Commons is a freely licensed media file repository. You can help.
This media file has been nominated for deletion since 27 May 2026. To discuss it, please visit the nomination page.
Do not remove this tag until the deletion nomination is closed. Reason for the nomination: This file may have an incorrect public domain claim and should be reviewed. The image is claimed to be an Egyptian government work from 1976 and is licensed using the Egyptian public domain template. However, the source page provided does not clearly state that the image is in the public domain or released by the Egyptian Government. In fact, the source website (china.org.cn) displays an “All Rights Reserved” notice. More importantly, the licensing rationale appears questionable under URAA considerations. The Commons template itself states that anonymous or institutional Egyptian works must have been published prior to 1976 in order to be public domain in the United States. The source page explicitly identifies the event as taking place in April 1976, which may fall outside the required threshold. It is therefore unclear whether the work had already entered the public domain in Egypt by January 1, 1996, the relevant URAA restoration date. If the copyright was still active in Egypt at that time, U.S. copyright may have been restored under the URAA, making the file ineligible for Commons. Additionally, the actual copyright holder and authorship remain uncertain. The uploader attributes the work broadly to the “Egyptian Government”, but no evidence is provided that the original photograph was officially released into the public domain. Given the uncertainty surrounding the copyright status, publication date threshold, and URAA eligibility, a community review would be appropriate.

This Egyptian work is currently in the public domain in Egypt because its copyright has expired pursuant to the provisions of Intellectual Property Law 82 of 2002. The 2002 law, which repealed Copyright Law 354 of 1954, was not retroactive, meaning that works which had fallen into the public domain in 2002 remain out-of-copyright in Egypt (details).
In order to be hosted on Commons, all works must be in the public domain in the United States as well as in their source country. Egyptian works that are currently in the public domain in the United States are those whose copyright had expired in Egypt on the U.S. date of restoration (January 1, 1996) pursuant to the provisions of the old 1954 law which was in effect at the time.
