Low quality photo from a non-contributor, out of scope. — Ирука 13 05:43, 16 October 2023 (UTC) reply

I added the {{delete}} template to the page.

  • The claim that this editor is a "non-contributor" is simply not true. This is a new account which has made improvements to articles and other good faith edits. Making such a claim against a new account is not very welcoming. The regardless of the image quality, it is in use on the editor's user page which is allowed and not out of scope. @ Gfeissweet: If you really want the image deleted, you can tag it with {{ db-author}}, but otherwise, use of a personal picture on a user page is within policy, and is in fact done quite a lot. My opinion is to keep this image unless the uploader decides they no longer want to use it on their use page, but it is up to them. -- Whpq ( talk) 19:43, 16 October 2023 (UTC) reply

The copyright of the lower left photo was restored in 1996. Collage does not have a free license in US. — Ирука 13 07:18, 16 October 2023 (UTC) reply

Comment I suspect that the somewhat confusing copyright situation of the Satre image would have to be dealt with at Commons first, rather than here. The English Wikipedia will always treat a Commons file as free unless Commons decides otherwise. Felix QW ( talk) 10:44, 19 October 2023 (UTC) reply

Unused file with no encyclopedic value. — Ирука 13 07:25, 16 October 2023 (UTC) reply

Oppose - this was a file used to illustrate a case of Main Page vandalism and would likely be helpful for future reference. — Knightof theswords 14:28, 23 October 2023 (UTC) reply

In 1996, the photo was not in public domain in Pakistan and its copyright in the US will end 95 years after publication. — Ирука 13 09:46, 16 October 2023 (UTC) reply

@ Iruka13: It's unclear, since this photo was made in 1971, and it's a government work, so crown copyright (if it's called that in Pakistan) probably applies. Several commonwealth countries, like the UK, release crown copyright into the public domain, meaning URAA doesn't apply. However, it is unclear whether this phenomenon applies to Pakistan. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable than me can comment —Matr1x-101 (Ping me when replying) { user page (@ commons) - talk} 16:36, 19 October 2023 (UTC) reply
By 1971, Pakistan was a Republic and had no Crown so there is no Crown copyright involved for this photo. -- Whpq ( talk) 16:53, 19 October 2023 (UTC) reply
@ Whpq: My point is that per c:Template:PD-Pakistan, this is public domain in Pakistan as a government work. However, it is unclear whether this bypasses URAA. —Matr1x-101 (Ping me when replying) { user page (@ commons) - talk} 13:38, 21 October 2023 (UTC) reply

This image should have been an easy delete under G2 (test pages), but the Wikipedia admin @ Bbb23 rejected by nomination for no reason, and then reverted my request for elaboration on his talkpage with a nonsense reason ("attitude"). —Matr1x-101 (Ping me when replying) { user page (@ commons) - talk} 11:09, 16 October 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Keep unless User:Usernamekiran wants it deleted. — Kusma ( talk) 18:00, 16 October 2023 (UTC) reply
    @ Kusma: But why? test pages (incl files) are not allowed in Wikipedia —Matr1x-101 (Ping me when replying) { user page (@ commons) - talk} 18:08, 16 October 2023 (UTC) reply
    @ Matr1x-101 What is the obvious indication that it is a test? ~ ONUnicorn( Talk| Contribs) problem solving 18:15, 16 October 2023 (UTC) reply
    @ ONUnicorn: It says "test image" in the description —Matr1x-101 (Ping me when replying) { user page (@ commons) - talk} 18:16, 16 October 2023 (UTC) reply
    You are mistaken, and this image doesn't even satisfy the wording of G2 (it is not testing a Wikipedia function). Please stop nominating files for deletion. — Kusma ( talk) 18:16, 16 October 2023 (UTC) reply
  • @ Matr1x-101: Hello. While WP:test edit does not elaborate a lot, it does say Editing tests are considered vandalism only when a user continues to make test edits despite receiving numerous warnings. As general rule of thumb, test edits out of sandbox are allowed to some extent. The edit/page in discussion was a legitimate test/experimental edit which did not harm anything else, so it is not exactly considered as "test edit" in conventional manner. Creating this on enwiki was not my first priority/option. On Marathi wikipedia (mrwiki), uploading images is not allowed anymore. There are however a lot of images, they were uploaded when it was possible in the past. Most of them were non-free images of film posters. There was a consensus to create a bot to resize these images. But as image addition/manipulation was limited only to admnins, my bot could not do it on mrwiki. For some technical reasons, it was not possible on testwiki either. So I had to do it here. The experiment was namespace sensitive, so I could not carry it out in any sandbox either. The page was not on my watchlist, so I did not realise it was nominated for deletion for the first time. I also rarely check the talkpage of my bot. If you had contacted me, I would done it myself :-) I will nominate it for speedy shortly. —usernamekiran (talk) 18:22, 16 October 2023 (UTC) reply
