Summary
This media file has been nominated for deletion since 16 October 2024.
To discuss it, please visit the nomination page.

Do not remove this tag until the deletion nomination is closed.

Reason for the nomination:

The uploader sourced all four of these images from "May 27, 1997 Tornado Outbreak, Texas's Last E/F-5 Tornado: Then vs Now", a conference paper presented by NWS employees Jason Runyen and Jennifer Dunn to the Texas Emergency Management Conference June 1, 2022. (archived here)

The uploader claimed that all four of these images are free of copyright because they were taken by a US federal government employee in the course of their duties. However:

  • there is no such claim in the source
  • none of these people were employees of the US federal government when they took these photos:
    • Scott Beckwith was a manager of a farm supply store ("Tornado sweeps Central Texas Town", The Paris News, May 28, 1997, page 1)
    • Troy Kimmel is a broadcast meteorologist and academic
    • Tim Marshall is a meteorologist and civil engineer
Without any evidence to the contrary, these files all appear to be the property of their respective creators and we cannot keep them here.
