Files in Category:2024 Lebanon pager explosions

[edit]

I doubt any of these files were taken by Mehr News reporters. Google Translate version of the website shows a collection of photos/videos with social media watermarks, telegram watermarks, from other news agencies etc. There is also extensive mention of reports from Reuters and Al Jazeera which makes me think even less these photos were taken by Mehr News Agency. Should be deleted as probable copyvio and per COM:PCP

My bad for not rechecking this as the uploader. My initial reverse image search at the time of upload returned no other results than Mehr's, though. Regardless,  Agreed with the nomination. -- Chainwit. (talk) 16:58, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Delete per nominator. While Mehr News Agency has an extensive collection of Iran-related photographs created by its staff, it is also known to re-publish works from foreign sources without proper credit.

Probably a bit off-topic, but maybe it's time to add Mehr News to Commons:Problematic sources? Ixfd64 (talk) 03:01, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
