File:Larry Connor Portrait.png[edit]

File:Larry Connor Portrait.png (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by GemCityFlyer (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log). 

Likely not own work. File information says the photo was taken in 2015, but this University of Dayton article has a version of it in 2013. Curiously, the Huffington Post has republished this photo, crediting Connor as providing the photo, but the exif metadata shows that it came from enwiki. The image on the UD article has "Larry lecture flyer 2013.indd" as the XMP:Title attribute.

The uploader also uploaded multiple other photos to Commons as their own work, which, if true, would mean they were with Connor for more than 20 years taking photos with him hiking up Mt. Kilimanjaro, with him in the sky, of him racing in 2001, and is named Brad Feinknopf. SWinxy (talk) 02:44, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

File:PBS logo.svg[edit]

File:PBS logo.svg (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by Jonteemil (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log). 

This non-free logo's use at List of United States over-the-air television networks fails both WP:NFCC#1 (no free equivalent) and WP:NFCC#8 (contextual significance), as PBS can adequately be represented with c:File:PBS textlogo.svg (a crop of the logo without the P-Head) and the P-Head is not the subject of critical commentary in the article.

Your rationale is pretty solid. Indeed, we could replace it with a text-only logo and the article would not be less useful. The Quirky Kitty (talk) 05:22, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
