No source. No authorship information, unknown copyright situation. Jcb (talk) 16:48, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

 Keep The uploader is a trusted contributor who tagged the image {{PD-self}} in 2006. We can safely assume this is their own work per {{Own assumed}}. Guanaco (talk) 06:14, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
{{Own assumed}} should not be inserted manually, as you can read in the documentation. The template is meant for usage by a bot and a human check is needed afterward. Assuming that somebody is the author conflicts with COM:PCP. Jcb (talk) 09:22, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Normally a bot would have applied {{Own assumed}} when adding the information template. Unfortunately someone applied {{Information}} manually without addressing source and author. Assuming without evidence conflicts with COM:PCP, but we have evidence, a clear statement by a trusted user: "I, the copyright holder of this work, release this work into the public domain."

That's not an explicit statement, the template was inserted by leaving a standard checkmark in place. Jcb (talk) 20:44, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Will you also delete the millions of pictures that were uploaded with the now default CC BY-SA 4.0 license? - Alexis Jazz ping plz 20:51, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I think it's ridiculous to delete an image that is so obviously legitimately the work of the person who uploaded it, and for which their intent to grant PD-level permission is absolutely clear. It's especially ridiculous to challenge this after over a decade, expecting someone in 2006 to have conformed consistently to practices that were still rather inconsistent at the time. - Jmabel ! talk 06:19, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Good idea, just did.. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 23:43, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
 Keep: {{PD-self}} is a perfectly adequate statement of authorship, source, and copyright status. --bjh21 (talk) 10:35, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
 Keep "Assuming that somebody is the author conflicts with COM:PCP." - no policy consensus for this adversive thesis. how many old uploads with mangled metadata do you want to delete? you realize there are 300000 of them? Slowking4 § Sander.v.Ginkel's revenge 04:07, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep: I see your: «Assuming that somebody is the author conflicts with COM:PCP.» and I raise you «Assuming that somebody is lying conflicts with COM:AGF.» One more case for the mounting Jcb’s deadmin process #4. -- Tuválkin 14:30, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • comment except the cynicism is not confined to this admin. it's one thing to disbelieve the flickr-washers, but when it's turn against the old dependable uploaders, then it becomes farce. and it is capricious, rather than a systematic license review and improvement taskflow, we see a random, one at a time, deletion campaign, with no consideration for "in use" or "is it replaceable". it is the triumph of solecism over standards.

Kept: no valid reason for deletion, as per above discussion. --Yann (talk) 12:27, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
