I have nothing of substance to add to my original point: I know almost nothing about the technical aspects of digital photography, but a little common sense told me that this image is worth keeping, and I tersely explained why — hoping it should be enough to at least delay the outcome of the DR till someone knowledgeable about the matter could weight in. I’m however shocked that files can be deleted on a whim when there is no time or patience/willingness to explore the matter further.
Let me re-stress: This is not about a technical imperfection on the part of the photographer, but rather an unavoidable artifact caused by the nature of the recording device. As such, it should be documentable in Commons with a broad range of examples, and yet, what appeared to be the single recognized example so far, was thoughtlessly deleted under pretenses of «hurr, hurr, here’s another blurry shot», completed with patronizing tut-tuting.
Some links that might give context on this phenomenon to those more knowledgeable and/or patient than those involved in the matter so far:

- Meanwhile, while scouring the Commons for other documented cases of this, I come across with File:Black hole sun.jpg, which is either a duplicate of the deleted file or a very similar shot (I don’t remember the details of the deleted photo). -- Tuválkin ✉ 01:05, 1 September 2013 (UTC)
- These are 2 frames taken at the same time/place. The deleted one has the artifact more centered. I haven't got the time to look into this right now, but if this is a widely experienced phenomenon common to digital cameras, I would support it being restored. INeverCry 03:44, 6 September 2013 (UTC)

This is a 1950 stamps and according to The Indian Copyright Act, 1957 (Chapter V Section 25), Anonymous works, photographs, cinematographic works, sound recordings, government works, and works of corporate authorship or of international organizations enter the public domain 60 years after the date on which they were first published, counted from the beginning of the following calendar year (ie. as of 2013, works published prior to 1 January 1953 are considered public domain). The person who nominated this stamp for deletion, and the mod who deleted it should have at least read its license and understood it before deletion.--PremKudvaTalk 11:03, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
{{PD-India}}
- Right, but if it was still under copyright in India in 1996 (the URAA date mentioned in the deletion request), its U.S. copyright got restored for a term of 95 years from publication. Commons policy is "public domain in the country of origin and the U.S.". The above tag is just the first half of that; the DR was about the second half. So, the question is what would make it PD in the US. If this was a privately-owned copyright, it should remained deleted. For UK government works, they have said that the crown copyright expiration is considered effective worldwide, a sort of form of PD-author, but I'm not sure that other governments have said the same. But if this was a government-owned copyright, there might be some argument that it be treated similarly. But, I'm not sure how much support that idea has outside of Crown Copyright type works (although the "government works" portion of India's law is directly inherited from the UK's Crown Copyright).

The image was fine and was not harming anyone. As an Aaliyah fan ...I know what we want to see as her main image. Thank You --Datyger (talk) 21:56, 6 September 2013 (UTC) Datyger
Oppose The image is from Tumblr and therefore probably not your own work, as you claimed. There is no reason to believe that it is freely licensed. Unfortunately, what you want to see and what the law allows us to use are often different things. . Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 10:57, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

For some reason I was not notified of the discussion which took place here, despite being the page creator of most of those, and hence wasn't able to respond to the deletion request. The national anthem of the PRC falls under Article 5 of the Copyright Law of the People's Republic of China, which gives an exemption. -- 李博杰 | —Talk contribs 15:37, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
