Good day. The map is not an AI map; it's a real historical map. However, it says "Oldmaps" on it. I would like to request that you remove the word "Oldmaps" from Chatcpt and display it in its original form. I wanted it. Please take a look; this was the first version of the map.

File:Lenin10.jpg

This file was initially tagged by Materialscientist as Dw no source since (dw no source since) Krd 06:39, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

Let me clarify. First, the image does look weird, as if Lenin is severely ill, and the photograph was taken poorly (or heavily retouched, which is a potential concern). As this photo is a historical document, a proper source is required, preferably with pertinent details of the photo. Second, it would be great to have sourced details on author/publication. Without them it is a potential copyvio. The arguments from the previous DR above are unsubstantiated - "the author died before 1 January 1942" - how do we know that? Materialscientist (talk) 06:51, 6 March 2026 (UTC)
Well, the description says the photo was taken by Maria Ilyinichna Ulyanova who died in 1937, so we know that “the author died before 1 January 1942”. Or do you doubt the claim that the photo was taken by Ulyanova? Just asking in order to understand what’s the problem. – Aristeas (talk) 10:00, 6 March 2026 (UTC)
Where can we verify that it was taken by Ulyanova? Materialscientist (talk) 20:26, 6 March 2026 (UTC)
It's is very likely because his illness was kept secret from the public so that only someone who was close to him could have taken the photo. A online available research paper at least confirms that the photo was taken in Lenin's last year of life, and it states that his condition was kept secret. Given that he was partially paralyzed, to keep his illness secret, he must have not gone out much, if at all, and only close people were allowed to see him. Plus, the paper states that his attending doctors were probably paid to keep silent. It's just extremely unlikely that some external third party photographer managed to take a photo of Lenin under these circumstances. Nakonana (talk) 17:21, 30 April 2026 (UTC)

This image gives me miso-sloppia. More importantly it’s an unused AI image that features a lot of wonky details and could easily be represented without AI Dronebogus (talk) 11:26, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

 Keep 1. good quality 2. in use on a user-page and 3. most importantly, a good useful representation of the intended subject 4. not just that but apparently the only free-licensed illustration of the subject in the world. Prototyperspective (talk) 12:50, 6 March 2026 (UTC)
Only freely licensed depiction? That’s embarrassing. I’ll have to draw something myself then. Otherwise: 1) no, not good quality, there are a number of misgenerated objects in the background; 2) userpage images are not counted as COM:INUSE; and 3) I debate whether this is actually a good representation of the subject because it’s not obvious where the sound is coming from. It relies on onomatopoeia in text bubbles so it’s language dependent. Dronebogus (talk) 13:28, 6 March 2026 (UTC)
I haven't spotted any misgeneration issues in the image even after actively looking for it bow so I doubt they are compromising the usefulness of the image. I did not say the userpage use is counted as INUSE but it's still a point for keeping it. Where the sound is coming from is not important to the illustration.

File:Братская могила советских воинов Гнездилово Болховский районюОрловская область.JPG

There is no freedom of panorama in Russia for sculpture and probably the photo violates sculptor's copyright. This is after-WWII memorial. Taivo (talk) 11:41, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

But USA demands 95+1 years from publication, that means until 2066. As anonymous work is very unlikely, the sculpture can be copyrighted in Russia even longer, depends on when the sculptor died. Taivo (talk) 09:40, 7 March 2026 (UTC)

why you think what this is anonymous work? SomeFancyUsername (talk) 03:30, 9 March 2026 (UTC)
Could you provide a source for the year of creation please? I'd add it to the Russian cultural heritage data base on ru-wikivoyage, @SomeFancyUsername. Nakonana (talk) 14:24, 9 May 2026 (UTC)
@Nakonana I cannot found the source what claims what this sculpture was erected in 1970. (But I remember what I somewhere found it)

Do you really claim, that this is anonymous sculpture? Sorry, I do not believe that. And even if it is, the sculpture is protected with copyright in USA until 2044 (95+1 years from creation). Taivo (talk) 09:37, 7 March 2026 (UTC)
I can agree with you, but only what this statue is not free in US.
I did some research and found what author is Н.Соболь, but I cannot found any information of the sculptor, so this is a work what published under a pseudonym and this statue became PD after 70 years of erecting per COM:Ukraine.
Claiming what work is copyrighted is not always enough to be removed from commons. SomeFancyUsername (talk) 16:11, 7 March 2026 (UTC)
@SomeFancyUsername since we know the identity of the sculptor, it is no longer a pseudonymous work. Just because there is no information on his death year doesn't magically make the work a pseudonymous work. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contributions) 23:55, 15 March 2026 (UTC)
@JWilz12345 I can agree with you, but in case of this DR I cannot found more information about the sculptor (like photos of him, other works or confirm what Н.Соболь is his actual name), so that's why I think what this statue is a pseudonymous work. SomeFancyUsername (talk) 07:57, 16 March 2026 (UTC)
@SomeFancyUsername perhaps this image won't be undeleted until the next generation. See {{PD-old-assumed}} for works by authors with unknown death years. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contributions) 08:15, 16 March 2026 (UTC)
in Ukraine works enter PD after 70 years of publication if author in anonymous or publish work under pseudonym. SomeFancyUsername (talk) 09:12, 16 March 2026 (UTC)
@SomeFancyUsername it has been a de facto norm on Commons to only undelete images of works whose authors have no certain death years 120 years after creation or publication, based on that template. My UNDEL request on a building here got denied, which made me realize the purpose of this template. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contributions) 09:45, 16 March 2026 (UTC)
I also did some digging, unfortunately, with similar results: 1949 work by N. Sobol (Н. Соболь). There's a sculptor named Nikolay Sobol (w:uk:Соболь Микола Сергійович) but having been born in 1937 it's fairly certain that he has not authored this sculpture. His son also goes by that name but is obviously even younger.
Then there's a artist named Naum Sobol (w:uk:Соболь Наум Фeдорович) who lived 1898–1967 and would fit the bill age-wise, but he's described as being a "painter, graphic artist, theater artist/painter" rather than a sculptor — although I've got to say I've come across cases where 2D artists had authored some 3D works.
The Artists Union databank also doesn't have any other entries on "Соболь Н" other than the above. The only additional info is that the sculptor worked at the Zaporizhzhia Art and Production Workshops (Запорожские художественно-производственные мастерские). So, undelete in 2069 it is, I guess.

Low quality AI slop; uploader personal interest only, out of Commons scope MPF (talk) 21:50, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

Hi! As the creator of this image, I have a few questions/comments.
Most importantly, I would like to push back against the AI slop comment. I spent about two hours creating this myself on canva by moving layers around and playing with different elements and shapes. To be clear, this is NOT AI. It was 100% human generated.
I can see the personal interest angle. The reason I uploaded it was because I was practicing adding images to a wikipedia page (my own user page) and I needed something that I had created myself as to not interfere with any copyrights. If practice is not allowed, that's fine. I'm still very much a beginner, and I apologize if I broke any rules.
