Files in Category:Monument to the Anti-Communist Resistance, Cluj-Napoca
In most countries, all paintings, sculpture, architecture, text, and other creative works have copyrights which last for 70 years after the death of the creator. An image of a work that is still under copyright is a derivative work, and infringes on the copyright so that we cannot usually keep the image on Commons. In some countries, there is a special exception to the copyright law which allows such images under certain circumstances. We call that exception freedom of panorama (FOP). Unfortunately there is no applicable FOP exception in Romania.

File:Grance affresco asedio di torino (01).jpg
This is a 1938 painting by Luigi Rigorini (1879–1956) and Antonio Rigorini (1909–1997). Although it copies a composition by Ignace Jacques Parrocel (d. 1722), this specific work is a 20th-century painting. The work remains under copyright in life+70 jurisdictions. Underlying lk (talk) 03:25, 19 February 2026 (UTC)
- @Underlying lk, could you link a photo of the work by Parrocel? If this was an attempt at an exact copy and does not differ in any noticeable way from the original, might it not be covered by the "faithful representation" exception to copyright? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:23, 11 June 2026 (UTC)
- Link. I'd say it looks different enough to not count as a faithful reproduction.--Underlying lk (talk) 04:52, 13 June 2026 (UTC)
- Thank you very much. If both photos are accurate, the obvious differences in color jump out at the viewer, and therefore, this copy would obviously be subject to normal copyright laws, as you say. Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:45, 14 June 2026 (UTC)

category:Photographs distributed by Associated Press states that "AP sells many old photos today from their archives that were not published at the time". Evidence of publication is therefore necessary for these files to be kept.
– Howardcorn33 (💬) 15:57, 19 February 2026 (UTC)
- Adding the AP link for context. It was added there (the AP News Room online archive and picture library) in 1998, with a copyright statement of ©1958. So it was either published in 1958 or 1998, with a huge difference in rights depending on which one. This is a hard one - it really needs someone with a newspaper archive to go through 1958 sports sections to be sure. Best I've found so far is circumstantial evidence from another AP News Room image . AP News Room makes the same copyright statement, but it clearly was been published in 1958 without a copyright notice, so the News Room copyright assertion cannot be treated as conclusive. This image Not close to conclusive proof for the image in question, but does raise the likelihood that it was not registered Hub Kid (talk) 18:48, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

Comment: I also included the category. Kyrgyzstanthefan (talk) 19:15, 19 February 2026 (UTC)- As the one who created the category (while patrolling at hrwiki), let me correct you: there IS a Croatian Wikipedia article hr:Ivica Maček and there may be some offline coverage - not everything was on the internet back in the 1970s and 1980s. The article itself was kept. Just saying, Ponor (talk) 19:32, 19 February 2026 (UTC)
- I worked with the author on his Wikipedia article, and I don't believe this is beyond scope. The author is notable (at least per local hrwiki criteria) and many if not all of the caricatures were published in various magazines, as well as displayed in an exhibition back in the 1980s. It's also worth mentioning that he put them in the public domain himself, so there's realistically no reason to get rid of them. ☀ Rȕnolīst | þⰁč 10:01, 20 February 2026 (UTC)
- File:1984 World Chess Championship Anatoly Karpov and Garry Kasparov Naslovnica PCN, LA USA.png: judging by the edges of this file, it was published in some kind of print media, so that there's a chance that the artist is/was notable to some degree.

This file was initially tagged by Satirdan kahraman as Copyvio (copyvio) and the most recent rationale was: author of this text Reşat Ekrem Koçu was dead in 1975 (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q465097). was dead in
=> died in. The question, though, is whether this was work for hire (protected 70 years from publication) or not (protected 70 years from author's death). If the latter, then indeed it needs to deleted, but should be listed at Category:Undelete in 2046. Jmabel ! talk 19:32, 19 February 2026 (UTC)
- Actually, this photo is taken from a newspaper article written by Reşat Ekrem Koçu, who died in 1975.

This article describes both the history of the monument and its physical appearance." Satirdan kahraman (talk) 19:52, 19 February 2026 (UTC)

There is no historical source for this. This appears to be made up. This fails Commons' purpose to provide educational media content

- This seems also made up for me but why don't just add the template Fictitious flag? Plantfan (talk) 08:00, 5 March 2026 (UTC)
- First, because I did not know about {{Fictitious flag}}. Second, it still should be deleted because it is not in accord with Commons:Project scope#Aim of Wikimedia Commons:
The aim of Wikimedia Commons is to provide a media file repository:
• that makes available public domain and freely-licensed educational media content to all [...] - This came to my attention because it was used in this version of the enwiki article w:en:Ostrogothic Kingdom. As of 9 March 2026, it is fraudulently used on six pages on three different language Wikipedias. Peaceray (talk) 17:46, 9 March 2026 (UTC)

Delete uncredited duplicate of File:Gothic flag.svg, which then again appears to be a copyright violation as the Commons upload is predated by one day by this post on reddit where the flag is introduced. (The date of the reddit post is shown in a reverse image search via Google Lens.) There's also another reddit post where someone claims to be the author of this flag and points to a Facebook post as the place where the flag was originally introduced (but I can't access the Facebook post to check the date). The username on reddit neither matches the username of the uploader of File:Gothic flag.svg nor the username of the uploader of the nominated file of this DR.

Professional-quality photographs, each with differing resolutions and metadata indicating use of different camera models, including three distinct cameras used within the same year (see: link, link, link), yet all are claimed as “own work” by the same uploader.

Large batch of images uploaded within a short timeframe in 2006, all claimed as own work, with multiple different camera models appearing across the set:
- KODAK DX4530 ZOOM DIGITAL CAMERA on 2006-06-09
- NIKON D2X on 2006-05-31
- Nikon E4300 on 2006-04-27
- Nikon E2100 on 2006-04-27
- Olympus C4100Z/C4000Z on 2006-04-27
- Fujifilm FinePix A303 on 2006-04-23
- Nikon E995 on 2006-02-22
Other images in the batch lack metadata entirely and given the broader pattern, should likely also be deleted as a precaution.

- Yes, it looks very suspicious.
- Just out of interest: how did you discover it? A bot? Maxyudin (talk) 10:22, 20 February 2026 (UTC)
Keep I see no reasons to delete these historical images. Nothing wrong in usage of many cameras (I have even more). Most cameras are very cheap, however. No results in image search to assume copyvios. Юрий Д.К. 21:24, 22 February 2026 (UTC)
- The concern isn't "is it possible for to own multiple cameras" - obviously it is. It's the pattern. Checking your uploads, I see long runs with the same camera, maybe switching bodies occasionally but not chaotically. When you do switch cameras, there’s logic behind it. They're used for specific types of shots and there's subject continuity.
- This uploader on the other hand - no clean clusters, it's just a grab-bag of random camera models. Which is not how people shoot.
- The metadata gaps don’t help either. People do strip EXIF, sure - but not this inconsistently across otherwise unrelated images. Here you have images jump arbitrarily between one low-end camera from the early 2000s to the next, and there is no plausible shooting pattern in which a single photographer would alternate between so many unrelated cheap devices without any consistent grouping, especially while also inconsistently stripping metadata. Which strongly suggests these were random images pulled from the internet.
No results in image search

- It would be a shame to loose this superb image. If the copyright holder is also the uploader would it be a copyvio, if he/she had licensed the image elsewhere prior to uploading? Do we assume guilty until proven innocent or innocent until proven guilty? The uploader appears to have only uploaded the three images as his/her totality of activity. The uploader also provided the following image with a dead-link website: File:Content Marketing Periodic Table.png. Absent an explanation from the uploader, which is not likely to be forthcoming, I assume that we must declare a copyvio. HopsonRoad (talk) 13:22, 20 February 2026 (UTC)

File:Art-Protocolaire Note-Doctrinale-V2 Friction.pdf
Out of scope: plain text. A strange document in French, possibly an artistic manifesto? Omphalographer (talk) 22:58, 19 February 2026 (UTC)
- Keep.
- Thank you for your review and for your vigilance, @Omphalographer. I appreciate the work you do to keep Commons clean and relevant.
- However, I would like to clarify the nature of this file. While it may look like "plain text," it is actually an artistic artifact belonging to the Protocol Art movement (a direct lineage of Conceptual Art).
- In this specific field of contemporary art, the document, the instruction, or the "Note Doctrinale" is not mere information; it is the primary media of the artwork. It illustrates the "administrative aesthetic" and the "ontic turn" described in the French Wikipedia article fr:Art protocolaire.
- This document is essential for educational and research purposes as it provides the theoretical framework and the "metrological" instructions for the work of Grégoire Falque. It is a digital component of a conceptual practice, and as such, it falls within the educational scope of Wikimedia Commons.
- Best regards, Paulschlactars (talk) 19:20, 11 March 2026 (UTC)
- Even as "artistic artifacts", these are out of scope. Wikimedia Commons is not an art exhibition; if you are trying to present these newly created works to the public, you need to do so elsewhere. Omphalographer (talk) 02:34, 13 March 2026 (UTC)
- @Paulschlactars, if you want to keep a text document, use it in some appropriate article. Normally, texts that are not COM:INUSE are deleted, unless they are considered likely to be used by Wikibooks or Wikiversity. Could you make a good argument for keeping this document on that basis? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:54, 11 June 2026 (UTC)
