File:JLL 052 father.jpg

Since en:John Langeloth Loeb Sr. died in 1996, there's no way this file could've been taken in July 2025 as the uploader seems to be claiming in the file's description; so, I think it's safe to assume that the uploader is most likely not the copyright holder of the photo and the {{cc-by-sa-4.0}} is questionable at best. Though its provenance is unclear, the photo does look like one taken much earlier than 1996 in Loeb's life, perhaps it's even old enough to have entered into the public domain due to a lack of notice or a lack of copyright renewal. I'm not sure, though, that such should be assumed per COM:PCP, unless someone is able to better sort out its provenance. So, lacking any proof that this is public domain, I don't think the file can be kept unless VRT can verify the copyright holder's consent. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:00, 18 February 2026 (UTC)

File:Larisa Kliushkina at Symposium Bali 2025.jpg

there is no permission from the artist to use her painting Lesless (talk) 03:56, 18 February 2026 (UTC)

  • VRTS Ticket:2026022110004609 has been received regarding to file(s) mentioned here. --Krdbot 19:00, 21 February 2026 (UTC)
    This is permission from the photographer, but permission from the artist is needed. Lesless (talk) 01:56, 22 February 2026 (UTC)

  • VRTS I have just accepted permission for “File:Larisa Kliushkina at Symposium Bali 2025.jpg” under ticket:2026022410010731. --Анастасия Львоваru/en 19:31, 23 March 2026 (UTC)
  • So we had a permission from a painter, a permission from a photographer, and this nomination as a whole is very questionnable because the painting has an angle and it's impossible to restote the full image from it. Анастасия Львоваru/en 19:32, 23 March 2026 (UTC)

Possible copyvio / bogus authorship claim, unsuitable per COM:PRP and the procedures outlined in COM:THIRD. The current filename and the lack of EXIF hint at that image having been sent through WhatsApp, which would be unnecessary for a true "own work" but quite likely it the uploaded is not the actual photographer.

I'm somewhat rusty on licensing, but this doesn't look to meet any of the exceptions to the OGL for things published by UK government bodies.
Oldelpaso (talk) 13:01, 20 February 2026 (UTC)
@Oldelpaso, This isn't a "UK government body", its a local council. Some local councils (e.g. manchester) independently have decided to use an OGL licence for all there website content, but that doesn't seem to be the case with trafford. Cakelot1 talk 14:19, 20 February 2026 (UTC)
Delete, the page that states OGL3 talks about datasets, and then gives a list, which seems to suggest only structured datasets given there are OGL3. Absent a clear declaration that all website content is available under OGL3, like Manchester City Council provides , we must assume that it is under full copyright DimensionalFusion (talk) 13:49, 21 February 2026 (UTC)

Dear Miss Mwimba, it was in good faith that I uploaded as part of efforts to bridge the gap on information about African Women making impact across the globe. This is to help identify and archive African women to inspire the next generation for greater exploits.
African knowledge on Wikipedia is very low and even more surprising is the decline in the editing of English Wikipedia and its administrators. You would notice that this is not a paid edit but a conscious effort to make Wikipedia inclusive and accessible to everyone.
Nonetheless, if you want this to be deleted, then I will not contest it. Thank you. Uprising Man (talk) 13:41, 22 February 2026 (UTC)

the concrete textures are from vanilla minecraft ( see https://minecraft.wiki/w/Concrete ) Anonymsiy (talk) 12:09, 18 February 2026 (UTC)

 Keep. The texture in question is a solid color, which is not copyrightable. Omphalographer (talk) 01:29, 19 February 2026 (UTC)
no, it is not. if you look closely in the texture, there are slight color changes which are noticeable even in the image. Anonymsiy (talk) 11:45, 19 February 2026 (UTC)

  •  Comment Are we sure that the block in the image is Concrete? The first full version in which Concrete was added (per Concrete§History) was 1.12 released June 7, 2017; while this image is from 27 April 2017. Granted it was in snapshots as early as February 8, 2017, but it's not normal that a mod like Tinkers would be updated to snapshot versions. Could it not be possible that Tinkers already had a similar looking block predating concrete. Cakelot1 talk 14:00, 8 March 2026 (UTC)
    I'd be fine with reverting my edit. Arlo James Barnes 20:20, 16 March 2026 (UTC)
    According to the mod's version history on Curseforge, the earliest build of the mod for 1.12 was released on July 18, 2017. The screenshot was taken over a month earlier, which leads me to believe that the green block is a part of the mod. Dabmasterars [EN/RU] (talk/uploads) 18:13, 25 March 2026 (UTC)
 Keep and undo the revision. Even if the concrete textures are copyrightable, they're clearly not the focus of the image and are therefore de minimis. Dabmasterars [EN/RU] (talk/uploads) 18:30, 10 March 2026 (UTC)
 Keep per Arlo James Barnes edits and investigation by Cakelot1. I'm neutral on undoing the revision. IntensionalLogican (talk) 05:58, 14 April 2026 (UTC)

File:Syria- two years of tragedy (8642756918).jpg

Photo is not original work of the UK govt as the Flickr description credits "Basma" for the photo – Howardcorn33 (💬) 12:23, 18 February 2026 (UTC)

Lean Keep & Comment "Basma" very likely refers to the BASMA Association, a Tunisian-based nonprofit which has done considerable work in Syria. I say !keep though because this image has a Volunteer Response Team ticket, meaning its been reviewed and verified for re-use via email from the copyright holder (more than most images get). Also, and this might be pedantic, the FCDO template states "content provided by the FCDO" (which this is) is eligible for re-use, not necessarily content made by them. Whatever the outcome of this discussion is, the same ruling should also be applied to File:Syria- two years of tragedy (8557586198).jpg, which was published and VRT-verified the same way.

And to be clear, these files were not VRT confirmed individually. The {{FCDO}} template by itself contains a VRT confirmation which is subsequently applied to all photos it is applied to. Individual verification of the photos is necessary to determine if the FCDO actually produced them or is sourcing them from third party content, which it is in this case. – Howardcorn33 (💬) 11:25, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

File:WGW elftalfoto (1949).jpg

Bogus license. Highly unlikely to be anonymous work. Way too recent for {{PD-old-assumed}}. Jcb (talk) 15:52, 18 February 2026 (UTC)

  • The photo appears twice in different forms on the club's website. In both cases, no author is known, neither mentioned. The only source we have is that the team was active in season 1949/50. That was more than 70 years ago. You can also see on the page that our work on Wikipedia is really appreciated, because they just copy our research (see: a form of appreciation for us). FabioDekker (talk) 17:34, 18 February 2026 (UTC)
    In the Netherlands, copyright lasts 70 years after the death of the author. If we cannot figure out when the author died, but we have no evidence that the author published the picture anonymously, we use 120 years as the safe line. 120 years have not passed since 1949, so this will be a delete. Jcb (talk) 21:47, 18 February 2026 (UTC)


Thank you for your information stating that 120 years (?) is apparently the cut-off point. I am not familiar with that date. However, I base my knowledge upon the following page: Copyright rules by territory/Netherlands. I am therefore basing my position on two points of Article 38 of Chapter III:
  • 1. The copyright in a work of which the author has not been indicated or has not been indicated in such a way that his identity is beyond doubt expires 70 years after 1 January of the year following that in which the work was first lawfully communicated to the public.[1912-2017 Art. 38(1)]
  • 2. This also applies to the works of a public institution, association, foundation or corporation that is regarded as the creator, unless the natural person who created the work is indicated as such on or in copies of the work which are made public.[1912-2017 Art. 38(2)]
The authorship is not indicated, but is used, linked, and published by a public institution, association, foundation or corporation. Perhaps you can provide me with information regarding the 120 years in the Netherlands, but I think this work from 1949 can be used by law on Commons with the {{PD-EU-no author disclosure}} license. Best regards, FabioDekker (talk) 13:03, 20 February 2026 (UTC).
For this to be applicable, you will have to show evidence that the photographer did not disclose their identity back in 1949. Without such evidence, the regular 70 years after the death of the photographer applies. The 120 years we agreed upon at Wikimedia Commons, makes it very unlikely that the photographer was still alive 70 years ago, although not impossible. For this specific situation, where we have no indication at all that this would be anonymous work, which is even highly unlikely given the nature of the picture, but where we don't know who the photographer is, we have {{PD-old-assumed}}. This can be used for pre-1906 pictures, which this one isn't. Jcb (talk) 16:10, 20 February 2026 (UTC)

File talk:Alleged flag of the Rhine Confederation 1806-13.svg

(As explained by bjh21 below, this deletion request is misplaced, but also futile, so please just close it...)

Last time I nominated this for deletion I wrote:

While marked as "Alleged", unlike "Flag of the Confederation of the Rhine.svg" (deleted three times), it is not clear what purpose this file serves. There is AFAIK no evidence the Confederation had a flag, let alone that this might be it. As far as I can make out, therefore, the effect of this file existing is that it is linked by well-meaning people on various languages' Wikipedias in a way that is at best useless (a fictitious flag is presented to the reader, marked as fictitious) and at worst, the normal state of affairs, actively misleading (the flag is presented as if it were real).

This was turned down with a reply to the effect that it is "still heavily in use". That's kind of the point. This flag is entirely fictitious. Where it is in use, it is being presented to readers as if it is bona fide. The use is part of the reason why it is not harmless, and why it should be deleted. Pinkbeast (talk) 08:53, 4 August 2019 (UTC)

@Pinkbeast: You appear to have nominated the file's talk page for deletion. I suspect that's not quite what you intended. As for the file itself, Commons has a policy, COM:INUSE, that files that are used by other Wikimedia projects should be treated as being useful for an educational purpose. The point of this policy is that the question of whether a Wikipedia should use a file is best answered by that Wikipedia and not be a top-down imposition from Commons. It's possible that all of the uses of the file, from af:Napoleontiese Oorloë to zh:各国傀儡政权元首列表, are indeed useless or harmful, but if you're in a position to confirm that then you're probably also in a position to correct those pages so that they don't use the file any more. And once the file is unused, it can be deleted. --bjh21 (talk) 10:43, 4 August 2019 (UTC)

Not permanent, they're donated to the municipality (including any rights) and then left to weathering. Some are already lost. What difference does it make? --Bultro (talk) 22:09, 18 February 2026 (UTC)
The question of "what difference does it make" is equivalent to "do we have to comply with the law even when it's inconvenient". The answer is "yes".
There was a discussion on the Village Pump in 2023 that addressed the question of "works owned by a municipality in Italy"; the detail you provided about 'donated to the municipality' will probably be relevant, but I can't grasp the finer points of the discussion and will leave that to whichever admin closes this DR.
[As for "not permanent",that actually makes things worse, not better. Most jurisdictions that permit freedom of panorama for photos of 3-dimensional works of art specify that they must be permanently located in a public place.] DS (talk) 16:06, 19 February 2026 (UTC)
My question was about being permanent, and for jurisdictions it's "permanent" when it's not meant to be moved. It does not include being destroyed by age (in that sense, nothing is permanent on Earth) --Bultro (talk) 18:29, 19 February 2026 (UTC)
