 * This image is (incorrectly) dated to 1950, one year after the subject died, and has a non-free use rationale as it cannot be clearly dated. The article now contains a second image, dated to 1935 and stated to be public domain by the State Library of South Australia - and thus clearly within the period in which images that are public domain in Australia are also public domain in the US (per Template:PD-Australia). As such, the non-free use rationale that this image was the only available image no longer applies. The Drover&#39;s Wife (talk) 05:03, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Note: This image is currently tagged as non-free. If there is a dispute with the rationale, please tag the image with dfu or list it at WP:FFD. AnomieBOT ⚡ 06:03, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
 * When uploading this image, I put some effort into looking for a photo that's free if possible, while reliably sourced and representing the subject; this is the best I had found. I see a free image is now available, so feel free to delete this one – MirancheT C 18:01, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

This file was absolutely created by and published by Novel Concepts, and uploaded by Metalomer, Metalomer being a trademark of Novel Concepts, as seen on the bottom of every web page. You think it is a coincidence that every page at our website has similar CFD animations? We rotate the animations from time to time, and it's currently not on our website. If it make you feel better about yourself, we will rotate the image onto one of our pages. Metalomer —Preceding undated comment added 16:17, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
 * It says Previously published: http://www.novelconceptsinc.com but I can't find any evidence that the website either belongs to the uploader or that it contains freely licensed ontent. Stefan2 (talk) 14:59, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
 * If User:Metalomer is associated with the website in one way or another, then User:Metalomer needs to provide evidence of this per WP:IOWN. --Stefan2 (talk) 15:00, 28 January 2016 (UTC)


 * If the image was previously published by Novel Concepts then it's copyrighted by them (clearly stated on their website). So the question is not whether they published it, but whether the uploader has the authority to release it under a free license. BTW, if "Metalomer" is a trademark of Novel Concepts then it probably is not an appropriate user name (per WP:PRODNAME). Lambtron (talk) 15:06, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Please note that CFD A19 LED Light Bulb.gif has the same licensing problem. Lambtron (talk) 15:11, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
 * As an aside, if this image is kept it would be very helpful if (1) it is moved to Commons, and (2) its file size is reduced (e.g., by removing frames). In its current form (4.27 MB, 75 frames) the WP server seems unable to resize it to some sizes, possibly due to timeouts. Lambtron (talk) 15:24, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

Users Metalomer, Heatlord, and Isofilm all claim or imply that they are the creators of uploaded images copyrighted by Novel Concepts (NCI). However, none of these users have proven that they are authorized to release the images under a free license. Consequently, in addition to the image cited above by Stefan2, the following images are also possibly unfree: Although it doesn't affect the free status of these images, it's disconcerting that Metalomer, Heatlord and Isofilm have such obvious WP:COI -- they all work for NCI, have user names that are NCI trademarks, link to NCI from every uploaded image, and have classic WP:SPA edit histories.

 * On the other hand, if these users are employees or otherwise COI editors, they may be able to secure permission - it would be a pity to lose these GIFs. Pinging, and  to see if they can request permission in accordance with Requesting copyright permission. I agree that otherwise, the copyright status is iffy enough to warrant non-free status or deletion. Note that two or three of the files in question are on Commons and will need a deletion request.Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 13:03, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Also pinging since s/he's the uploader of File:CFD LED Free convection heat sink design.gif which appears to be identical to one of the files here.Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 13:09, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
 * It is identical. See WP:VPT — CFD LED Free Convection Heat Sink Design.gif was displaying wrongly, so I downloaded it and immediately reuploaded it under a slightly different name.  It shouldn't be F1 speedy deleted until the VPT discussion is done, but of course it should go if this discussion concludes before the discussion at VPT.  Nyttend (talk) 13:16, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

 * I've deleted File:CFD LED Free convection heat sink design.gif as G7; as far as I can tell, it's no longer needed for the technical thing. Nyttend (talk) 04:30, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

 * I'm mixed on this one, as I am willing to assume good faith, but I also do not see any backlink to the image on Weddie Gilmore's site, nor can I find anything on their page. The image is all over Google, but that does not tell me anything, so I wanted to put it out here and see what others though, as I would be willing to place a call to their office to clarify this.
