File:I Will Survive 1993.jpg ( delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by Wherelovelives ( notify | contribs | uploads | upload log). 

This image is of the 1993 re-release of " I Will Survive". It fails to comply both WP:NFCC#3a and WP:NFCC#8; one of other front covers and sleeves of original release should be sufficient enough for readers' understanding of the song. George Ho ( talk) 20:45, 7 November 2018 (UTC) reply

The record cover consists only of letters. It may not meet the threshold of originality to qualify for copyright protection. See Template:PD-simple. —  MShabazz  Talk/ Stalk 13:32, 8 November 2018 (UTC) reply
Look closer, Malik. The background has possibly copyrightable symbols and design pattern(s), seen in the 1993 re-releases. George Ho ( talk) 19:09, 8 November 2018 (UTC) reply
The background design appears to consist of the letter G (upright and inverted). I don't hold myself out to be a copyright expert, but I don't know if there's sufficient original content to consider this record cover eligible for copyright protection, although I also understand taking a cautious approach. —  MShabazz  Talk/ Stalk 20:12, 8 November 2018 (UTC) reply
Having said that, common sense certainly supports the concept behind NFCC 8. Quite apart from the copyright issue, I think it's questionable whether including such a generic record cover in the article adds anything that enhances readers' understanding of the subject, but that's a matter to discuss on the article's talk page. —  MShabazz  Talk/ Stalk 20:18, 8 November 2018 (UTC) reply
The threshold of originality in the UK is very low. Kee Scott Associates made the sleeve and is a British company. Also, Polydor Records is British. It is potentially copyrighted in the UK, but I guess I'm unsure about it being so in the US. George Ho ( talk) 20:24, 8 November 2018 (UTC) reply
Thank you that link. I find the caption to the image of the book cover here quite relevant: a book cover consisting merely of stylized text is in the public domain in the US but likely wouldn't be in the UK. As I wrote, I'm not a copyright expert; I don't know whether US copyright law applies because Wikipedia's servers are in the US or whether UK copyright law applies because the record was issued in the UK. —  Malik Shabazz  Talk/ Stalk 03:54, 9 November 2018 (UTC) reply
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Generally, enwiki cares only about copyrightability in the US.

  • Comment: The file needs to be PD in both the US (where the WMF servers are located) and in the country of origin; so, if it's below c:COM:TOO#United States but not c:COM:TOO#United Kingdom, it cannot be kept as {{ PD-simple}}. It might be possible, however, to license the file as {{ PD-ineligible-USonly}} and this is sometimes done for UK logos, etc. which are PD in the US but not the UK. While converting the license in this way means the file is no longer subject to WP:NFCC, this is really just a remix cover which is not itself the subject of any sourced critical commentary anywhere within the relevant article; moreover, the remix itself is only briefly mentioned otherwise (Phil Kelsey, who it's credited to, is not even mentioned once) without any sources cited in support. So, it's not clear if the file's really needed even if treated locally as PD. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 07:47, 23 November 2018 (UTC) reply

The team’s uniforms are mentioned in the article, but this work of art isn’t discussed at all. Larry Hockett ( Talk) 10:03, 23 November 2018 (UTC) reply

This image is no longer being used in any article. -- Walk Like an Egyptian ( talk) 21:55, 23 November 2018 (UTC) reply

Appears to have been uploaded by the subject, who took the picture and how is the copyright transferred? Ronhjones   (Talk) 16:55, 23 November 2018 (UTC) reply

File:Imran hussain mp 2015.jpg ( delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by J18h ( notify | contribs | uploads | upload log). 

Cropped copy of the background image from the subject's website (at the time of upload). It's described as self-created and CC-0 but I think this is probably a misunderstanding by the uploader; they don't describe themselves as associated with the subject.

File:Greg Knight, MP (East Yorkshire).jpg ( delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by Politicalmanusa ( notify | contribs | uploads | upload log). 

Described as "photo I took" but looks likely to be copyrighted by the subject; the same photo was being circulated with a press release two years before it was uploaded here as self-created. Note that the uploader had another file about the same person ( File:MP408.jpg) deleted as unsourced shortly after upload. Andrew Gray ( talk) 21:09, 23 November 2018 (UTC) reply
