File:PreviouslyHeldTerr RussianEmpire.PNG

Orphaned map, accuracy disputed on the file talk page. No foreseeable encyclopedic use. Uploader's account is globally locked. ✗ plicit 00:30, 25 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Delete, I feel like any use this file could have is overtaken by file currently used on the Russian Empire article. -Samoht27 (talk) 07:36, 25 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

File:WWIII.png

[edit ]

Entirely fictional elements, no use outside of user-space, little probable encyclopedic value, -Samoht27 (talk) 06:15, 25 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Delete has no obvious use and has not been created based on any obvious source other than the user's own ideas. This also applies to File:North America, post-Second Great War (Southern Victory).jpg but maybe not File:Race invasion.png which is based on a work by Harry Turtledove (but isn't currently used on any mainspace pages).

File:Gliding Over All Breaking Bad.jpg

[edit ]

This file's use in the Gliding Over All article is purely decorative and fails WP:NFCC#8. No critical commentary regarding this shot exists within the article, and a readers understanding of the topic is not enhanced by this image (illustrating the plot does not count). An example of an episode article that has a clear justification for an image would be Ozymandias (Breaking Bad), Granite State (Breaking Bad), Face Off (Breaking Bad), and a few other select examples. Those articles have images because of significant critical commentary regarding those shots (e.g. analysis sections or awards). But nothing about this specific shot of this specific episode warrants having this image. Maybe there's some critical commentary out there for this shot (hard to tell, the articles for almost every Breaking Bad episode are quite frankly terrible), but at present it's a pretty clear failure of NFCC.

Bill Withers album covers

[edit ]

Both album covers were originally published in the US without an attached copyright notice (sources: Discogs [for Just As I Am], Discogs [for Still Bill]). They are thus in the public domain due to failing formalities and should be transferred to Commons as {{PD-US-no notice}}. JohnCWiesenthal (talk) 19:22, 25 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

File:FogCam website.png

[edit ]

Even the previous version should be PD-automated + PD-simple (the text is mere statement of fact). I don't think the webcam is movable, and unless California laws are different, this should be a clear-cut case for PD-automated. Jay Cubby 22:20, 25 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

As the uploader, I considered labelling it under PD-automated, but did not due to the following factors. The webcam is just an old camera on a tripod--I'd consider it movable. There is also more of an artistic intent in its placement than that of simple CCTVs. Ca ^{talk to me!} 00:05, 26 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Given that, I'd say withdraw, I didn't realize it was semi-movable. Fair concern. Jay Cubby 01:44, 26 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Comment

I have a comment on the "fixed and movable" stance. Since the website relaunched in 2021 it is always pointing at the Campus Park with minor adjustments to zoom. Can a single piece of blue tape make a camera called "fixed"? 1 2 3 It's like I changed my Ring camera from one place to another and the camera needed to be installed in a new place near.

Keep Assume NFC and treat accordingly. Not clearly PD. Buffs (talk) 01:27, 26 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

[edit ]

File:Assyriansinholland2.jpg (delete | talk | history | links | logs)

I request the deletion of the image Assyriansinholland2.jpg for the following reasons:

This image was not taken in the Netherlands but rather in France/Belgium, as evidenced by the French text on the banners.
The source of the image is unclear, and it is unknown whether it is copyrighted or not, as the link it references is no longer accessible.

Due to these concerns regarding misleading information and potential copyright issues, I kindly request its removal. Kivercik (talk) 18:15, 18 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Fails WP:NFCCP 1 - the wordmark logo and plenty of images of the buses are on Commons that can be used instead of this. Schützenpanzer (Talk) 23:34, 25 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
