There is no proof that these files are released under KOGL Type 1. The video descriptions do not state which type of KOGL is applied. (There should be a clear statement like this one.)
The MND channel description states that their videos are released under KOGL Type 4 (by-nc-nd).

- I agree to delete most of the videos because they don't clearly specify what type of KOGL license they were distributed under.
- But they should be excluded from the candidates as they also feature an emblem meaning KOGL Type 1 at the beginning of the video. and when I was uploading these videos to Wikimedia Commons, the description of the YouTube channel did not specify a separate license condition.

- To be clearer, when I say "author is not known", I just mean that the uploader has described the photos as having either "Unknown author" or that the author was somehow "José Antonio Primo de Rivera", the subject of the photos. I haven't attempted to find out whether the photographer is on record somewhere, for any of them. Belbury (talk) 11:03, 10 March 2026 (UTC)

File:Tiny Jesus on Hillsborough Street.jpg
This image mainly depicts a figurine. The figurine's copyright is owned by its creator as it has a unique design and not the creator of this image; see COM:TOYS. I'm still undecided on File:Jeep Ducking.jpg, which the nominator cited as being ok, but the main focus on this image is the figurine and it cannot be plausibly de minimis. (also, no FOP in the US outside of buildings/simple structures) HurricaneZetaC 15:20, 9 March 2026 (UTC)
Delete As per nominator. COM:TOYS is pretty clear that in the US there is copyright protection for figurines such as this. Given that Barbie and similar human-modelled figures have been deleted in the past, I don't think the representation of a human figure in itself would be under the TOO. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 15:28, 9 March 2026 (UTC)- Comment You're right about COM:TOYS, even if the toy is made by several low-to-no recognition companies (unlike Barbie), I suppose it was still was made by a person at some point Indeed, toys generally are original (owe their origin to an author), have authors (human creators). I know this is Commons, but since we're both here from the DYK nom, would it be possible to move the image to Wikipedia in low-res to still be used under fair use at the top of the article? @HurricaneZeta and Crisco 1492: Cheers!

Paradise Chronicle (talk) 08:11, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
Keep All these photos have been uploaded within the WLM initiative following an authorization by the Municipality of Campione d'Italia (see here). I don't see why we shouldn't consider the authorization valid. See also previous discussions here and here. Moreover, at least File:Dettagli del casinò di Campione d'Italia 10.jpg, File:Dettagli del casinò di Campione d'Italia 11.jpg, File:Dettagli del casinò di Campione d'Italia 2.jpg, File:Dettagli del casinò di Campione d'Italia 6.jpg, File:Dettagli del casinò di Campione d'Italia 9.jpg seem under the high italian ToO to me, for being too simple or for being merely functional parts of the building without an artistic character.--Friniate (talk) 13:20, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
- Do you believe the authorization also counts for photographs uploaded on other months than September/during the WLM initiative? The key criteria to participate in the contest
is that they are to be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons in September
(2018). None of the files is from 2018, the year the authorization was given, at the time also for the future years of the WLM initiative. Only one was uploaded in September, the last one in September 2022. On the ToO I advocate for wikimedians not to get involved in questions of what has an artistic character and what not. No. 10 and 11 no artistic character? I strongly disagree, those stairs and their environment have in my opinion (as many of Mario Bottas works) a lot of artistic excellence. Paradise Chronicle (talk) 16:54, 23 March 2024 (UTC)- Look at the dates of the uploads, they are different from the ones of creation, most of the photos were taken in 2016 but uploaded in 2018, at first I overlooked that myself. All the photos were uploaded in or after 2018 and always in the month of September (I agree that the authorization doesn't cover photos uploaded outside WLM 2018 and the following editions). Friniate (talk) 17:16, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

- @Speravir Well, there is a link to the authorization through the Template:Monumento italiano, although maybe it could be more visible. I agree that it would be better to have these authorizations in the VRT database, but that is something that should be discussed with the people from WMI who organize the contest (the issue was most recently discussed here by @Ruthven and @Paolo Casagrande (WMIT)).

- (Later insert:) Friniate and Ruthven, just as information: The template {{Monumento italiano}} was not up to date in German (the language I am speaking) and Macedonian – both lacked the link to the authorisations Friniate referred to. I’ve updated them both: German, Macedonian. If this were present I probably wouldn’t have asked here and in VRT noticeboard. — Speravir – 01:20, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

- @Ruthven Friniate (talk) 12:50, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Friniate It seems that the permission is for WLM only. It's badly written, as I said many times. In any case,
Keep given that:
- the correct link is used for the Files, and not the generic one as currently done
- WLM only photographs are authorised

- Many of these have been discussed and ruled as acceptable already. Not least in the deletion request from 2024 immediately above your request in this file. Also, in the case of the only picture taken by me (File:Campione d'Italia 03.jpg), in the deletion request from 2012 to be found at Commons:Deletion requests/Category:Casinò di Campione. Unless some further information has come to light, or there has been a change of policy, then there is no reason to relist them for deletion. And if some further information has come to light, or there has been a change of policy, then you need to explain that in your listing, which you havn't. I would suggest that this listing be rejected and closed. -- Chris j wood (talk) 17:25, 9 March 2026 (UTC)

Keep We still need examples of the software, flaws and all. Each version of the software will be different. If the same image was used as a prompt a year later, the image will be different.

Delete I hate to be the one to break the assumption of good faith, but RAN's argument here that this image serves to illustrate the flaws of AI image models is pure wikilawyering. The pattern of his contributions indicates the purpose of his uploads, including the AI-"enhanced" images, is to further a personal family genealogy project. Further evidence of this can be found on Wikidata, including plenty more examples of wikilawyering and combative behavior.- This file is an AI-distorted photo of a non-notable subject.

Weak delete The "historical" argument for early AI-generated images is not without merit. We should keep a selection of these that show the changes in capabilities of AI image generation; for example, some examples (not tons) for the issue with mis-generated hands that used to be typical are educationally useful, and some with gibberish text, too. However, I don't think this image of "an aqueduct with a blue tiled channel and clean water" has any particularly interesting characteristics. Gestumblindi (talk) 21:46, 14 April 2026 (UTC)

Comment, according this news article, the creative director for the advertisement indicates "Sora completed 80% to 85% of the work before the agency went in to make slight corrections to the imagery, similar to how postproduction teams tweak colors or remove smudges after standard ad shoots
". So, clearly this advertisement is not 100% AI work, and the "15 to 20 percent" human work might make the video (and this image) to be above COM:TOO US. Thanks.
