The state of Iowa maintains copyrights. Magog the Ogre (t • c) 04:08, 2 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There was absolutely no evidence -- let alone proof -- presented at Commons for the file being a copyvio. The entirety of the discussion was that the editor had uploaded copyvios in the past, which, of course, is not in any way dispositive of the provenance of the present image. If the file is a copyright violation, please present the evidence that shows this to be the case, instead of simply assuming it. Beyond My Ken (talk) 03:27, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

- @Beyond My Ken: I think it would make your case stronger if you had the original file (cropped and/or uncropped) successfully undeleted at Commons first. Also, not all files were deleted in the original deletion discussion, so it wasn't a flatout mass-deletion based on the incredibility of the original uploader. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 15:58, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - I have no intention of swimming upstream at Commons. As Commons policy differs from en.wiki's, there should be no relationship between actions taken there and the proposed action here. It remains the case that no one has presented a scintilla of evidence to show that the image is non-free. Beyond My Ken (talk) 03:17, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
