Commons:Deletion requests/Image:Charley patton.jpg
The first image is an excerpt of the only known photo of Charley Patton, made 1929 by an anonymous photographer and published completely in 2001 the first time (has been deleted before here at least once). Today the copyright is owned by John Tefteller of http://www.bluesimages.com. It is an obvious copyvio, so get rid of it soon. The picture has been uploaded with the, ehm, insufficient explanation This is the only photo of Charley Patton. Nobody is known to claim copyrights to this photo. Copyrights are not given anywhere (eg. in cd cover booklets) where the photo is used..
As the Patton-picture, both other pictures have been done by anonymous photographers and have been done between approx. 1925 and 1930. The submitter in all cases is User:Rick Dangerous, the declarations are similar insufficient as before: Copyrights of this old photo are not controlled by anyone. Copyrights are not mentioned in any CD that use this photo as a cover etc. I've also asked blindwillie.com and they did not claim copyrights nor knew that somebody does. and This is the only photo of Blind Lemon. According to some sources there is another photo but that i've never seen. Nobody claims copyrights to this photo. Copyrights are not given anywhere (eg. in cd cover booklets) where photo is used.. Please stop that man. Denisoliver 15:50, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
- The photo should be deleted. The copyright owner has explicitely stated (in private e-mail) that the usage in wikipedia is not allowed. --Rick Dangerous 09:45, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
