Delete. SomeFancyUsername, please familiarize yourself with COM:COIN policy: A photograph of a 3D object has two requirements before it can be included. The first is that the design of the coin itself is not copyrighted, or permission has been obtained. The second is that the photographer agrees to license it under a free licence. Komarof (talk) 11:45, 22 February 2026 (UTC)
- Order ≠ currency.
- Also, USSR and Russian orders and currency are uncopyrightable, so your reply is meaningless. SomeFancyUsername (talk) 12:26, 22 February 2026 (UTC)
- User:SomeFancyUsername, once you have some experience and knowledge of the generally accepted practice on this matter (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and so on), your opinion will be highly appreciated. Komarof (talk) 12:50, 22 February 2026 (UTC)
- I re-type and slightly edit my reply:
- USSR and Russian orders are NOT copyrighted
- This photos is very possibly below COM:TOO SomeFancyUsername (talk) 12:54, 22 February 2026 (UTC)
- Try reading the above again: regardless of whether the 3D object itself is in the public domain or not, its photograph is a separate copyright object. Komarof (talk) 13:00, 22 February 2026 (UTC)
- If depicted object is 90% of the photo, then copyright status of the photo is same as the object. SomeFancyUsername (talk) 13:04, 22 February 2026 (UTC)

Out of scope: no reference attests to the existence of this coat of arms. The uploader trusted an information without verifying it, and made this CoA based on this. So unless there are further elements, this CoA is invalid. @Blazooner:
Kontributor 2K (talk) 11:17, 22 February 2026 (UTC)
- I don't understand this remark and don't agree: I just added a missing image next to a blazon written by another contributor.
- When I make my design, I checked (or added) the source: https://armorialdefrance.fr/page_blason.php?ville=1857 which references itself a book: "Armes municipales en Pays Ornais, Denis Joulain."
- Are you saying the website do not follow what is written on the book or that the book itself is wrong?
- I saw that you've just edited the page (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armorial_des_communes_de_l%27Orne) which is now corrupted and thus impossible to read/check/understand for this article. Blazooner (talk) 12:34, 22 February 2026 (UTC)

Je souhaite apporter une précision importante concernant cette image afin de lever toute ambiguïté sur les droits d'auteur. La mention de l'utilisation de cette photographie dans un ouvrage, présente dans la description, est une information purement contextuelle et historique. Elle ne signifie en aucun cas une cession de droits au profit de l'éditeur. La photographe, avec qui je collabore directement pour ce versement, confirme les points suivants :
- Elle est l'unique titulaire des droits d'auteur sur cette œuvre.
- L'utilisation de l'image dans le livre mentionné s'est faite sous une licence simple de reproduction, sans transfert de propriété intellectuelle ni clause d'exclusivité.
- L'éditeur ne dispose d'aucun droit lui permettant de s'opposer à la publication de cette image sous licence libre (CC BY-SA).
L'admissibilité de l'image sur Wikimedia Commons est donc parfaitement régulière, puisque l'auteur original exerce ici son droit légitime de partager son travail. Je vous remercie de bien vouloir classer cette requête de suppression.

File:Fermat Last Theorem "proof" registered by Ukraine officials.jpg
Reason for Dispute/Deletion: Intentional Image Tampering: The State Coat of Arms of Ukraine (Tryzub) at the top of the document is visibly obscured, blurred, or digitally altered. Official state certificates from the State Department of Intellectual Property (2008) are strictly standardized; any alteration of state symbols is a hallmark of a forged or manipulated image. Lack of Verifiability: A search of the official State Register of Copyright Certificates of Ukraine yields no results for Certificate No. 26810 dated December 5, 2008. This lack of a verifiable digital trail violates the Verifiability (V) policy, especially for a document used to make broad claims about state institutions. Contextual Misrepresentation (Propaganda): This image is being utilized as a tool for disinformation and disparagement. It is presented to falsely suggest that the Ukrainian government "certified" a scientific proof. In reality, copyright registration is a clerical act that protects the textual form, not the scientific validity. Presenting this as "state-endorsed science" is a deliberate misrepresentation of law and fact, serving as a classic example of pro-Russian propaganda designed to mock Ukrainian institutions. No Authoritative Secondary Sources: There are no credible, peer-reviewed, or independent news sources confirming the existence or validity of this specific document. Its use constitutes Original Research (OR) based on a dubious primary source. Conclusion: Due to signs of digital manipulation, lack of official verification, and its use as a weaponized tool for misinformation, this image should be removed or marked as unreliable/propaganda.

File:William Bassett in The Young and Restless 1982.jpg
No evidence this photo was published in the USA prior to 1989 without a copyright notice. Just because it was taken in 1982 does not automatically make it Public Domain. The source simply states it is a "1982 TV Old Photo". This does not appear to be a publicity photo of the time, without seeing the rear side no stamped date or studio info, lack of a copyright notice cannot be confirmed. This is more likely to be a modern reproduction. Many old photos from the 50s-80s, were taken but left unpublished until the internet era, where they now end up on Getty Images, where I also found the image.

Suspected not own work, file is visually blurry and has been cropped using Window's Photo app per metadata. This appears to me to be a screenshot of some video (probably on Facebook). TansoShoshen (talk) 16:22, 22 February 2026 (UTC)
Support I am the copyright holder of this work. I took this photo myself. It is not a screenshot from Facebook. The image quality is due to the camera/lighting conditions, and I used a photo app only for cropping. --MODfpsd (talk) 10:06, 23 February 2026 (UTC)

fake picture: background replaced, massive AI upscaling and manipulation with unacceptable results DCB (talk) 16:57, 22 February 2026 (UTC)
Keep Second face removed from File:Rummenige2008-05.jpg. This image is 77 KB and the original was 248 KB, so accusation of upscaling is false. --RAN (talk) 03:56, 24 February 2026 (UTC)
- First of all, upscaling has absolutely nothing to do with file size in KB. Then, of course, this image has been heavily smoothed and recolored, which truly constitutes manipulation with unacceptable results. From a personality rights perspective, this goes far beyond any acceptable limits. DCB (talk) 21:11, 26 February 2026 (UTC)

File:Mel Croucher 2025.png
Photo described as being a publicity image of Mel Croucher from [his] 2025 biography
but it's unclear whether the own work claim is the uploader saying that they took the original photo, or that they personally scanned it in from the book themselves. User has previously uploaded a photo of Croucher taken from another source, which was deleted. As asked at that DR, if Croucher is releasing photos of himself under a free licence it should go through COM:VRT or just be posted to his website under that licence.

Keep good quality, fairly accurate, and consistent style which some may prefer. It doesn't have to be used on a Wikipedia; Commons isn't just for that but also uses outside of any Wikimedia projects. I don't think there's any other set of cat images in a consistent style and this watercolor style may be well suited for various specific applications. Prototyperspective (talk) 12:07, 25 February 2026 (UTC)
Delete If there's one thing we have tons of, it's photos of cats. I fail to see how these are in scope. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 23:24, 1 March 2026 (UTC)
- Because for various realistic applications one may want or prefer an illustration as opposed to a photo. For example an illustrated book about cats where it would cost several times as much if those were photos or just because one prefers to have such illustrations. Maybe the use-case here is more for providing an example how AI tools can be used to create such sets of nonphotographic illustrations, for example for such pictured books but also other things (apps, websites, icons, ...) where one may prefer or need some illustration all in one style instead of a photo or illustrations in different styles. There aren't many such sets on Commons, and Netha made the few good ones there are with the one here being accurate and all good quality. Prototyperspective (talk) 10:21, 2 March 2026 (UTC)
Delete we have plenty of actual illustrations of actual cats; AI imaginings of what cats might look like unhelpful at best and possibly misleading -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 23:53, 2 March 2026 (UTC)
Delete per nominator, The Squirrel Conspiracy, and Infrogmation. Superficial "good quality" isn't a reason to keep AI slop which is easily enough generated on the fly by anyone who needs it. I'm only not processing this request myself as an admin because I feel slightly biased, as I previously nominated images by the uploader for deletion. Still, I would keep these five:
- File:Bombay cat in watercolour.png is used in a userbox template in Chinese Wikipedia and as such in use quite widely there
- File:British shorthair cat in watercolour.png (in use on a recently created user page in English Wikipedia; though the user isn't active yet, I think it's acceptable)

Speedy keep per COM:INUSE freakin EVERYWHERE! -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:41, 16 March 2026 (UTC)
- My comment: that's something to discuss elsewhere.
- It's a fictitious flag and thus shouldn't be used as being a case of personal art/out of scope. The INUSE guideline is a real problem for getting rid of those personal art flags on Commons. There have been multiple Village Pump discussions about it (and there currently is another such discussion). Those flags really don't belong in any article in an encyclopedia (except maybe an article about fictitious flags), they certainly don't belong into the article of Aktau for violating the "original research" guideline and for not being backed by reliable sources. Can Commons' INUSE guideline really be a reason for keeping this flag if the flag's usage in itself constitutes a violation of Wikipedia's article policies? Nakonana (talk) 17:30, 25 March 2026 (UTC)
- If the INUSE really overrides the
- OR/RS violations, the flag should still be
Deleteed because — since it's not an official state symbol — it is still protected by copyright. {{PD-KZ-exempt}} is not applicable for unofficial flags, the file should be deleted as a (likely: net) COM:COPYVIO. The flag is missing essential information, such as date of creation, source, and author. We can't assume PD status without this information. Nakonana (talk) 17:39, 25 March 2026 (UTC)
