[edit]The National Anthem of North Korea "Aegukka" was composed by Kim Wŏn'gyun (1917-2002). Since North Korea is 50pma, his composition will be copyrighted until January 1, 2053. The uploader claims that the author of this midi file has licensed this midi file under the terms of the Free Art License. I can't find any indication of this at the source, but unfortunately, even if that were true, it is not enough as it is still a derivative work of the copyrighted composition. Previously, there were similar, but not identical, DRs at Commons:Deletion requests/File:National Anthem of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea).ogg and Commons:Deletion requests/File:National Anthem of North Korea.ogg. —RP88 (talk) 01:40, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
The former national anthem of Republic of the Congo "Les Trois Glorieuses" was composed by Philippe Mockouamy (d. 2017). Since Republic of the Congo is 50pma, his composition will be copyrighted until January 1, 2068. The uploader claims that the author of this midi file has licensed this midi file under the terms of the Free Art License. I can't find any indication of this at the source, but unfortunately, even if that were true, it is not enough as it is still a derivative work of the copyrighted composition. —RP88 (talk) 02:18, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
The national anthem of Democratic Republic of the Congo "Debout Congolais" was composed by Simon-Pierre Boka di Mpasi Londi (1929-2006). Since Democratic Republic of the Congo is 50pma, his composition will be copyrighted until January 1, 2057.
- File:Democratic congo anthem.ogg — the source indicates that this particular performance/sound recording is CC-BY-4.0, so that is fine, but unfortunately that is not enough as any performance will still be a derivative work of the copyrighted composition.
- File:Debout Congolais.mid — the uploader claims that the author of this midi file has licensed this midi file under the terms of the Free Art License. I can't find any indication of this at the source, but unfortunately, even if that were true, it is not enough as it is still a derivative work of the copyrighted composition.
- File:National anthem of Democratic Republic of the Congo, performed by the United States Navy Band.wav — it is pretty clear that this performance is public domain in the US. However, Commons requires that works be public domain or covered by a valid free license in both the U.S. and the country of origin of the work, and this work is not in the public domain in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. English Wikipedia hosts a version of the same US Navy performance at en:File:Democratic Republic of the Congo's national anthem.ogg, with instructions not to transfer it to Commons for this reason.

This file is a derivative work of a copyrighted recent edition of the Talmud by Oz VeHadar, not the PD Vilna Talmud. Rpd9760572 (talk) 03:29, 2 August 2024 (UTC) Update: Upon looking further I have found out this is actually not the Oz veHadar edition, as can be seen from the absence of the Oz veHadar features "Mesorat HaShas im Hosafot" and "hagahot ve-tziyunim", as well as the bolded headers of Rashi and Tosafot being in Rashi script and not block script, and this edition names their Rashi cross-references "Mussaf Rashi", whereas Oz veHadar names theirs "likkutei Rashi". Rather, it is the "Shas Nehardea" edition of Vagschal Publishing Co. (available on Hebrewbooks.org). Rpd9760572 (talk) 16:59, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
- Content first published before 1929 cannot be newly copyrighted, even if the text is reset or multiple public-domain texts are combined. There may be copyrighted material in the Oz veHadar Shas but none of it is visible in this image. GordonGlottal (talk) 03:54, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
- I'm not sure that's true when it comes to new editions, but besides there are some original features in this edition actually visible in this file that are not present in the Vilna edition, namely the Mussaf Rashi on the side and the full biblical quotations (while obviously the text of these itself is PD, this new presentation of them is probably copyrighted, though I'm no copyright expert). See the image on the right and compare. Rpd9760572 (talk) 17:50, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

Keep If you have to ask, the answer is no. – Illegitimate Barrister (talk • contribs), 09:30, 2 August 2024 (UTC)- Delete Yes, I think it is. It's posted on his campaign account, not https://www.youtube.com/@WhiteHouse. There is no evidence that government employees made this, and IMO it would be improper (and perhaps illegal) if they did. I do not think this is a government work. —Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 20:41, 9 August 2024 (UTC)

Photo files come from the Minnesota Digital Library, which very clearly says "No Copyright" on the page. Please remove all the deletion requests.

Keep: the road and bridge are the main elements and the size of this poster is rather de minimis. We could blur the possible copyright elements, i.e., the photos of the 4 people. The rest is too simple to copyright being simply text and a simple text and shape logo. Ww2censor (talk) 11:19, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

- Comment: (nom): This came to my attemtion during categorization of work in Category:Tram stops in Dublin/Category:LUAS tram system which arose when I looking to loads a handful of LUAS images I had recently taken and was trying to find if they were duplicate. I had initially thought this was a totally straightforward near duplicate of Commons:Deletion requests/File:Spencer Dock Luas stop.jpg but the likely outcome of Commons:Deletion requests/2D Murals in Dublin has made me come back a take a second look. I observe on the other Spencer Dock discussion M.nelson !voted delete on a Commons:FOP Ireland basis but on closer inspection Ww2censor used the COM:PCP criteria. Also pinging Gbawden as the closer of Spencer Dock. I now find this nomination as unsafe and will be withdrawing it under my alt username Deirge Ó Dhaoinebeaga under which the nomination was done. Apologies - the results of previous discussions have led me to step back on this one. Djm-leighpark (talk) 10:54, 4 August 2022 (UTC) (Deirge Ó Dhaoinebeaga)

- Support Delete. Wikimedia Commons is not a place to be misused for promoting political agendas and fringe claims. --SilentResident (talk) 14:43, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- Comment If Greece put this symbol forward as representing Macedonians, it is notable and needs to be kept. Keeping a symbol on the basis that it was promoted by a nation's government does not constitute taking a view on it. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:17, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
- The symbol is already kept in Wikimedia Commons in an encyclopedically neutral way [1] without mixing politics into it and without promoting any POV-pushing claims. The current file [2] which is nominated for deletion, on the other hand, serves no purpose since it is visually identical, except its description contains messages which support the far-right fringe political theory of Macedonism (more about it at the article Macedonian nationalism) and the uploader of the file was spotted by other users in Wikipedia attempting to put it into the wiki project, but was reverted [3] for their biased agenda. Symbols and files misused to promote fringe far-right theories from the backdoor into articles that otherwise wouldn't be able to make their way there, have no place in Wikimedia Commons. The file should be deleted without question. --SilentResident (talk) 03:01, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

This is not a gallery page: with only one photo. In my opinion a gallery page has a lot of images and the purpose is "to present readers with a structured and meaningful collection of the media found here on Wikimedia Commons" (see Commons:Galleries). This gallery page does not meet these criteria. There is already a Wikidata item with this photo, so I think this photo has been enough put in the spotlight, we do not need a gallery page for this one photo.

Going by the Exif data, those portraits are copyrighted by the MTVA - there's no evidence, neither in the Exif, nor in the source (where the photographs are nowhere to be seen) that this was released into PD.
