•  Keep: A clear case of {{grandfathered old file}}. -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 13:00, 28 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Besides, most maps of in this style are tagged as {{Pd-user|RTCNCA}}. -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 13:24, 28 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• {{Grandfathered}} cannot be used here, because there is no permission statement at the file description page. Jcb (talk) 14:52, 28 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• <personal attack removed> But for anyone honestly interested in curating a useful repository of media files, the lineage of this file is obvious. If you cannot be arsed to do something useful about this file, at least stop harassing me with bogus DRs and give me time to document its borked file history. Thank you. -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 14:55, 28 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

•  Comment I just made this edit; usually I’dd add these assumed-templates along with the addition of {{Information}}, but I forgot. Then I hesitated about editing the file page at all, as there is a pending DR, but some boldness might be help more than hinder. (Also, @RTCNCA: and @Rfc1394: ) -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 16:13, 28 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Editting a file description page during a DR is not a problem per se, many problems with files are resolved during DRs. But I disagree with the assumption that this would be own work, it's in fact highly unlikely that this would be own work. DW at best. Jcb (talk) 16:26, 28 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Why would it be unlikely to be the uploader's own work? Rfc1394/RTCNCA has a long history of working with area code maps. In another file (File:Area code 808.png), the source of the underlying map is given as the US Census. clpo13_(talk) 17:46, 28 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
      • Actually you are answering your own question. Of course these maps are not own work. The other file is properly sourced to a PD source map, this file isn't. Jcb (talk) 20:23, 28 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Kept: file uploaded in 2006 when current template was not in use. Moreover, this map has no proprietary info. As per COM:DW: "The factual information, such as boundary lines and locations of landmarks, is supposedly unprotected.". P 1 9 9  ✉ 17:02, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
