 * The source is listed as "Was sent to me personally" and permisison as "Will be provided on request." This is the crest of a national fraternity organization, and I rather doubt that it is in fact in the public domain as the licensing states. DES (talk) 14:41, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was: Keep - likely published in the Harvard yearbook. If someone has further evidence otherwise, feel free to nominate again. Magog the Ogre (t • c) 18:33, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

 * There is a template which claims that the photograph was published before 1923, yet the only publication information is a book from 1993. If it was first published in 1993, then the copyright expires in 2048. Evidence of pre-1923 publication missing. Stefan2 (talk) 14:49, 17 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep. This picture is the 1919 school photo of Pedro Albizu Campus as a student at Harvard University first published by the university. It is pre-1923 and thus in the public domain. The photo has been reprinted in many books about Albizu not just in the book by Pedro A. Campos (the author, not the subject). Campos (the author), like other authors before him, used the picture because it was in the public domain already at the time that Gordon Publishers published Campos's book in 1993.

 * Keep. The most exhaustive biography of Albizu Campos is Pedro Albizu Campos: Las Llamas de la Aurora by Marisa Rosado (San Juan, PR: Ediciones Puerto, 5th ed., 2008). It is an impressive, 631-page work. Page 59 of that book shows this as his yearbook photo, along with the caption "Albizu as a student. Harvard archive." Albizu graduated from Harvard College in 1916, and from Harvard Law School in 1921. Whether this photo is from the 1916 Harvard yearbook, or from the 1921 Harvard yearbook, both of those dates are before 1923. On that basis, I believe this photo is in the public domain.

 * Keep - I have seen this type of discussion before. Many publications can and will publish images that are Public Domain especially if the images were pre-1923 and copyright laws did not apply. The image mentioned here can thus be published in a thousand books, because it is pre-1923, therefore PD and no one owns it's copyright, regardless of when the book in question was published. As an example Wikipedia is copyrighted, yet the images in Wikipedia are PD or licensed so that anyone can use them. Tony the Marine (talk) 18:51, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

 * This appears to be a screencap claimed as "own work". Note that all previous images uploaded by this editor have been blatant copyright violations (also all claimed as "own work"). Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 18:29, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
