This media file has been nominated for deletion since 17 May 2024.

To discuss it, please visit the nomination page.

Do not remove this tag until the deletion nomination is closed.

Reason for the nomination:

Per discussion on w:Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Weather#Copyright of the famous 1997 "Dead Man Walking" image?. It appears this image is not in the publication of the NWS linked in the source. Its upload hinged on the assumption that this image is public domain because other images by the same photographer had sent images that were featured in the NWS publication. Earliest known publishing of this image is in a Time magazine article. Contrary to the template used on the page upon upload, Scott Beckwith was working under Jarrell Farm Supply and not the National Weather Service, and this image was thus not created by an official of the United States government under the course of their official duties.

If this template was added because you clicked "Mark for deletion" in the left menu (right when using Vector 2022 skin), please make sure that all necessary pages have been created. If they haven't been created after a few minutes, or if you added this template manually, you should complete these steps:

Licensing

This image is in the public domain because it was stored on the web servers of the U.S. National Weather Service. NWS-created images are automatically public domain in the U.S. since the NWS is a part of the U.S. government. However, the NWS sites also host non-NWS images which have been submitted by individuals: these are generally shown as "Courtesy of ...". Such images have explicitly been released to the public domain by the copyright owner as part of the upload process.

As stated at https://www.weather.gov/fsd/disclaimer: "By submitting images, you understand that your image is being released into the public domain. This means that your photo or video may be downloaded, copied, and used by others."

Thus, all^* images on NWS servers are public domain (including "Courtesy of ..." and “Photo by ...” images) unless specifically stated otherwise through a copyright (©) watermark.

*A deletion discussion in November 2023 ruled that Getty Images on the web servers of NWS, are to be considered copyrighted, even without a copyright (©) watermark and are the sole exception to this rule.
