No evidence that this is a work of the US Federal Government - unlikely to be so. Kelly (talk) 06:10, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
- The origin tag on the photo explains that it comes from the Warren Comission online archives, and the link says specifically that is comes from, "Warren Commission Hearings, Volume XXV"
- Doesn't this mean that this is a photo that is on the public domain? I don't understand what the rationale would be for a deletion request such as the one above. 76.204.6.100 23:51, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
- I was logged in in WP before I came here, and the login explanation page explicitly says that having an account in WP should automatically log me in here. Well, not only is the page accepting me as a recognized user above, it also does not me allow to login into Wikimedida. 76.204.6.100 00:01, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
- I agree with the above statement. It was published in PD by the Warren Commission. Evrik (talk) 20:49, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
Keep - published without notice in the US. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 21:56, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
Delete The fact that it was published in a government document does not mean that it is free of copyright. Many government documents contain copyrighted material. Federal works are automatically PD only if they were created by government employees in the course of their work. Since this image was taken in Russia, that seems very unlikely. The copyright is owned by the photographer, who may have been Lee Harvey Oswald.
- From the USCO's booklet on Copyright Notice:
- "Under [the law before 1978], if a work was published under the copyright owner’s authority without a proper notice of copyright, all copyright protection for that work was permanently lost in the United States."
- The Warren Commission subpoenaed the photographs in the report, so they were taken from the copyright holder and published without his authority by force majeure. The lack of notice is therefore irrelevant. The photograph is still under copyright, which is probably owned by Oswald's heirs. Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 23:50, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
- Keep as per Commons:Deletion requests/File:Lho-133A.jpg discussion (although keep argument admittedly less strong here), that is to say, re-tag as Pieter suggests above (PD-US-no notice)--Brian Dell (talk) 20:22, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
