@Geo Swan and Ruthven: This file was deleted as "Unused photo of an unknown person – out of COM:SCOPE", although it was pointed out that the person was a named politician. I don't know at what level to put the threshold for politicians (and I don't know this one), but the rationale was moot. The file may have been uploaded as advertisement, but so what? We have no reason to discourage uploading images of politicians in early stages of their carrier. We want to have these images when, perhaps sometime, the persons get famous, instead of only then hunting for the images (and probably get a more one-sided collection). The images may also be valuable as something like a cross-section of candidates. –LPfi (talk) 13:11, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

•  Weak support Scope-wise I think a candidate for the US Congress is notable enough, and there has been some coverage of this person's campaign. [1][2] We should undelete the first revision. The second revision by Us investigations was a violation of COM:OVERWRITE and should not be restored. De728631 (talk) 13:35, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
•  Oppose as mentioned in the recent UDR, this is a small image, and unlikely to be own work as claimed. Yann (talk) 17:48, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

 Info As far as I can tell, subject dropped out of the race in April 2020 long before the election. en:2020 United States House of Representatives elections in Washington#District 3. Thuresson (talk) 23:35, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

 Oppose We considered this image a week ago and decided not to restore it. We agreed then that an image of the subject has a place on Commons but that both of these are likely copyvios and that a free license from the actual photographer is required. Therefore this should be closed because all of the discussion above (except Yann) is moot and there is nothing here that raises a new issue. .     Jim . . .

Concerning File:Protocetus BW.jpg: in Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Protocetus we see:

The artist is the uploader

The declared author is Nobu Tamura, the uploader is User:A. C. Tatarinov. @FunkMonk: could you explain this, please? Ankry (talk) 11:50, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

 Support Ankry, I don't understand. When I look at File:Protocetus BW.jpg, I see uploader User:ArthurWeasley~commonswiki claiming own work. I think we have established that Nobu Tamura is User:ArthurWeasley~commonswiki.

I also note that part of the controversy surrounding these files is that he has (or had) them on his web site at high resolution with CC-BY-NC-ND and at low resolution with CC-BY. Several years ago we established that under copyright law there is only one "work" whatever the resolution and therefore if the works appear with a CC-BY license, then that license is effective for all resolutions. .     Jim . . .

Hello, the photo File:Marino-lagattolla-head-of-seo-specialist.jpg is just me and so I agree to the creative common laws for my image. Thank you for your time and for your attention. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Laga77olla (talk • contribs) 13:25, 28 April 2022‎ (UTC)

• Signing your posts is required on talk pages and it is a Commons policy to sign your posts on deletion requests, undeletion requests, and noticeboards. To do so, simply add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your comments. Your user name or IP address (if you are not logged in) and a timestamp will then automatically be added when you save your comment. Signing your comments helps people to find out who said something and provides them with a link to your user/talk page (for further discussion). Thank you.

 Oppose We do not keep personal photos of non-contributors. Commons is not Facebook. I also note that you claim to be the photographer. Since the image does not appear to be a selfie, that may be incorrect. If so, it is a serious violation of Commons rules. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:44, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

Reason: The picture is from the Austrian State Archive. In Austria, the copyright for an image expires 50 years after the image was taken. This image has been created in the 1940s. Quasitiv (talk) 21:00, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

•  Oppose - Austria is pma + 70 per COM:AUSTRIA. You also claimed this to be your own work and to be be under a cc-by-ba 4.0 license, both blatant untruths, and have provided no source as required by COM:EVID and COM:L. Эlcobbola _talk 21:05, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

 Oppose Also note that while a 1940s image might be PD in Austria, if the photographer died before 1952, it cannot be PD in the USA until 95 years after creation., see COM:URAA. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 12:57, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
