  • Oppose Questionable licensing. I'm not ready to accept that any pre-1977 (for no notice) or pre-1963 (for no renewal) promotional photo is PD, even one without a real source, without any proof of publication without a copyright marking, and without proof of non-renewal.

    • I feel that this oppose is somewhat of a slippery slope. There was considerably less widespread knowledge about copyright when this was originally distributed. There is very little chance that a still such as this was ever given a copyright marking. To find proof that a marking was never applied is all but impossible, making such works (and there are many) unfeaturable. I feel that the extremely thorough breakdown on the file description is more than enough rationale for considering these works public domain. As for finding out whether there is copyright renewal on file, take a stab at this 65MB zip file of records. Jujutacular talk 05:19, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support – (assuming licensing is ok) Meets FPC criteria in my view. Sasata (talk) 17:49, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - assuming copyright issues do not exist; the quality is excellent. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Clegs (talkcontribs) 11:36, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
