Ne evidence that Sanija approved release. Ђидо (talk) 01:50, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
- Also affects: File:Sanija Ameti, 2021.jpg. Regards, Aafi (talk) 04:23, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
- Keep. "Ne evidence that Sanija approved release" suggests the scenario that this is her private photograph and that someone is sharing it without her permission, but the same photograph is used as her portrait on the official website of the organization of which she is co-president. I believe that she took the selfie, uploaded it to her organization's website—and—to Commons, in order to update the information about her on Wikipedia. There is no specific reason to suspect that the uploader is not the author. Per COM:MYWORK: Usually, stating that it is a selfie will suffice if that is really the case, though in some cases you may be asked for additional evidence. This should be the "usually" case and not a case when we really need to ask for additional evidence.—Alalch E. (talk) 14:25, 21 September 2024 (UTC)

- Uploader did essentially two contributions across all Wikimedia projects: Added Sanija's selfie, and updated some info about en:University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Western Switzerland, a month later. People interests are diverse, but simplest explanation is that Sanija, who just took presidentship of a political party, probably has no vested interest nor knowledge of school she didn't go to, nor has any association with.
- Simpler explanation is that User:Sasouks and Sanija are two different people. It is even quite probable that uploader is someone close to Sanija, but who went to said school.
- Second, this is clearly a selfie, so it was taken by subject herself, so she is the author.
- Now, it is also quite possible, even overwhelmingly probable, that Sanija gave that image to another person to update Wikipedia article with it. It is also likely she has no objections to Wikipedia use.
- However, knowing, being aware and approving of use of image is not same as legally releasing rights via CC license.
- I am encountering this a lot with images of public personas -- I find out that copyright laws are very hard concept to grasp for majority people. Most of them think that giving a copy of image to someone is same as giving them license to share it, or that because they are subject of the photograph, and they hold a printed copy of it in their album, they own copyright on it.

Speedy keep https://youtube.com/watch?v=N70wQfqxuCE the author of this image is aware of it being used on wikipedia in Dec 2022.- no evidence that she considered this copyvio and filed dmca requests. RZuo (talk) 17:00, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
Delete Although weakly, but just because she's aware that the image was on Wikipedia that doesn't mean she wants anyone to use it for any purpose. There's been plenty of instances in the past where people gave permission for an image to be on Wikipedia but then it was deleted on our end because "Wikipedia" isn't a general license that allows for other uses. --Adamant1 (talk) 18:55, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
- There's also no special reason to think that the person who uploaded this as an own work released under CC BY-SA 4.0 has submitted any false information. — Alalch E. (talk) 20:36, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
- There's no reason they can't file VRT permission like everyone else in a similar situation does then. Not to accuse you of anything but you seem to really be against any kind of standards for inclusion here. We don't need a "special reason" to delete the image. That's not how this works. The fact that there's zero evidence she's the uploader and/or released the image under a free license is more then enough. If in fact she is and did then there's no reason she can't file VRT permission like everyone else though. Honestly I find your instance that the uploader shouldn't have to more then a little wierd. Who cares? If she uploaded it then she can just file VRT permission. Its not a big deal and makes zero difference what-so-ever outside of assuring the file is freely licensed. --Adamant1 (talk) 04:29, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
- They could perhaps, but do they even know that they are asked to? They last edited in 2021. Our practice is to trust the uploader unless there is reason not to. The discussion at the file talk page, linked above, suggests that the image wasn't on the internet before being uploaded here, and that she is aware of the image being published here. If that's true, we need quite strong evidence for a "significant doubt" about the image's copyright status. –LPfi (talk) 21:19, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
- @LPfi: There's two reasons to doubt this. Both of which I think are totally valid and have certainly led to similar images being deleted in the past. 1. There's nothing on our end or anywhere else to indicate that the uploader is Sanija Ameti 2. From what I understand the images were already available on other websites being uploaded to Commons. One or both of those things would result in the image being deleted in any other instance. No insult to you or anyone who thinks the images should be kept, but this whole thing really just comes off like bad faithed white knighting. --Adamant1 (talk) 04:30, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
- I don't think they are valid in this case.
- Usually we trust the uploader, by policy. In this case there is even some evidence that she knows about the uploads. If she didn't agree with having them uploaded (on the terms indicated by the uploader, whether or not it was her), she should have protested.
- Is there some evidence? My reading of the file talk page thread is that the earlier occurrence(s) had lower resolution.
- (There is nothing anywhere indicating that photos I have uploaded were taken by me – I can prove that, sort of, for most photos, but there is no guarantee I'd see a "no permission" message in time, nor that I'd bother to dig the proof up. I indeed hope that Commons doesn't let them go if I'm not here to defend them after a few years, let alone photos more important than those of mine.)

This deletion request should also handle the extracted image File:Sanija Ameti, 2021.jpg, which was deleted as "no permission since" by User:Aafi. Either both are copyright violations or neither. It is very bad for Commons that you can get images deleted by just slapping that template on them (how would a user not active since 2021 notice?). –LPfi (talk) 21:09, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
- @LPfi, thanks for the ping. I have restored the image and added a DR template linking to this page. Regards, Aafi (talk) 04:22, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
