No evidence of publication prior to March 1, 1989. If it was not published until after March 1, 1989 then it will still be copyright in the US. As there is no proof as to how this image is and remains PD in the US it should be deleted as per COM:PRP. LGA _talk^edits 00:45, 22 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

 Keep There is also no evidence that this was not published before March 1, 1989. It seems to me that this is attempt to by pass the community decision in Commons:Massive restoration of deleted images by the URAA. This picture was taken in 1956 and it is part of The National Photo Collection of Israel see here and was published than. Realy I do not understand the purpos of this act, There is no problem with this picture. Hanay (talk) 03:52, 22 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The COM:EVID policy is very clear on who has to demonstrate what and it is the uploader or someone wishing to retain the image who have the burden of proof. Absent the proof demonstrating how this file has ever entered into the Public Domain in the US it should be deleted as per the COM:PRP. LGA _talk^edits 04:11, 22 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This seems like a clear COM:POINT case. There seems to be a mad rush to delete any URAA image under any pretense whatsoever, no matter how outlandish it might be, as long as it fits the formal rules. Our goal should be to keep files if at all possible, not delete them if at all possible. —Ynhockey (talk) 10:00, 22 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This only your opinion, this is not a fact. I added to the picture a link to the picture page in The National Photo Collection of Israel. You can see the publication date there. I quote here what User:Prokurator11 wrote in Commons:Deletion requests/File:Aharon Hoter Yishai.JPG : Despite the neutrally phrased disguise, the nomination is clearly based on URAA-related arguments, which, as the community has quite clearly stated, may not be used as the sole reason for deletion. The only relevance of proof of publication before March 1, 1989 (the date the US joined the Berne convention), would be for the purpose of establishing the applicability of COM:Subsisting copyright in the context of URAA copyright restoration. However, it is not sufficient to establish that the work is not in public domain in the US under URAA (and it is evidently not). The relevant question would be whether the work is in public domain under the applicable law other than URAA. Under PD:Israel the publication date has no legal implication, since it is the date of the creation of the work that matters under the applicable law, and there is a sufficient evidence regarding this image being PD in the source country, as in the US (otherwise as due to URAA).

•  Keep I think that the source is the National Photo Collection, which probably publish this photo before 1989. Ovedc (talk) 08:17, 22 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
•  Keep The fact is, if the image was created by the government in 1956 then the copyright under Israeli law expired on December 31, 2006. See clause 42 here (Hebrew). —Ynhockey (talk) 10:00, 22 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
•  Keep See Hana's explanation above. Oyoyoy (talk) 15:06, 22 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
•  Keep if what LGA is trying to say is true, then the picture that was taken in 1956 must have been unpublished nowhere for 34 years. it doesn't seems to me to be a reasonable doubt. Ely1 (talk) 05:29, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
•  Comment Just to clarify; the status of the work in the source country (Israel) is not relevant to it's status in the US as the US does not apply the rule of shorter term. Knowing the date of publication along with the nature of that publication is the only way of confirming if this work has ever been PD in the US. It is very common for national archives to maintain collections of documents and photographs that are closed to the public and are only released after long after the event (the WP page on the Israel State Archives says 30 years). In summary unless a first publication date for this is known and where it was published and if necessary that the publication did not have a copyright notice it can not be assumed to have ever been be PD in the US, and if it has never been PD in the US it was not covered by the URAA.

Restored by Yannf, differing opinion from closing admin, and seemingly reflecting the above consensus his reasoning  — billinghurst sDrewth 03:07, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

While this image is without question {{PD-Israel}} there is no indication that it is free in the US or any other country that does not use rule of shorter term.Following Wikimedia Foundation issued the following statement on 14 February 2012 where they recommended "Commons community should still examine media on a case-by-case basis" and the long standing requirement of COM:L that images must be free to use in both United States and in the source country this image fails on the first of those and should be deleted. It lacks any firm proof of publication in either Israel or the US prior to March 1, 1989 and should therefore should be deleted as failing COM:L as not being free in the United States.

That is enough of your repetition. There is a community consensus above that the probability is that the files have been published due to the nature of their history. It is an abuse of your participation to continue your deletion requests with the same arguments. Please leave it be.  — billinghurst sDrewth 03:09, 19 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
