Support - I'm not really a fan of pure white backgrounds, but otherwise this is clearly top-notch. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:07, 5 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Author reads User:Leezagibbons and source reads "Own work", indicating this is a self-portrait (and perhaps uploaded as self-promotion, which would not be in line with commons policies). However the metadata ebedded in the image file mentions one "Ron Derhacopian" as photographer and contains a copyright statement mentioning "Ron Derhacopian Photography, Inc." as owner of the rights. This renders authorship and copyright status unclear and could mean that the file will be deleted from commons. I don't think anyone whould like to have a possible copyvio featured on wikipedia's main page. I would suggest ending the nomination now, sorting things out and (if the file can stay) updating the file information page and/or the embedded metadata. Then the file could of course be re-nominated. Jahoe (talk) 04:14, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This file has been permitted by the Commons OTRS team for use. The ticket, located here, is available for those with OTRS account. Also, in the metadata, since this was modified (I don't know if by Leezagibbons, "some details may not fully reflect the modified file." Mediran (t • c) 09:51, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've responded to you here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/File:LeezaSCShoot4Small.jpg

I don't really need the file deleted and it's fine with me to have it on the main page, but not until it's copyright status is clarified and the conflicting information on the file's info page corrected. Unfortunately, filing a deletion request is the only way to challenge a file with unclear copyright status on commons. Jahoe (talk) 14:17, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. May I suggest a more thorough status check as part of the nomination procedure in the future? It would have been easier if that had been done first. Jahoe (talk) 14:26, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Response at the deletion page. Thanks. Mediran (t • c) 14:29, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
