These files were all uploaded by User:Albianmoonlight. The user in question has been behind a series of sockpuppets and meatpuppets at the English Wikipedia and several other language projects where these images have been spammed to whatever relevant articles there are (such as at w:es:Soledad because there's one person in the photograph). A list of sockpuppets is here. During the discussion of one particular photograph, it was discovered that these photographs belong to an individual named David Horvitz (see this page). Each photograph (except Usalroad.JPG) features the same man, which certainly makes the photographs less useful in articles. It is not clear if Albianmoonlight is Mr. Horvitz, if he owns these photographs and has actually alowed them to be released into the public domain, or if the Commons should allow Mr. Horvitz to use the site as a free online art gallery where he has a permanent exhibition.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 03:45, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oh dear, I thought it was another w:Travelling gnome prank, and it's all down to an ordinary copyvio. You ruined my day. Delete unless identity is confirmed. NVO (talk) 20:50, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Does the same issue also apply to uploads by User:Sfcamerawork or is it just the second round of uploads that matters? If Sfcamerawork's uploads have the same issue, them the cropped versions I prepared of several of that user's uploads will also need to be deleted. In any case, I certainly support deletion if these can't be confirmed as actually released by the photographer. Gavia immer (talk) 00:10, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Considering both users were discovered to be one in the same, then it most certainly does include those other uploads.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 00:22, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the confirmation; I've added that user's uploads and some crops I prepared from them to the nomination. N.B., this was done after NVO's comment above. Gavia immer (talk) 00:42, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Looks like funny business to me. --75.108.199.245 22:14, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete unless there is a confirmation of identity (though that would still give us another problem). The whole thing reminds me of the Tourist Guy meme from about ten years ago, as well as the gnome prank. Obviously a calculated campaign to spam this guy's picture into as many wikis as possible.

Delete Per above. --Yikrazuul (talk) 22:31, 30 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted. Per nom. and commnets above. Podzemnik (talk) 09:57, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
