This is certainly not an "own work" of the uploader, as claimed. There are some photos from the 1920s, and I doubt the uploader was even born back then.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  00:00, 12 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Some of the individual images are probably in public domain, but we need to know the copyright status of each one. Ixfd64 (talk) 00:39, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Can it be reuploaded under fair use or something similar? It was a great image. Spafky (talk) 07:26, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

Fails WP:NFCC. There are currently two Packard Bell PB286LP laptops on eBay (US) for $200-250. Buy one of those, ask the sellers to mail their photos (which they already took for the auction anyway) to WP:VRT, find another enthusiast and ask them to take a picture, find a museum that has it on display and snap a pic there, etc etc. The rationale given for NFCC#1 ("The only other alternative images at this point in time are also copyrighted works, from collectors and sellers.") is imho not valid. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 10:43, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep I'm not above doing that, I've taken some photos of computers in my collection for Wikipedia, but $200+ is simply out of my price range.  As someone with a lot of experience dealing with eBay sellers, any private message that doesn't invoke a dollar sign somewhere is usually ignored.  The only two people on vcfed.org who have it haven't logged into the site in quite a while.  Can't find any museum who has one in their inventory.
 * I'll try improving the rationale, and I pinky promise if I somehow happen to find one of these in the wild I'll snap a CC picture, but I don't think a grainy black-and-white photo is draining Acer's bottom line. DigitalIceAge (talk) 15:41, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Nice work with the photos. I like how you blanked the background, I sometimes do that too, looks nice and clean. The machine costing $200+ isn't sufficient to satisfy NFCC#1. It isn't a dead person or an object that doesn't exist anymore. The photo in question could be PD-US-1989 if it was originally published in the US by Packard Bell before March 1989 without a copyright notice or registration, for example in a magazine or newspaper ad or leaflet. The January 1989 InfoWorld review doesn't count because that's not published by Packard Bell. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 18:16, 12 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete As evidenced from the Ebay search, copies of the item apparently still exist. The image therefore fails WP:NFC §1. --Stefan2 (talk) 17:01, 20 November 2021 (UTC)

Derivative work of stamps. I'm confident they are covered by PD-India but couldn't find the exact year these were issued. Ixfd64 (talk) 20:09, 12 November 2021 (UTC)


 * I found a source indicating that this stamp was in circulation as of 1947. So PD-India would definitely apply here. But because the U.S. does not use the rule of the shorter term, this would still be copyrighted in the U.S. unless we can show that they were published before that year.

Derivative work of design on clothing. Not sure if it qualifies for fair use. Ixfd64 (talk) 20:10, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete it is copyrighted, and not a valid fair use, as we have many other images of uncopyrighted logos on that page. This isn't the logo of Capital City Service, so not a valid fair use. <b style="color:#0033ab">Joseph</b><b style="color:#000000">2302</b> (talk) 10:45, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

Seems to be a scan from a textbook that is presumably copyrighted. Image is not used anywhere. Ixfd64 (talk) 20:16, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
