On this page, users can ask for a deleted page or file (hereafter, "file") to be restored. Users can comment on requests by leaving remarks such as keep deleted or undelete along with their reasoning.

This page is not part of Wikipedia. This page is about the content of Wikimedia Commons, a repository of free media files used by Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects. Wikimedia Commons does not host encyclopedia articles. To request undeletion of an article or other content which was deleted from the English Wikipedia edition, see the deletion review page on that project.

Commons deletion (policy)
v • d • e

Finding out why a file was deleted

First, check the deletion log and find out why the file was deleted. Also use the What links here feature to see if there are any discussions linking to the deleted file. If you uploaded the file, see if there are any messages on your user talk page explaining the deletion. Secondly, please read the deletion policy, the project scope policy, and the licensing policy again to find out why the file might not be allowed on Commons.

If the reason given is not clear or you dispute it, you can contact the deleting administrator to ask them to explain or give them new evidence against the reason for deletion. You can also contact any other active administrator (perhaps one that speaks your native language)—most should be happy to help, and if a mistake had been made, rectify the situation.

Appealing a deletion

Deletions which are correct based on the current deletion, project scope and licensing policies will not be undone. Proposals to change the policies may be done on their talk pages.

If you believe the file in question was neither a copyright violation nor outside the current project scope:

  • You may want to discuss with the administrator who deleted the file. You can ask the administrator for a detailed explanation or show evidence to support undeletion.
  • If you do not wish to contact anyone directly, or if an individual administrator has declined undeletion, or if you want an opportunity for more people to participate in the discussion, you can request undeletion on this page.
  • If the file was deleted for missing evidence of licensing permission from the copyright holder, please follow the procedure for submitting permission evidence. If you have already done that, there is no need to request undeletion here. If the submitted permission is in order, the file will be restored when the permission is processed. Please be patient, as this may take several weeks depending on the current workload and available volunteers.
  • If some information is missing in the deleted image description, you may be asked some questions. It is generally expected that such questions are responded in the following 24 hours.

Temporary undeletion

Files may be temporarily undeleted either to assist an undeletion discussion of that file or to allow transfer to a project that permits fair use. Use the template {{Request temporary undeletion}} in the relevant undeletion request, and provide an explanation.

  1. if the temporary undeletion is to assist discussion, explain why it would be useful for the discussion to undelete the file temporarily, or
  2. if the temporary undeletion is to allow transfer to a fair use project, state which project you intend to transfer the file to and link to the project's fair use statement.

To assist discussion

Files may be temporarily undeleted to assist discussion if it is difficult for users to decide on whether an undeletion request should be granted without having access to the file. Where a description of the file or quotation from the file description page is sufficient, an administrator may provide this instead of granting the temporary undeletion request. Requests may be rejected if it is felt that the usefulness to the discussion is outweighed by other factors (such as restoring, even temporarily, files where there are substantial concerns relating to Commons:Photographs of identifiable people). Files temporarily undeleted to assist discussion will be deleted again after thirty days, or when the undeletion request is closed (whichever is sooner).

To allow transfer of fair use content to another project

Unlike English Wikipedia and a few other Wikimedia projects, Commons does not accept non-free content with reference to fair use provisions. If a deleted file meets the fair use requirements of another Wikimedia project, users can request temporary undeletion in order to transfer the file there. These requests can usually be handled speedily (without discussion). Files temporarily undeleted for transfer purposes will be deleted again after two days. When requesting temporary undeletion, please state which project you intend to transfer the file to and link to the project's fair use statement.

Adding a request

First, ensure that you have attempted to find out why the file was deleted. Next, please read these instructions for how to write the request before proceeding to add it:

  • Do not request undeletion of a file that has not been deleted.
  • Do not post e-mail or telephone numbers to yourself or others.
  • In the Subject: field, enter an appropriate subject. If you are requesting undeletion of a single file, a heading like [[:File:DeletedFile.jpg]] is advisable. (Remember the initial colon in the link.)
  • Identify the file(s) for which you are requesting undeletion and provide image links (see above). If you don't know the exact name, give as much information as you can. Requests that fail to provide information about what is to be undeleted may be archived without further notice.
  • State the reason(s) for the requested undeletion.
  • Sign your request using four tilde characters (~~~~). If you have an account at Commons, log in first. If you were the one to upload the file in question, this can help administrators to identify it.

Add the request to the bottom of the page. Click here to open the page where you should add your request. Alternatively, you can click the "edit" link next to the current date below. Watch your request's section for updates.

Closing discussions

In general, discussions should be closed only by administrators.

However, according to the email response by the Taiwan Intellectual Property Office "故政府機關之部徽、署徽或局徽，如其形式係依法所制訂者，依著作權法第9條，不得為著作權之標的。" (English Machine Translation: "Therefore, the emblems of ministries, departments or bureaus of government agencies, if their forms are made in accordance with the law, shall not be the subject of copyright in accordance with Article 9 of the Copyright Law." ) Since this logo is the Seal of Ministry of National Defense, in my opinion, it is not copyrighted and is covered under {{PD-ROC-exempt}} .

File:Carlos-Meyer-Baldo.jpg

The image was taken during Baldó's military service during World War I, between 1914 and 1918, and Carlos Meyer Baldó died in 1933. The image's age means that it already is in the public domain per {{PD-old}}, and in the worst case scenario media enters in Venezuela's public domain after 60 years of its publication ({{PD-Venezuela}}). --NoonIcarus (talk) 00:10, 29 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@NoonIcarus: Who is the photographer and has she or he been dead for 70 years? Thuresson (talk) 10:28, 29 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
 Comment If the above questions remain unresponded, {{PD-old-assumed}} can be applied in 2039. Ankry (talk) 15:39, 29 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
The picture was first published in 1918, along with other pictures ([1]), during Baldó's service as an instructor (Fluglehrer) at the Fighter Squadron School Nr. II to train Jasta pilots. The copyright law in Venezuela does not consider the author's death for media such as photographs (unlike music, for instance), but rather its publication date. At any rate, {{PD-US-expired}} also applies given that the picture was published before 1928. Best wishes. --NoonIcarus (talk) 20:32, 30 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
The deleted file appears to have a modern colorization, which could have its own copyright. Abzeronow (talk) 20:39, 30 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Abzeronow: Ah, I wasn't aware of that. Was it already in its original version or was it added by an user? In the case of the former, I can withdraw my request and ask for undeletion to be applied in the respective years (like 2039). --NoonIcarus (talk) 01:32, 31 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

 Oppose The template "PD-Old" can not be used without knowing who the photographer is and when she or he died. "PD-Venezuela" can not be used without providing the authorship and publication details. If the photo was first published on Twitter, it may be undeleted in 2081. Thuresson (talk) 04:17, 31 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
The image was not first published in Twitter (Twitter's version is black and white while the deleted one is colorized, for instance). It was simply provided for context about the other images it was first published with. --NoonIcarus (talk) 11:48, 31 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Ankry:Buenas según Wikipedia (https://es.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos_Meyer_Bald%C3%B3) el murió en 1933, por eso es que según Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Venezuela son 60 años después de la publicación (osea después de la muerte del autor) por eso está OK.

@AbchyZa22: But where is an evidence that the photo was published (available to the general public) during his life? Photo creation date is irrelevant for copyright (except US 120 year cut-off time). Ankry (talk) 11:36, 15 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@AbchyZa22: This page is dated 17 October 2019. This is not 60 years ago. Also the photo #5 is not the photo we are discussing here (the photo requested here is a colour portrait photo - or maybe a painting? - this one; claimed to be made personally by the uploader). Ankry (talk) 18:05, 15 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
We usually assume that old pictures were published at the time they were taken, but this is not photo #5 mentioned above. But that picture is available at File:Bóxer Babeante.jpg. Yann (talk) 11:26, 20 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

File:Flag of Caracas (2022).svg

Buenas, necesito que algún administrador restaure la imagen por que la Bandera del Municipio Libertador de Caracas, Venezuela es una invención por eso está en el Dominio Público según el Articulo 325 de la Ley Orgánica del Trabajo, Trabajadores y Trabajadoras en Venezuela. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AbchyZa22 (talk • contribs) 23:16, 1 January 2024‎ (UTC)Reply[reply]

Per Commons:Coats of arms, each rendering can have its own copyright. Was this a user-drawn version or copied from a copyrighted source? Carl Lindberg (talk) 06:07, 2 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Clindberg:Buenas, pero en el artículo 325 dice:Invenciones, innovaciones y mejoras en el sector público
La producción intelectual generada bajo relación de trabajo en el sector público, o financiada a través de fondos públicos que origine derechos de propiedad intelectual, se considerará del dominio público, manteniéndose los derechos al reconocimiento público del autor o autora.
El {{PD-VenezuelaGov}} aplica directamente a los Logos, Banderas y escudos de Armas por que son invencionales (significa se basa en la imaginación de los autores osea personas.) AbchyZa22 (talk) 08:42, 2 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
As mentioned in the other discussions you started last week about art. 325 at HD and VP/C, that argument is not necessarily convincing without authoritative interpretation by courts or doctrine and without evidence that these artworks by independent artists meet the factual conditions. Even if hypothetically it applied, that would be for the Venezuelan copyright, not for the United States copyright. However, the concept of the flag designed in 2022 by María Jiménez and Víctor Rodríguez might be (or not) too simple for copyright, but even then, each particular artistic rendering of it can be copyrighted. -- Asclepias (talk) 17:04, 2 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

If it's truly a vector version drawn by a contributor, I'd lean towards keeping it. If it was extracted from a PDF of a government source (or is an SVG wrapper around a bitmap taken from another unlicensed source), then I'd go the other way. I would treat each drawing as its own copyright (even the choice of vector points in an SVG can in theory have a copyright, if complex enough, beyond the rendered image). Carl Lindberg (talk) 01:52, 3 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Clindberg:Buenas, con respecto a la Bandera, aquí esta las fuentes:https://eldiario.com/2023/10/12/nuevos-simbolos-de-caracas-concejo-municipal/amp/ AbchyZa22 (talk) 10:23, 3 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Clindberg: Given that any drawing must be derived from the original 2022 design by Jiménez and Rodríguez, do you evaluate that their work is below or above the threshold for copyrightability? The composition with the triangles of colour, the star and the mountain is not as simple as bands of colour, but it's not very complex either. -- Asclepias (talk) 19:48, 4 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Often the design is an idea, with each drawing a particular expression of that idea. That is more straightforward with seals with a written blazon -- a drawing cannot be derivative of the written description. But in general we seem to allow self-drawn images of flags too. Furthermore, as far as the design is part of law, that part would be {{PD-EdictGov}}. Any additions done by a private party (even particular vector points) may qualify for copyright though, so we often look at the history of the specific drawing. If it's the flag as seen here, the only part which may be copyrightable is the very specific outline of the mountain or hill or treetops or whatever that is, which likely differs a little between versions and so they may well not be derivative of each other. If that image was self-drawn without slavishly copying the outline, I would restore it. A lot of this gets into highly theoretical territory, as it would probably be near impossible for a country or city to sue over copyright infringement of a flag, where the scope of fair use and PD-edict is probably pretty wide. I think as such, we would respect any copyright of a privately-drawn version, but if self-drawn it's probably fine. (Individual government drawings may not be OK though; we tend to not copy those from websites.) Carl Lindberg (talk) 00:15, 5 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Asclepias:Buenas ,por favor lee el Artículo 2 del Derechos de Autor en Venezuela,en que está sometidos los derechos del Autor?? AbchyZa22 (talk) 15:30, 6 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@AbchyZa22: Hi, What about it? If it's still about its scope, I already commented in your thread last month at Commons:Help desk/Archive/2023/12#Commons:Deletion requests/File:Coat of arms of Caracas (2022).png. -- Asclepias (talk) 15:59, 6 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Asclepias:Buenas, una pregunta que pasaría si el Artículo 325 de la Ley Orgánica del Trabajo los Trabajadores y Trabajadoras en Venezuela es Constitucional, es posible restaurar la foto de la Bandera?? AbchyZa22 (talk) 23:24, 6 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@AbchyZa22: A) Constitutionality is only one of several questions to which we do not have answers for now. Other questions, already mentioned above, are B) can the intended goal and scope of 325 include this type of artistic works and, if so, C) does the particular work meet its conditions of application? (Did the two authors get any money and, even then, would their flag proposal be considered "financiada" solely for winning the first prize in the contest?) Again, all that sounds like specialized matters of Venezuelan law. Getting reliable answers require research in court decisions and doctrinal texts or the help of jurists in Venezuelan law. However, and fortunately, we probably do not need to consider that at all here. From the above discussions, if the original flag is considered to be below the "Umbral de originalidad" ("threshold of originality"), both in Venezuela and in the United States, and if the subsequent svg drawing is considered to be the own work of the uploader, then this file with the flag could be undeleted under that rationale only. (It is different for the other file with the coat of arms, wich is above the threshold of originality and directly reproduced.) -- Asclepias (talk) 01:24, 7 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Elcobbola:Hi, please can you close the UDR (Undeletion Request),the flag its a invention in 325 Article in Venezuela law (its a Public Domain) and the SVG its a valid? (Google translator) AbchyZa22 (talk) 13:24, 18 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Asclepias:Ok en el Artículo 33 dice:”No podrán adoptarse ni registrarse como marcas:
En el numeral 2 dice “la Bandera, Escudo de Armas u otra insignia de la República, de los Estados o de las Municipalidades y, en general, de cualquier entidad venezolana de carácter público” (fuentes:https://sapi.gob.ve/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/ley_propiedad_intelectual.pdf) AbchyZa22 (talk) 18:34, 28 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@AbchyZa22: That is about marcas comerciales (trademarks). It is not about derechos de autor (copyright). No marcas does not mean that there are no derechos de autor. Commons is not much concerned with marcas. Commons is concerned with derechos de autor. -- Asclepias (talk) 13:20, 29 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
This request having been open for some time, can there be some consensus to accept it along the lines suggested by Clindberg, assuming that the original flag is considered to be below the threshold of originality, both in Venezuela and in the United States, and assuming that the subsequent svg drawing is the own work of the uploader? That does not seem to require taking a position on other points of Venezuelan law raised in the request. -- Asclepias (talk) 18:52, 28 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Chilean TOO files

Hello there. I want to ask for the undeletion of some images from Chile that have been deleted as a result of the misleading effect a now-removed phrase included on the COM:TOO Chile had. Per my reasoning at Commons:Deletion requests/File:AbcdinLogo.svg, these files are not copyrighted in Chile as they are way too simple, and the former claim that the "Estamos bien los 33" was copyrighted was not correct, there was a "presumed copyright" which has since been disputed in court.

Some of the files include:

  • File:Primera dama logo.png
  • File:MegaDementeLogo.jpg
  • File:Estación Vivaceta.png
  • File:Mega.png
  • File:Logotipo de Teletrece (1994-1995).png
  • File:Logotipo de Teletrece (1970-1972).png

--Bedivere (talk) 19:59, 2 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Was your statement in that DR a ruling by the court, or just an argument by one of the parties? Not sure we can take an argument by one party in a court case as evidence that they will win on that argument. That all said, if the authority that registered the phrase earlier did not have any obligation to determine if it was above the threshold of originality in the first place, then not sure the registration can be taken as evidence for their being a copyright (unlike the U.S., where a copyright registration comes with that determination, so if published as a registered work there, it's likely above the threshold). Carl Lindberg (talk) 21:53, 2 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
That's correct. The registration authority just complies with registration requests without actually pronunciating or determining the registered work is or not copyrightable, that's what I've called presumed copyright. The court case is still ongoing (has been for several years for causes unrelated to the actual Leitmotiv). Sernageomin's position (to my knowledge of Chilean law, and as a graduate) is entirely correct, but it just helps (within the DR comment) to illustrate why giving the "Estamos bien..." registration as the cause for deletion of files such as those I've mentioned is not prudential, as the registration does not imply a copyright was actually generated, and including it in the TOO Chile page was not helping. You've understood the whole point though Carl. Just a close look at the pertinent law clears up the whole picture Bedivere (talk) 07:11, 4 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

File:Jean Tatlock.png

Please temporarily undelete, the image was deleted without comment because it appeared to be part of a second deletion request at Commons:Deletion_requests/File:Portrait_of_Jean_Tatlock_in_her_20s.jpg. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk • contribs) 00:46, 13.

File:Hey American! Join the winning side and be paid! You don't have to fight! This Girl & $10,000 Cash - North Vietnam 01.jpg

Reason given for deletion: "this file was uploaded to be undeleted in the future. As the author (photographer) of this Communist Vietnamese government work isn't provided I assume that it's 1980 + 100 = 2080, this around 110~120 years after its initial publication and would likely be in the public domain then".

However, this is an anonymous work. From what I can tell, with Vietnam's accordance to the TRIPS agreement, they have adopted without alteration, the Berne convention's 50 year term on anonymous works. As this work was definitely made before the end of U.S. involvement in Vietnam, it cannot have been published after 1975, and thereby it would enter the public domain, at latest, in 2025.

A further discussion on the copyright of Vietnamese propaganda can be found at the following link (although as this is discussing commercial exploitation of propaganda posters, no mention is made of some exemptions that Wikipedia may also fall under): here ATOMICMOLOCH (talk) 06:09, 13 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Per Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Vietnam, Vietnam has a 75 year term (after first publication) for both photographs and anonymous works. That would mean 1975 + 75 + 1 = 2051. Also still protected on the URAA restoration date, which is 23 December 1998 for Vietnam. Per Commons:Hirtle chart therefore protected in the US for 95 (+ 1) years from publication = 2071. --Rosenzweig τ 08:50, 13 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • The Hirtle Chart and {{PD-1996}} both state that for foreign publication to be eligible for a US copyright from 1929 through 1977 you still had to be in compliance with US copyright formalities, which would include a copyright symbol and US copyright registration. --RAN (talk) 16:55, 13 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
You're wrong. Restoration by the URAA did not require anything like a registration, notice or copyright symbol. COM:URAA: “7 USC 104A effectively restored the copyrights on foreign works that previously were not copyrighted in the U.S. due to a failure to meet the U.S. formalities (such as not having a copyright notice, or not having been registered with the U.S. Copyright Office, or not having had its copyright renewed) or due to a lack of international treaties between the U.S. and the country of origin of the work.”--Rosenzweig τ 19:10, 13 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
URAA is the reason why Hitchcock films from the U.K. had their U.S. copyrights restored, and as I mention below, Metropolis, which we cannot host here until 2047 due to German copyright, but it is once again public domain in the US. Abzeronow (talk) 19:33, 13 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
As mentioned above, that is not correct. The URAA applied regardless of formalities, provided the work was protected in the source country on the URAA date. What those references mean, is that if a work did conform to U.S. formalities, then it's still protected in the U.S. for the full term regardless if it had expired in the source country before the URAA date. It never expired, so it never needed to be restored in that situation. That is rare for anything outside of books or music, but it's possible.

File:Lunar Glitch VHS 01.png

I received a wiki notification requesting removal of my file

📌 in May 2022 he deleted all the metadata (data from categories like: astronomy,… etc as you will see in the video) to classify as: screenshot (that suits me, but deleting the other categories is an abuse) but that's not all: the image is part of a wiki sciences competition so was uploaded seen registered and approved years ago and also: used by two pages; just for that plus according to the charter, the deletion should not even have been considered.


Info: 📌 This media file has been nominated for deletion since 9 February 2024.

Reason for the nomination: Appears to be a screenshot from a camera, not uploader's work

🙄

If this is a screenshot? I didn't know that a VHS video could be entered on Wikicommons!


It turns out that all these interactions have no real meaning; everything points us towards harassment since he takes months and has interactions on my work when I don't know it and several months later, he wants to destroy the work, again:

File:Giuseppe Barone al lavoro.jpg

Nominated because new editor uploaded it as own work. The attribution was fixed, but the image was still deleted because of PCP. Italy is a 20 year copyright jurisdiction but the deleter believes it may be less than 20 years old, so PCP applies. Deleted because dating and image is "just assumptions; we need proof". Before exif data, all images are estimates based on contextual clues and the birth and death dates of the subject. There is rarely proof, unless they are holding a daily newspaper or aboard the sinking Titanic. --RAN (talk) 15:50, 17 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

A posed, portrait photograph may not count as a "simple" snapshot-type photo in Italy but rather be 70pma. I can't see it, so not sure, but I think usually, studio portrait photos were not considered "simple" but rather a photographic version of a painting, and thus a "work". Carl Lindberg (talk) 16:00, 17 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
That photo is obviously a work, but it doesn't have to get to that level. It's definitely not commercial vs amateur -- amateurs can create "works" and professional photos can still be simple. One judge said: Creativity is characterised by the originality of the image detail, the image composition, the photographer’s ability to create a particular effect that goes beyond the reality depicted. These features characterise the personal style of the author.[3] If you can recognize a particular style by the photographer, it's probably a "work" -- the distinction is more in how much creativity can the author adds, and does it bear the personal stamp of the author (the EU directive's term is the author's own intellectual creation). When a photographer has full control over the photo, that situation gets a lot more possible. Obviously, there will many that are arguable either way; this is probably one of them. Carl Lindberg (talk) 18:22, 17 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Actually, I can't see the image here, and don't think I found this one while searching, so I can't have an opinion on this image in particular unless there is a link somewhere. But, the general discussion above holds -- all photos are not automatically 20pd in Italy. But it could be old enough to not matter, as mentioned below. Carl Lindberg (talk) 02:43, 18 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
 Comment The picture quality is low, but Giuseppe Barone is less than 40 years old here, so this is from around 1925 or before. So, as the author is unknown, it is most probably in the public domain, i.e. 70 years after creation. Also in the public domain in USA, as from before 1929.

File:Danielyan Mushegh Archive1.jpg File:Danielyan Mushegh Archive2.jpg File:Danielyan Mushegh Archive3.jpg File:Danielyan Mushegh Archive4.jpg File:Danielyan Mushegh.jpg

5 files were deleted from me, indicating that there was no source. One of the deleted photos is a photograph of my grandfather from a family album, taken in the 1930s by an unknown author(File:Danielyan Mushegh.jpg). 4 other photos are archival certificates issued by organizations of the Armenian SSR (the Armenian SSR no longer exists)(File:Danielyan Mushegh Archive1.jpg, File:Danielyan Mushegh Archive2.jpg, File:Danielyan Mushegh Archive3.jpg, File:Danielyan Mushegh Archive4.jpg). I kindly ask you to help me recover these files. Thanks Samveltunyan (talk) 13:33, 20 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

 Oppose The last item is, as the request says, a photograph taken by an unknown author in the 1930s. Armenian copyright for anonymous works runs for 70 years from publication, so the earliest that the Armenian copyright could have expired would be sometime in the 2000s and it is still under copyright there if its appearance here is the first publication. However, the Armenian URAA date is 10 October 2000, so unless it can be proven that it was taken before 10 October 1930, it has a US copyright.

The other four images are copies of documents. I can't read them, but at a minimum the same rules apply as for the photographs. If the authors are identifiable, then they have or had Armenian copyrights lasting 70 years after the death of the author. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 14:26, 20 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

And what should I do? How can I prove that the photo was taken at that time? This is a photo of my grandfather and I don't have the right to publish it? Samveltunyan (talk) 14:50, 20 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Unless you can prove beyond a significant doubt that the photo was published before October 10, 1930, it cannot be kept here. If, as you say, it was in a family album until it appeared here, then it has an Armenian copyright until 1/1/2094. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 14:58, 20 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • The photograph must be uploaded to the local wiki as a fair use. However, the documents can be restored according to {{PD-Armenia}}: we can consider these documents published in a sense in the moment of being issued, i.e. more than 70 years ago. The uploader's mistake was marking these documents as an own work. Andrei Romanenko (talk) 18:06, 20 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
That's probably not correct. Unless the documents were published before October 10, 1930, they have a US copyright which will last until 95 years after first publication. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 19:44, 20 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
As we know, A mere allegation that the URAA applies to a file cannot be the sole reason for deletion. As long as Works not copyrightable in the United States are not affected by URAA restoration, it might depend on what governmental body issued these documents and other conditions of this kind. Andrei Romanenko (talk) 10:37, 21 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Your use of the quoted statement is long obsolete. We routinely delete any work that was under copyright in the country of origin on that country's URAA date. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 14:25, 21 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
1) You only address my first quotation and not the second one. If this kind of documents would not be copyrighted in the USA, it does not matter if they were copyrighted in Armenia on the URAA date. 2) I don't get the idea that the help page says this and everybody routinely does the contrary. That is not how the Project works: if the users, and the more so administrators, routinely do something that is at odds with the page instructing users about the problem, it is mandatory to edit the page and not to mislead other people. Andrei Romanenko (talk) 18:38, 21 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
It depends on how you interpret "A mere allegation". If someone says, casually, that the work might be affected by URAA, then the work will not be deleted for that reason. However, when it is proven that the work's dates put it under the URAA, then it cannot be kept on Commons. That is the case here. As for your second point, I can't read the documents in question, but I see no reason why they would not have a US copyright. If you can show that the nature of the documents is such that they would not have a copyright in Armenia, then they don't fall under the URAA and should be restored. .     Jim . . .

Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Khoshnevis Mansion

@Krd: I'm repeating my request here, to you or someone else. Once again, seven deleted files show a historical building, almost 200 years old. That's pretty clear from it's infobox (Khoshnevis Mansion) which states it's style is the Qajar architecture, further linking to parent categories which shows it's the 1789–1925 period. Also, I used four references for the style in Wikidata (which I always do for historical monuments). A lot of time of searching, reading and referencing, all for nothing, because the careless editor A1Cafel nominated all for deletion, without a basic check. Really frustrating. --Orijentolog (talk) 09:54, 22 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

 Oppose The WP:FA article tells us only that, as you say, the building dates to the Qajar period, which ended in 1925. While the building may well be 200 years old, we have no evidence of that. A 1925 building is far too recent to assume that it is out of copyright. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 15:50, 22 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Jameslwoodward: there is nothing, I'll repeat, absolutely NOTHING of Qajar architecture which is copyrighted. I personally passed over 1000 locations and there was never a copyright issue. Even virtually all Pahlavi architecture (1925–1979) sites are today free (30 years passed since public presentation). Please elaborate your claim that "a 1925 building is far too recent to assume that it is out of copyright". It makes zero sense. --Orijentolog (talk) 16:34, 22 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
 Comment Iran has a very short copyright duration, so anything from 1925 or before is certainly in the public domain. Yann (talk) 17:00, 22 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Consulting COM:Iran says copyright for architectural works are expired if the author died more than 50 years ago (1973) or if they had died before 22 August 1980, for works that their copyright expired before 22 August 2010 according to the 1970 law. 1925 is too young for even a 100 year assumption (1923 would be the last year as far as that goes), and an author who created something in 1925 could have lived beyond 1980. I agree with Jim here.  Oppose Abzeronow (talk) 17:51, 22 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Abzeronow: did you read the rest of the COM:Iran? "In cases where the work belongs to a legal personality or rights are transferred to a legal personality, it will go into the public domain after 30 years from the date of publication or public presentation"? This is really getting more and more bizarre. --Orijentolog (talk) 18:29, 22 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
For the record, the page mentions "financial rights" while the template PD-Iran has the wording you quote. When one tries to remember the copyright laws for 200+ countries, occasionally one forgets the finer details, we are only human after all. Usually this is where we'd try to ascertain whether the building in question belongs or rights were transferred to a legal personality. Abzeronow (talk) 19:05, 22 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
IMO this is greatly exaggerated. We have accepted many pictures of works from the time of the Shah regime, as sufficiently old. The 50 years pma duration supposes that the architect is known. For pre-1925 works, it is very unlikely. Even with 50 years pma, they works are most probably in the public domain. Architects of pre-1925 works most probably died more than 50 years ago.
