This image's role of illustrating Minions (Despicable Me) can be achieved with c:File:202406111126 IMG 1268.jpg on Commons; thus, it fails WP:NFCC#1. JohnCWiesenthal (talk) 03:48, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

File:Nawaf Salam addressing UN General Assembly.jpg (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by Wbassi ( | contribs | uploads | upload log). 

I declined a speedy deletion for copyright violation as this is not unambiguously a copyright violation. A lower resolution version of this image was deleted from Commons at c:Commons:Deletion requests/File:AmbNawaf Salam addressing UN General Assembly.jpg. The image is no longer at the URL referenced in the Commons discussion. The comments from the uploader would seem to indicate that the photo was provided by the subject (Nawaf Salam) and he was granted some sort of permission. There is no evidence of what this permission is. As well, the subject of the photo would not be the copyright holder so permission would not be coming from the right source in any case.

File:Academy Award trophy.png (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by Moonrivers ( | contribs | uploads | upload log). 

As I understand it, the statuette is {{PD-1923}} as it was first 'published' (awarded) in 1929. However, per c:COM:ART#Photograph of an old sculpture found on the Internet, or in a book, the photo is unfree as there is no permission from the photographer. The picture therefore violates WP:NFCC#1. There is a freely licensed photo on Commons: c:File:Academy Award of Merit (Oscar).png. Stefan2 (talk) 15:29, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

See c:COM:ART#Photograph of an old coin found on the Internet. We need permission from the photographer for 3D things like this. The file violates WP:NFCC#1 as someone else could take a photo of the same object. It's all rights reserved on Flickr.

The artwork itself is {{PD-old-auto-expired|1936}}. Stefan2 (talk) 16:35, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The rationale used is illegitimate - this is not used for commentary on the TV program. Tchiani is alive, so the usual biographical photo rationale fails. There is no reason that someone in Niger cannot hypothetically take a photo of him today, failing the replacability aspect. No matter how annoying it is that we don't have a free photo of a leader of a country, that is not an exception to the rule, see Kim Jong Un kerfuffle.
