If this template was added because you clicked "Mark for deletion" in the left menu (right when using Vector 2022 skin), please make sure that all necessary pages have been created. If they haven't been created after a few minutes, or if you added this template manually, you should complete these steps:
- 1 Visit the deletion requests subpage and place the following code:
{{
subst:
delete2|image=File:Felmy hellmuth.png|reason=This file (a ca. 1935 German photograph) was taken from the image database of the Bundesarchiv (German Federal Archive), see
[2], but it is not a part of the large batch which was given to Commons by the archive under a CC license and uploaded by bot in 2008.
The file was uploaded by a Commons user in 2018, claiming that the photo is in the public domain because its author is anonymous and it was published over 70 years ago. However, we do not know enough about the context, time and place of first publication to determine if this is actually true.
Per
COM:Germany#Anonymous and pseudonymous works, it is enough if the identity of the author has become known in some way that the photograph is not anonymous and a copyright term of 70 years pma applies. Also, a 1935 German photograph is very likely still protected in the US per the URAA. The file should therefore be deleted. It can be restored in 2056 with PD-old-assumed.}} ~~~~
- 2 Go to the deletion requests log and place the following code at the bottom:
{{subst:delete3|pg=File:Felmy hellmuth.png}}
- 3 Notify the item's uploader or the creator of the page by placing the following code on the user's talk page:
{{subst:idw|File:Felmy hellmuth.png|File:Felmy hellmuth.png}} ~~~~
- 4 Additionally, you may want to check for Wikimedia projects that use this item and then remove or, if possible, replace with a superior item.
For mass deletions: If you want to nominate several related images, please make a mass request by manually adding {{delete|reason=write reason|subpage=write name|year=2024|month=November|day=2}}
to each image page and then following the steps hereinbefore. (Help on mass requests.)
