COM:LL, these all contain artworks lifted from different stock sites such as Shutterstock and other places, no evidence uploader can relicense such works under a free license.

@BevinKacon: How do you know these files contain artwork from stock sites? —Granger (talk  · contribs) 23:27, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The few that provide the sources say so, File:Record Breaking Tornadoes.jpg, File:Yucca Mountain - Nuclear Waste Repository.jpg.--BevinKacon (talk) 23:42, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I am not an expert at all but the File:Masdar City infographic.jpg says in the file notes: "It was reviewed on 13 January 2019 by FlickreviewR 2 and was confirmed to be licensed under the terms of the cc-by-2.0." Is that not applicable? 100.15.191.97 02:21, 14 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I was not aware of this. I checked and indeed the backgound image of Record Breaking Tornadoes is from Shutterstock. For the Yucca Mountain - Nuclear Waste Repository, only the lower 10% part of the image is from Shutterstock, so the rest (and usefull part) of the image can be kept. How should this be done? Via CropTool? It is not because some have background images from Shutterstock that all of them should be removed. Most of them don't have background images. --PJ Geest (talk) 09:40, 14 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Here an overview:
1) I have uploaded a new version of following files to make sure there is no violation of license (old version of file should be removed):

2) Can be removed (clear licence violation):

3) Unclear if there is a license violation (where the images come from), so up to discussion if these files should be removed or not:

We don't know which elements are original or stolen, only the cropped File:Yucca Mountain - Nuclear Waste Repository.jpg can have Template:PD-textlogo tag and be safely kept.--BevinKacon (talk) 14:28, 15 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I removed more art work from the images and I think more of them (if not all) of category 1 do not reach the threshold of originality --PJ Geest (talk) 16:17, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Kept: Kept batch 1, batch 2 already deleted, deleted batch 3. --Gbawden (talk) 09:11, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
