Imarkinav (talk · contributions · Statistics · Recent activity · block log · User rights log · uploads · Global account information) (assign permissions)

This user nominated lots of pictures of w:en:Aigel (band) for deletion with invalid reasoning and also false claims of own authorship (like for example here or here: "This file was uploaded without permission from the copyright holder. I am the author of this work and request its removal") Kindly request a sysop to look through Special:Contributions/Imarkinav and to speedy-close the DR's and to block the user for faked license claims and obvious RfD misuse. Thanks --A.Savin 15:53, 7 October 2025 (UTC)

@A.Savin: Could you please notify this user about your report. Thanks, Yann (talk) 16:00, 7 October 2025 (UTC)

Done. --A.Savin 16:03, 7 October 2025 (UTC)

Photographer A. Savin did not have permission to publish these images and was not accredited for this event.

Therefore, all photos credited to A. Savin should be removed, as they do not meet the publication requirements and were uploaded without proper authorization. Imarkinav (talk) 16:04, 7 October 2025 (UTC)

I do not claim copyright ownership of the photos.

Photographer A. Savin is indeed the author of these images.

However, I represent the music group Aigel, and I am submitting this request on behalf of the band.

The photographer was not accredited to shoot the concert and did not have permission from the organizers or from the band to take or publish these photos.

The publication of these images was therefore unauthorized, and the group did not consent to their public use or distribution.

For that reason, we respectfully ask for all photos credited to A. Savin in the mentioned category to be removed from Wikimedia Commons. Imarkinav (talk) 16:08, 7 October 2025 (UTC)

@Imarkinav: Hi, Usually no permission is needed for taking pictures during a public performance. Anyway, this is not a valid reason for deletion. Yann (talk) 16:12, 7 October 2025 (UTC)

Dear Wikimedia Commons team,

I would like to respectfully request the deletion of the set of photographs in which I appear, taken during a public performance.

Although the event was public, I do not consent to the publication of these specific photos on Wikimedia Commons. The images were taken and published in violation of our group’s internal rules regarding photography and media use. In addition, I believe that this collection violates my personal right to control the use of my image.

I have already received a response that no permission is needed for taking pictures at public events. However, I disagree with that position in this particular case. These photos were not authorized for distribution, and their continued publication causes me personal discomfort.

I kindly ask that you review this request and remove the images from Wikimedia Commons.

Please confirm receipt of this message and let me know if you require any additional information to process my request.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Imarkinav (talk) 16:22, 7 October 2025 (UTC)

@Imarkinav: Anyway, you are not the copyright holder of these pictures, so I closed all requests. Please see suggestion by GPSLeo below. Thanks, Yann (talk) 16:29, 7 October 2025 (UTC)

If you want to make a formal removal request please use the designated agent contact. GPSLeo (talk) 16:18, 7 October 2025 (UTC)
