'''Kept:''' UNless there is a good reason to do so -- a USA person is the subject, for example -- we do not investigate whether it was published in the USA. In any event, there does not appear to be any notice, so even if it had been published in the USA it would be PD. . Jim . . . .

I would like a second opinion on this please. Firstly, it looks like it was obtained from an internet forum, so stating the author is "unknown" is not the same as simply not knowing who the author is. Secondly, just because this version of the photo does not contain a copyright notice doesn't mean that a US version didn't. [http://copyright.cornell.edu/resources/publicdomain.cfm The public domain guidelines] state nothing about the subject of the photo being of US origin being a criteria. Is that how Commons approaches copyright? You can upload something off a foreign internet forum, and if you don't know anything about its authorship or US publication history you can pass it off as public domain? Can someone take another look at this one please, and '''attach the appropriate licensing''' if it is eligible to be hosted on Commons, because either way it still lacks a US copyright notice.
