

~~This file looks like a screencap of an almost certainly copyright TV programme. Has been tagged with OTRS pending since November.~~ ukexpat (talk) 21:49, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Withdrawn. – ukexpat (talk) 01:21, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This file was originally uploaded on 21 November 2011. At the time I did not yet have permission to use it, so I tried to have it tagged under the "Fair Use" clause. When that failed, the file was deleted from the system. I was finally able to get permission from the owner of the copyright on 20 December 2011. He had been very slow to respond. I immediately forwarded his letter of permission to the Permissions Dept. of the OTRS.

I then discussed the new situation with User:Nyttend at my Talk Page (User_talk:Skol_fir#Speedy_deletion_nomination_of_File:Soanya_ahmad-2010.jpg) where he told me what to do next. Please look at the file history since Dec. 31, 2011, especially the diff here. You will see that Nyttend restored the file, as I had already sent the permission letter TWICE to the permissions department (once on 22 December 2011, again on 28 December 2011 ).

On Jan. 1, 2012, I got a letter from the permissions dept. (OTRS) saying they were backed up.

"Thank you for your email.

We've merged tickets #2011122810023737 and #2011122210017219 to ticket #2011122210017219 but didn't deal with them by now.
I'd like to apology for any delay. We're dealing with a huge amount of tickets at the moment.
Yours sincerely,
Florian Löser"

There is no reason to have this file deleted now, when just 8 days ago, the permissions dept. said they were working on my case. Please pay more attention to the history of a file before just brusquely tagging it for deletion. I think I deserve more respect for all the effort I have made to comply with your wishes on this matter. --Skol fir (talk) 22:56, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per above comments, as there is no reason for this file to even be nominated for deletion, at this point in time. --Skol fir (talk) 02:18, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Picture fails the non-free content criteria 8, as it is only used for illustration and doesn't enhance the understanding of the topic and article doesn't contain critical commentary about it. Armbrust, B.Ed. ^{Let's talk}_{about my edits?} 22:07, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Strongly Keep - The reason why File:Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah & Martin Luther King, Jr..jpg should be kept and not deleted is because there is simply no other image of Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah the First-President of Ghana with Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1965 in Ghana. There has been no other photo taken of Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah and Martin Luther King, Jr. together, this is the only image available. Nkrumah and Martin Luther both shared great common interest of Pan-Africanism and were both historic prominent figures so if Nkrumah's article is read properly then one would see that the image does indeed enhance the understanding of the topic and the article does contain critical commentary about it, if not directly. -- MarkMysoe (talk) 23:01, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - The photo is an important element of the biographical article W. E. B. Du Bois. In the later years of his life, he was accused of being a communist by the US govmt (during the McCarthyism witchhunts). The U. S. govmt confiscated Du Bois's passport. At the same time, he fought vigorously to have European colonial powers grant independence to their African colonies. He befriended the leaders of many African nations. After he regained his passport, the president of Ghana invited Du Bois to come to Africa, his ancestral homeland. Du Bois took him up on his offer and went. In a very controversial move, once there, Du Bois renounced his US citizenship and became a citizen of Ghana. The photo shows him with the president of Ghana, soon after he became a citizen of Ghana. Du Bois died within a year of the photo, and is buried in Ghana. All of the preceding information is in the article, and the photo greatly helps the readers' understanding. --Noleander (talk) 22:20, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Strongly Keep - I'm not the one that uploaded this image but I'am strongly in favor for this image to be kept as W. E. B. Du Bois was an historical figure and so was his 95th birthday. If the article is read from the beginning to the end then is would show that the image does indeed enhance the understanding of the topic and the article does contain critical commentary about it. The reason why File:Du Bois 95th birthday in Ghana 1963.jpg should be kept and not deleted is because there is simply no other image of Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah the First-President of Ghana with W. E. B. Du Bois before he died at the age of 95 in 1963 in Ghana other than this image. -- MarkMysoe (talk) 22:59, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned, low quality image of Old Faithful erupting. There is a gallery full of higher quality images of Old Faithful erupting in the article itself, most of which are of substantially higher quality. Sven Manguard Wha? 22:15, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This image is a copyvio. Best I can tell, none of the previous images have been used constructively, and there have been four usurpations now. I.f.f. this gets deleted, I recommend that the title be salted, forcing users to choose a more descriptive name. Sven Manguard Wha? 23:12, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

http://cas.awm.gov.au/item/REL/16518 - the source website, does not give any indication as to when the image was taken. The image is not in the AWM's Flickr Commons collection either. There is no way to be sure that this meets the requirements set by {{PD-AustraliaGov}}, i.e. that was taken over 50 years ago. Sven Manguard Wha? 23:31, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. My mistake. I was thinking of the object, not the photo. I will delete it. Thanks. --Rskp (talk) 23:36, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
