• Keep, based on the Deletion request on Commons I've changed the licensing to Non-free biog-pic and added a fair use. Salavat (talk) 06:20, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

File:Pied piper poster.jpg (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by Belrien12 (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log). 

Tagged with {{PD-because}} with the reason "the film was made in 1933." However, corporate works are copyrighted for 95 years. This poster may be in public domain for other reasons, but this requires evidence. Ixfd64 (talk) 01:55, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think that poster would stay because Disney's pied piper short is old and is now in public domain and I have almost forgotten that I uploaded this poster into its Wikipedia page until now. So I think this poster would stay. Belrien12 (talk) 07:39, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Except as far as my research goes, The Pied Piper is still under copyright until 2029. The poster may be public domain though since I don't see a copyright notice on it (difficult to tell if IMDb has all of the poster though.) Abzeronow (talk) 02:57, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Relicense as fair use. Abzeronow's explanation is correct. The film has a valid copyright notice on it, and it's likely under copyright until 2029, unless Disney neglected to renew the copyright (which is unlikely). This image may be public domain, but we'd need more information about the poster to evaluate its status. hinnk (talk) 12:17, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

File:Group Portrait of the staff of the Auckland Public Library with John Barr in the centre C1930.jpg (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by Izzy lib (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log). 

Certainly not required to illustrate the article Epsom Library. The image might be public domain but I can't find the original record from Auckland Libraries to confirm that.

There is a free image of John Barr on Commons so fails NFCC#1 as well. File:1937_New_Zealand_Library_Association_Conference_in_Wellington.jpg Traumnovelle (talk) 08:01, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

File:Kingsley's Chicken Logo.jpg (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by Dfadden (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log). 

Uploaded for Kingsley's Chicken. No other use. Can be restored if said article is moved to mainspace. --Min☠︎rax^«¦talk¦» 11:53, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Minorax. Thanks for bringing this here. Back in April, I requested the deleted article be restored/userfied by User:MBisanz who closed out the deletion discussion in 2016. I believe that there has now been broader coverage and the rational for deletion would not still apply. Unfortunately, this user is inactive so nothing has yet come of it. I will now pursue with an admin or other appropriate user in order to get an answer on this as soon as possible. I appreciate that it can be restored later if the article is moved, but if there is a prospect that the article may be restored, it would seem premature to do so, especially as it is tagged as public domain and therefore free use.

File:Loch 4.jpg (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by Nup~enwiki (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log). 

Low-quality image replaceable with numerous higher-quality images at c:Category:Jovibarba globifera. This one also has questionable licensing – it is attributed to "Manuel Werner, Nürtingen, Germany", but there is no evidence that this is the uploader.

In particular, the use at Hen and chicken plant can be replaced with File:Jovibarba globifera x 01.JPG. The use at Hen and chicks can be replaced with File:Hens and Chicks growing amid other succulents.jpg (which is already on the page in the gallery section). The use at Jovibarba can be replaced with File:Hen & Chicks (succulent plant).jpg. Best, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 16:11, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, maybe transfer to Commons. The uploader's name is Manuel and they are from Germany, at least according to their introduction. Seems reasonable to assume they were trying to upload it as {{Self}}. hinnk (talk) 12:26, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  I missed that; thank you, hinnk! I do not think this is eligible for Commons because it is one of the final 3 images tagged as {{assumed license}} (which is what brought this file to my attention). c:COM:GOF might apply, though it was not uploaded to Commons before the cutoff date?

  I still think we should delete this image because there are higher-resolution images – without questionable licensing – available to replace it. Best, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 20:23, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Looking at the pages that use c:Template:Assumed license, it seems like eligible images have been transferred over within the past few years (e.g. File:La Barca Condado.jpg) which makes me think we'd be good to do the same with this one.

  I agree that there are probably better images that could be used. My suggestion to keep (at Commons) is mostly because the image still falls within scope and it'd preserve the file history for anyone who's reused it in the 20 years since it was uploaded. hinnk (talk) 04:13, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Happy to move to Commons and make the replacements locally. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 17:32, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Missing license information, plain and simple. File was uploaded with no license and a bogus license was added by someone else. -Fastily 07:09, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

File:WRP 2001 Chisholm-Smoke.jpg (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by Wildfireupdateman (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log). 

Tagged with {{PD-because}} with the reason "it is in the Alberta government public wildfire research website." However, works by the Canadian government are not automatically in public domain. The source website's copyright terms indicate what is equivalent to a CC BY-NC-ND license. Image is not used in article space. Ixfd64 (talk) 17:25, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

File:Dragon Age Dreadwolf Logo 2022.jpeg (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by Sariel Xilo (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log). 

Fails WP:NFCC#1 and #8. This is the former logo displaying the title of a video game whose title was later changed to Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Because the image displays only the game's former title, its meaning can readily be conveyed by text, and the image does not aid the understanding of the topic. The logo, as such, is not discussed in the game's article. Sandstein 18:58, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dubious claim of own work - appears to be AI generated from something like the original file at ml:File:Sayed Ummer Bafakhy.jpg — JJMC89 (T·C) 23:43, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: There was some recent discussion about this type of image at WT:IUP#AI-generated images of people and the rough (unofficial) consensus seems to be that they shouldn't be allowed not only because of potential copyright violations but also for encyclopedic reasons. If the other Malayalam Wikipedia file mentioned above by JJMC89 is really the same person and its provenance is sound, then perhaps it could be uploaded locally to Wikipedia as non-free (if still protected by copyright) or to Commons (if within the public domain or otherwise freely licensed). -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:37, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
