[edit] Could you please explain

Could you please explain your closure of Commons:Deletion requests/File:Poster of Massoud, Intercontinental Hotel, Kabul, November 16, 2007.jpg?

Nominator asserted the image violated our rules on derivative works. He questioned why the image bore a {{PD-Afghanistan}} template.

While a photo of a politician's campaign poster, in other countries, like the USA, might legitimately trigger concerns the photo violated our policy on derivative rights I am concerned that the {{PD-Afghanistan}} template was recoginized as applying to both the photo of an Afghan politician's campaign poster, taken in Afghanistan and to the poster in the photo.

The nominator seems to be saying that we should assume the photo was taken by a European. They base this assumption on their own personal opinion -- "original research" if you will. And, even if the Massoud did employ a foreigner to take this picture, if the picture was taken in Afghanistan {{PD-Afghanistan}} would still apply. Geo Swan (talk) 16:38, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Forgotten deletions

You closed Commons:Deletion requests/File:VZLAVoteBurning6JPG.jpg as delete, but you did not delete the file. Same for the other numbers in this series, it seems. Regards, /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 10:42, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Also Commons:Deletion requests/File:Typhoon Generation.jpg. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 17:10, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

And another one: Commons:Deletion requests/File:Portale Annibale Mariotti.jpg. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 21:59, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Done & deleted. Pieter, Michael is active only very sporadically these days; he "temporarily retired" in August and has edited only rarely since then. Lupo 22:44, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Thanks Lupo, but can you also delete File:VZLAVoteBurning1JPG.jpg and the other numbers in this series? Also those were closed as delete. See User talk:Maxsmodels for the whole series. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 23:44, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Done. Lupo 08:13, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
