if according to w:Unsinkable Sam the cat died in 1955 it is not sure that the image according to the license is older than 70 years. Wuselig (talk) 21:13, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
- The license tag says 50, not 70 :) --Brandmeister (talk) 00:49, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
- Take a click thru the different language versions. In the German vesion it says 70 years. Also in some other versions. Well, I dont want that the image is "Lost in translation". Perhaps the template should be checked first.--Wuselig (talk) 08:45, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
- The German version should be corrected: the Berne Convention link in the tag says "fifty years". Brandmeister (talk) 16:12, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
- After reading this I would say the licence shouldn't have been used at all for an image taken in the UK and that the image cannot be used in any wikpedia versions where a longer term of protection applies.--Wuselig (talk) 18:38, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
- There's no indication that the image was made in the UK. The fact that the image can't be used in wikpedias where a longer term of protection applies is not a valid reason for deletion. Brandmeister (talk) 22:50, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
- If it was made anywhere else but the UK, it isn't Sam. But that I concede is no reason for deletion. ;-) Let's wait for a third opinion. As a confessing inclusionist I won't break my heart if the image stays and nobody objects to the license. --Wuselig (talk) 00:02, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
- I'd be happy too :) Brandmeister (talk) 11:20, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

Deleted: Well, folks, I don't understand the question here. Unless this is somehow a German photo that survived the war -- and remember that the cat was not notable while he was German -- only after he became a Brit then it must be a UK photo.
While the rule is complicated, it is basically 70 years, which is at least 2014 and probably more like 2020. Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 17:05, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
