• A plaque in the United States from 2001 or later. This smells unfree. Stefan2 ( talk) 00:08, 4 December 2011 (UTC) reply
• You think that a photograph of a plaque dedicating a Manhattan fire house to the memory a fire fighter who died in the World Trade Center disaster "smells unfree"? As a New Yorker I'm appalled. I've removed your ridiculous tag (and have also moved the image to File:KeithRomaFP2.JPG to correct the mispelling). Please edit with more sense in the future.

• Comment - I understand that the image can evoke emotions, but I think that "...dedicating a Manhattan fire house to the memory a fire fighter who died in the World Trade Center disaster 'smells unfree'..." is irrelevant to whether or not the image is unfree.-- Rockfang ( talk) 07:46, 4 December 2011 (UTC) reply

  • Those are Commons images, so not relevant here. Beyond My Ken ( talk) 19:41, 4 December 2011 (UTC) reply
• Comment This image was apparently uploaded at Commons immediately after the discussion started here, so there is now also a discussion going on at Commons:Commons:Deletion requests/File:KeithRomaFP2.JPG. -- Stefan2 ( talk) 15:07, 4 December 2011 (UTC) reply
  • Yes, the image is free, and free images should be at Commons. It had already been tagged for transfer, so I transferred it. Since there's a discussion about it there, it should be deleted here per the normal transfer process. Beyond My Ken ( talk) 19:41, 4 December 2011 (UTC) reply
    • On Commons, the nominator has withdrawn the nomination and !voted to keep the file. [1] Given that, this discussion should be closed, and the files deleted from en.wiki. Beyond My Ken ( talk) 23:24, 6 December 2011 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: Keep. We don't have enough discussion here to determine the disposition of dozens of these images, even if they are similar along a number of dimensions. Further, the policies and norms of wikimedia commons are not the same as those on Wikipedia. A big difference is in the terms and contours of copyright law. We can host material which is in the public domain in the US but not in another country while commons has decided to host only files which meet much stricter copyright stances. As such I am not willing to delete files here based on a policy on commons. Protonk ( talk) 00:03, 20 December 2011 (UTC) reply

• Keep all Mass deletion of signature files was discussed at DRV here and the files were undeleted. The DRV followed an RFC which reduced Wikipedia:Signatures of living persons to an essay. My understanding is that signature files are sometimes permitted on Wikipedia, regardless of copyright in the country of origin. Individual files may be deleted on individual merits. Thincat ( talk) 23:52, 6 December 2011 (UTC) reply

I see nothing in the links mentioned above that says that signatures from India should be public domain or that WMF has desided that we keep them anyway. -- MGA73 ( talk) 18:42, 8 December 2011 (UTC) reply

Oh, don't you? At the DRV I linked to above and here the closing admin's rationale says "Multiple signatures of living people – Undelete all. As the "undelete" !voters have pointed out, there is no consensus for mass deleting signatures like these, as evidenced by the discussion about WP:BLPSIGN. Such deletions are not inherently supported by WP:BLP policy, and so the images should be considered individually should anyone wish to delete them". The discussion was mostly (entirely?) about Indian signatures. This was the culmination of extended FFD, DRV, and RFC on guideline/essay discussions. I am not saying I agree with what was decided (as it happens I don't) but it was the consensus of a considerable series of discussions. If you are testing the waters again, fine, but a delete decision here would likely (and should) go to DRV. Individual FFDs have not been deprecated. By the way, I suspect most Indian signatures (but certainly not all) are copyright (opposite of US), but do you have a good reference? These files look to me to be licence tagged unsatisfactorily though they could easily be "corrected". So, they could be deleted on rather technical grounds though personally I dislike that sort of image deletion. Thincat ( talk) 12:12, 9 December 2011 (UTC) reply

I have created Template:PD-signature to attempt to remedy the technical problem. Thincat ( talk) 11:31, 10 December 2011 (UTC) reply

• Keep. The issue of "India" and "signatures" needs to be brought up at Commons talk:When to use the PD-signature tag so that an consensus is reached on if they are copyrighted or not. Nominator has not supplied any source that shows that signatures are copyrighted in India (just because they aren't in the UK don't mean they aren't in India), so deletion is premature.-- ARTEST4ECHO ( ^talk/ _contribs) 20:07, 12 December 2011 (UTC) reply
• Comment Is it not uploader and those that want to keep that should prove that signatures are PD in India?

And also my listing here is not for all signatures on en-wiki. It is for signatures in India and I see no reason why all the signatures from India should not be judged by the same law. In other words: If one signature is a copyvio then all the other signatures is also a copyvio and should be deleted and if one is free then all is ok and should be kept. I tried to remove signatures from people that died more than 70 years ago since I think that they would be {{ PD-old}}. -- MGA73 ( talk) 22:55, 19 December 2011 (UTC) reply
