Commons:Deletion requests/Image:HutchPkwyNewRochelle.JPG

Date of photo is unknown and could be too recent for US PD, so it does not qualify as PD. Image source gives some restrictions on use that appear to be incompatible with Commons requirements. Orlady (talk) 01:41, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally, I find that construction of the road started in 1924, which makes this photo later than 1923. --Orlady (talk) 01:46, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

•  Keep If the LoC can't find a copyright for this image then I'm sure I would be even less likely to. Them stating the obvious, that even if it was copyrighted fair use rights remain is just their way of covering their ass. -Nard the Bard 01:46, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment Tend to agree with Nard; US photos from this era (mid 1920s to early 1930s from cars) have fallen into the public domain uless specific copyrights were registered and renewed; the LOC is the repository of record for such US copyrights and I think we take their word on US copyright status unless we have specific information to question it on individual case. -- Infrogmation (talk) 14:30, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • The information about copyright is on the Library of Congress website, but is from a library at Harvard University. What it says is "The Frances Loeb Library is unaware of any copyright in the images in this collection. All images in this collection may be used for educational and scholarly purposes, but we do ask that a credit line be included with each image used (see below). For permission to copy or use materials for commercial uses, please contact the Visual Resources Librarian of the Francis Loeb Library for further information regarding the Loeb Library's reproduction policies. The nature of historical archival photograph and slide collections means that copyright or other information about restrictions may be difficult or even impossible to determine; the Harvard Graduate School of Design would like to hear from anyone who may have additional information regarding the images found in this collection."

 Delete Transfer to English Wikipedia as fair use. --Simonxag (talk) 11:07, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No fair use claim could be justified for this image because other images can be easily obtained. The road still exists and appears essentially as it did in this photo. There are other suitable images to illustrate the article, including the two images that the uploader deleted from EN:Hutchinson River Parkway when inserting this image there. (Note that the uploading user has been blocked at EN as one of the many sockpuppets of a user who was banned after indiscretions that have included an extensive history of making false claims regarding the ownership and permission status of images.) --Orlady (talk) 02:40, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The photograph is clearly attributed to the source it was obtained from - the Library of Congress. As stated on the Library of Congress website, the photograph is from a collection labeled "American Landscape and Architectural Design, 1850-1920" [1]. There is nothing here to indicate 'subversive actions' or false claims on the part of the uploader. The image is placed in the "history" section which seems appropriate. The two other images within the article were not deleted from the article as falsely claimed in the comment above. The images were moved to another section detailing the exits found along the Parkway today. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.20.127.243 (talk • contribs)

Deleted. per Orlady: "construction of the road started in 1924, which makes this photo later than 1923". Insufficient evidence for PD status. MichaelMaggs (talk) 21:00, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
