[edit]

no author is given and image is not older than 100 years, so pd-old is not possible -- Frumpy 16:29, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Does commons use the 100-year rule? At any rate, if the author is unknown, then {{PD-UK-unknown}} would apply. There is a larger version here; maybe someone can look up the book mentioned to see if there is a photo credit in there. Carl Lindberg 06:05, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Whoops, I meant here. It was en:Horace de Vere Cole (died 1936) who sent the photo to the newspaper, but it's not mentioned on the web page who actually took it. This page has a thumbnail of a similar but slightly different photo; there must have been a series taken (apparently from the cover of this Spanish book; maybe that has more info). Maybe an admin could see if there was any further info on the original wiki page that has since been deleted. According to this page, Cole is the person on the far right in the photo. He presumably did have the photo commissioned... if he is the owner, then it would be PD-Old. If the author was not mentioned when it was published in the newspaper, then PD-UK-unknown would apply I would think. Carl Lindberg 14:30, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Until user who requests deletion has links that make sense; recommend not deleting image. 68.50.247.189 06:55, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Is there a crusade against useful pictures in Wikipedia on? I find this deletion request pretty sinister. Let's not split hairs, Cole asked for this picture to be published so it can safely be considered to be in the public domain. Maikel 22:37, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Kept, assuming that de Vere Cole was the author. / Fred J 15:22, 20 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
