File:A group of miners pose for a photo (14057634216).jpg

Old photograph, possibly public domain but more information on the photograph would be needed. Source is a dead link so I cannot check that for more context. Abzeronow (talk) 04:24, 14 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete That's the "simpleinsomnia" Flickr account that just uploads old-looking photos without any additional information. At least it did before it shut down. We've dealt with it many, many times before. Just before I read this, I tagged nearly 200 such photos as no-source. I've spot checked quite a few with Google Lens and TinEye and the only matches I can find are those that cite back to that Flickr account. If you really want me to convert the {{No source since}} tags to a proper deletion request I can do that.

Also, for what it's worth, the uploader of all these is a sockpuppet who was blocked on their other account for uploaded non-free media after being warned. Phillipedison1891 (talk) 04:33, 14 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment @RAN: I see you've provided a couple of possible sources for this photo. The first just cites back to the "simpleinsomnia" Flickr account as a source, with no further information. The second provides no information whatsoever. Neither source provides the kind of date, author, or country of origin information that would be helpful to determine public domain status. That's why I tagged it as no-source initially. If there's something I'm missing, please let me know. Phillipedison1891 (talk) 02:40, 15 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
