Do not remove this tag until the deletion nomination is closed.
Reason for the nomination:
Based on the discussion which took place at the Village Pump "Do_Newspaper_Staff_photos_qualify_for_{{PD-US-1978-1989}}?", these lack evidence of being 'published without notice'. The photos appear to be internal staff photos rather than a typical press or wire photo that was more widely distributed. They look to have been taken by paper staff for use by the Daily News itself only. Publication of the photos would have occurred when the newspaper copies they were included in were published to the broader public. By the mid-80s, it was common for newspapers to feature a notice in their mastheads. If the photos were syndicated or distributed out to other papers, that could constitute publication but there is no evidence of such. The omission of a copyright notice on internal news photos does not by itself demonstrate publication without notice. Delete per COM:PRP.
