Whislst starting a deletion request for Ali_Mujtaba_gilgit_00789_03.jpg I noticed that the reasoning for this applies to all files in this category, which should therefore ALL deleted. Uploader inserted CC-0 alas the metadata of all files contains: “[email protected] This photo is copyrighted to Ali Mujtaba ([email protected]) and hence an intellectual property of the said author. Any attempt to use, copy, modify, for personal and/or commercial means is strictly prohobited. No permission shall be given to anyone to utilize this photo. Failing to comply with the terms and condistions setforth shall invite legal consequences to be dealt with according to the law.” Zenwort (talk) 08:24, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, the category is better described as "Photographs of Gilgit Valley by Ali Mujtaba". I propose to delete the whole category, and move content to "Gilgit Valley". If that cat is deemed overpopulated, it should be broken down by sub-locations, by decade or by topics, not by photographer.
Second, the licensing problem, which is tied to each picture and not the category in question here. Uploader and Copyright holder genuinely appear to be the same. I just filed a batch deletion request with the hope that either Ali himself can change the metadata, or that an admin can do so on Ali's behalf once he consents to such a change. --Enyavar (talk) 13:27, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Seems the DR result is to keep the files. Category:Gilgit Valley exists, so it seems appropriate to have Category:Photographs of Gilgit Valley by Ali Mujtaba under it. I support the rename. Josh (talk) 00:40, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
