JamesDukeStatueAndChapel
We have a non-free file for this. I noticed you restored c:File:JamesDukeStatueAndChapel1.jpg for Public Domain day. According to our info, it was sculpted in 1935 by American sculptor Charles Keck (1875-1951) and it's standing in front of Duke University in the US. PD-old-70 applies now, but does that also apply to the US in this case?
Also pinging uploader Bluedog423 and Fastily who deleted the Commons file in 2012. Clindberg, I seem to remember you saying once that the standard for "publishing" is higher for works published less than 95 years ago. c:Commons:Publication#United States would suggest that a public display only counts as publishing if it's public enough ("a place open to the public or at any place where a substantial number of persons outside of a normal circle of a family and its social acquaintances is gathered") which does apply here. If that's right, following c:Commons:Hirtle chart and assuming it was put on display around 1935, this work is either {{PD-US-no notice}}/{{PD-US-not renewed}} (so why did we wait for public domain day? c:Category:Undelete in 2021 was deleted so we can't search the page history for a possible rationale) or it's protected by copyright until at least 2031. PD-old-70 seems relevant only for some works published after 1978.
If it is PD I need to file a WP:REFUND request for w:File:JamesDukeStatueAndChapel.jpg as several revisions by NPatrick6 exist which possibly differ in metadata/compression/etc. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 10:33, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
- @Alexis Jazz: There is indeed quite a strong possibility that the statue doesn't have a copyright notice or that the copyright wasn't renewed. This was not investigated. Thanks, Yann (talk) 12:48, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
- Per the SIRIS entry there is no copyright notice. So, PD since 1935 it looks like. See Commons:Public art and copyrights in the US. Should not have been deleted, though evidence was not provided for admin. Carl Lindberg (talk) 01:35, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
