The deleter (remover) wrote itself "The source of https://twitter.com/dume_reginald/status/1256953599902527496 has higher quality. The uploader did not take this photo with an iOS device in 1936." Of course nobody took any photos "with an iOS device in 1936". At least the subjext in question can still be seen via that URL. To me the photo looks authentical - I don't have any reason to suspect this could be a fake picture, done with photoshop or "an iOS device" in the 2020s, which artificially was made to "look like a photo of the 1930s". Maybe an investigator could see any suspicious hints, I can't see any! Just the fact that the same picture (I believe the deleter's statement) could be anywhere else in a higher resolution than in Wikimedia Commons is no proof that the example in Wikimedia Commons must necessarily be a "faked file". And if the file really is from the 1930s, is an original one, the chances that by now it's in the public domain are quite high. I would appreciate a more detailed explanation, why the deleter is so sure the file must be a copyright violation - being a quite active wikipedian, I'd like to get some expertship myself how to detect that a seemingly unsuspicious old photo is a bad, fake document. A regular deletion leaves room for those explanations, but via a speedy deletion of course in a moment everything is gone. That could almost remind of the effective Ministry of Truth workers in Orwell's 1984... Don't misunderstand me: I don't want to accuse the deleter Túrelio to be a "fact destroyer"! I just don't understand the process. Can you explain? How do you see "this photo" was made "with an iOS device", and was makes you so certain it has to be speedily deleted? S.y.
