The result of the discussion was: keep, NASA image. Angus McLellan (Talk) 19:37, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

File:Shuttle Landing Simulator.jpg (delete | talk | history | logs) – uploaded by Djmckee1 (notify | contribs | uploads).

• Copyright is in doubt, considering it's NASA, and someone else may have a better chance at finding the copyright status than I did. But if it is, and probably best to assume so, it is not used anywhere under any of the criteria. :| TelCoNaSpVe :| 11:41, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What do "Copyright is in doubt" and "considering it's NASA" mean?

The image is uploaded with a source URl from a nasa.gov site, and it's tagged for licensing with {{PD-USGov-NASA}}. That meets our needs. There is no reasonable doubt as to the veracity of either of these. There is no reason for the nom to have tagged it for deletion.

I also note that once again this editor(s) is sweeping the entire contribution history of an inactive editor and looking for articles and files to delete, on the shakiest of grounds. Whilst entirely within policy, this is hardly an action that looks innocent, or can be expected to encourage collaborative editing. Andy Dingley (talk) 14:03, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What is it with you and my FFDs? Rather than delving into spurious WP:ADHOM attacks and whining about how I'm singling out one editor, why not just fix the image? Note that I have sent multiple files to FFD, including this in the past, without opposition until you came along. This is just another foil of WP:NOHARM that you are promoting. :| TelCoNaSpVe :| 15:02, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Do you actually have a reason as to why a NASA-tagged image is unacceptable for copyright?

My problem with your FFDs is simple: you tag things as "unencyclopedic" and "in doubt" on very poor grounds that just don't stand up to scrutiny (and read your / your sockmaster's talk page for a stream of other editors telling you the same thing). You probably tag others that do warrant deletion too, but "being right on average" isn't acceptable. Andy Dingley (talk) 15:10, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Did you actually take a look at my rationale on the other link? "No longer of any encyclopedic use as far as I can tell." would fall under "unencyclopedic" and not on "very poor grounds" and yet it was deleted anyway. It is clearly a valid reason for deletion. Note that the first few rationales for Wikipedia:Files for deletion/2010 October 11 cite "unencyclopedic" as a deletion request. :| TelCoNaSpVe :| 15:18, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

So we should delete this image, because you were once right about another image? Andy Dingley (talk) 16:10, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

We do not normally base !votes on WP:NOMISASOCKAND/ORBIASEDPERSON actually. But there is something to be said about a file being uploaded by the same person, or more than once. :| TelCoNaSpVe :| 08:48, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep NASA is almost always public domain. The occasional image they display with other copyright status , has that status indicated by them. No explanation given for why it is considered "dubious." DGG ( talk ) 21:07, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

File:PJV-Dome-Mine-Super-Pit.jpg (delete | talk | history | logs) – uploaded by Monogram (notify | contribs | uploads).

• It is not used anywhere, and briefly mentions a confusing "Porcupine Joint Venture "Dome" operation." :| TelCoNaSpVe :| 12:39, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's under a free licence, so not currently being used is no reason to delete. It is certainly within encyclopedic scope and could be useful to an article on this mine, or mining in general.

As to it being "confusing", then WP:IDONTUNDERSTANDIT is not a policy. WP:BEFORE is though, and a moment's research would show you a great many references to this mine, there's even an article at en:Dome Mine. Andy Dingley (talk) 14:10, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. The uploader has edited Dome Mine right after uploading the image, but didn't add his image to the article for some reason. IMHO the image should be moved to Commons, where it can be categorized in Commons:Category:Timmins, Ontario and Commons:Category:Mines in Ontario. --Leyo 16:06, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Nothing wrong with this image per sé, but it's a very small image and very grainy. I suspect that it was uploaded to illustrate Hillbilly Jim, but as a much better image is present on that article now, this one is superfluous.
