This media file has been nominated for deletion since 2 February 2024.
To discuss it, please visit the nomination page.

Do not remove this tag until the deletion nomination is closed.

Reason for the nomination:
Based on information at the Village pump discussion, I would believe that this image is not freely licensed. I encourage a read through there first. The Flickr user Peter Hamer is unlikely to be the photographer or rights holder. We have evidence that the most likely copyright holder would be Lucent Technologies or Bell Laboratories. The tag was recently changed to {{PD-US-no notice}} "based on discussion", but we have no evidence of such. All examples of publication we have are from the 1990s and onward, in the Scientific American and online - which are all credited to Lucent/Bell. Just because it was taken in the 1970s does not automatically make it public domain. We need to see a publicity/press photo scan or a magazine without any form of notice for the template to be valid. If someone could locate earlier examples of publication it would help with a more definitive answer. It is very possible Peter Hamer was the original photographer, but there isn't a strong case to support this. As of now, I would be inclined to delete this under COM:PRP.
