Commons:Deletion requests/Image:Latuff cartoon Israeli soldier voting.jpg

This deletion debate is now closed. Please do not make any edits to this archive.

Based on a real photograph that is very likely copyrighted by the IDF. The cartoon by Latuff is a derivative of that photo and therefore Latuff’s claim of "copyright free" might be invalid. --Liftarn 13:19, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've invited for comment also on Commons talk:Licensing. -- Túrelio 13:46, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete unless the photograph of which this is clearly modified from can be identified as similarly free licenced. (Some of this cartoonists work look like original cartoons and others look like modifications of news photos likely used without credit or permission; I think Commons should not store copies of those in the second category.) -- Infrogmation 20:31, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as above --Simonxag 21:53, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per Infrogmation. If the underlying photo is copyrighted, the author's use of it may fall under "fair use" (parody/satire/caricature), but this "fair use" makes the cartoon ineligible for being hosted here. Lupo 22:52, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per above --Herby ^{talk thyme} 11:43, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The requester has not demonstrated that the image is based on a real photograph. Grounds to such gratuitous statements, we could delete the most part of the Commons database. --Juiced lemon 10:50, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

IMHO there is no need to "demonstrate that the image is based on a real photograph" as anybody can see that. And if I remember our rules rightly, the uploader of an image has to demonstrate that it is free. -- Túrelio 14:12, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Without any demonstration, “based on a real photograph” is a spurious statement, made-up in order to delete the image for undisclosed reasons. --Juiced lemon 13:12, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You are trying to reverse the burden of evidence. Anyway, a quick googling found http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/not_in_website/syndication/monitoring/media_reports/2696185.stm and it looks like that may be the original photo. The article actually gives an interesting background for the altered photo. // Liftarn

@Liftarn: though we differ in opinion, thanks for that excellent research! A right-click on that image on the BBC website gives the file name "_38741463_soldiervote3001_ap"; additionally the image carries a vertical caption "AP" on the right side. So this is a photography by AP. Were are lucky AP hasn't sued us already. -- Túrelio 14:13, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete this racist cartoon is based on a real picture, without any details about the original picture and naturally withouth any permission. Even if Carlos Latuff himself would upload this image to commons, it could be a false Authorship claim. Yuval Y § Chat § 21:27, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as a copyvio (derivative work). May be restored if the original picture is proved to be free. // Liftarn

Deleted, badly licensed derivative work. Patrícia ^msg 14:23, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
