Obviously professional photograph, no permission from the photographer; claim of "own work" is improbable at best – the image was used here one day after it was uploaded to Wikipedia. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 17:16, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect copyright status. It's claimed as "CC/own work", but appears to be a screenshot of copyrighted web content rather than genuinely original work. It was also uploaded solely to offer technical verification of the article subject's candidacy in an election he did not win, which is not a notability claim in and of itself and has resulted in the article being up for AFD, so the image will be left completely unused and unrepurposable anywhere else as soon as the article gets deleted.

Delete - Although the author may have created this screenshot, that does not transfer any copyrights on the original material -- Whpq (talk) 13:20, 12 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As with File:Daud arsala campaign.JPG, this is claimed as CC/own work, but in fact it's just an even tighter crop of the same screenshot down to a very low-quality and low resolution focus on the subject's face itself — but since cropping somebody else's work does not magically turn it into your own new work, this still isn't really a legitimately CC-licensed image. And as with the election table screenshot, this will be unused and unrepurposable as soon as the article gets deleted. (No, it isn't on track to survive.)
