Riro Kāinga

 * Nominator(s): KAVEBEAR (talk) 04:03, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

This article is about the last king of Rapa Nui or Easter Island. He was a key figure in the native resistance to Chilean rule and was mysteriously killed while on the Chilean mainland. Figure of importance to modern Rapa Nui identity. KAVEBEAR (talk) 04:03, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

Image review
 * File:Angata,_The_Prophetess,_The_Mystery_of_Easter_Island,_published_1919.jpg: needs a US PD tag, and if the author is unknown how do we know they died over 70 years ago? Nikkimaria (talk) 18:53, 14 July 2018 (UTC)
 * File:Riro_Kainga_Bust.jpg: several concerns about this. First off, what is believed to be non-free: the bust, photo, or both? Chile has freedom of panorama, so unless the bust has been removed it should be possible to get a free image. Second, the historic images tag is intended for cases where the image itself, not just what is pictured, is considered historically significant - eg. Tank Man
 * It may have to be removed. It could be possible to get a free image but nothing short of asking a person to visit Easter Island, taking a photo and releasing the copyright to that image. KAVEBEAR (talk) 21:23, 14 July 2018 (UTC)


 * The image was found in a public domain book published in 1919. The author of the book died in 1935. KAVEBEAR (talk) 21:23, 14 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Is there any credit on the image in the book? Nikkimaria (talk) 01:19, 15 July 2018 (UTC)
 * No, all the images were part of the Mana Expedition to Easter Island led by Katherine Routledge and William Scoresby Routledge. The photographer would have been Routledge or an unnamed photographer commissioned or employed by them. KAVEBEAR (talk) 02:18, 15 July 2018 (UTC)

Coord note -- over three weeks old and this review has barely started so I'm going to archive it; given the lack of commentary I'm happy to waive the regulation two-week waiting period before a re-nom. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 09:24, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
