Copyright status of File:V S Sampath.jpg
You asked about File:V S Sampath.jpg in the IRC help channel and said it has been released into the public domain. I see no indication that's correct. The website you took the image from explicitly bears a copyright tag, not a note that its content is in the public domain. "Published on the internet" is not the same as "in the public domain".

 * Thanks for getting back to me. I looked it up, and I doung this: http://eci.nic.in/delim/Copyright/Copyright.asp - Does wikipedia's usage not fall under "reference" ? LogicDictates   (talk)   •   (Contrib)  20:29, 14 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Possibly, but that's not enough. Wikipedia requires images (with some exceptions that don't apply here) to be released under a free license that allows everybody to re-use and modify them for any purpose, including commercial purposes. This is particularly true of the Wikimedia Commons, where you uploaded the image; they don't take non-free images under any circumstances. Even if that image's license explicitly allowed use on Wikipedia but forbade commercial re-use or modification, we'd consider it "not free enough" and would not be able to use it. Huon (talk) 20:40, 14 January 2015 (UTC)


 * OK, In that case, please delete it or (if possible & allowed), please move it to wikipedia - I do not know how to do either. Thanks for your time and effort. LogicDictates   (talk)   •   (Contrib) 


 * As I said, the exceptions that allow some non-free images on Wikipedia don't apply here. For living persons like Sampath we assume that a freely licensed image could be produced; thus the first of the non-free content criteria prohibits use of a non-free image of him on Wikipedia. It's already tagged for deletion and will be deleted in a couple of days. Huon (talk) 21:29, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
