Subject is now correctly identified, and files recategorised to Category:Nikolay Sobolev. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 00:35, 27 June 2018 (UTC)
Whereas the photo is used in an article and in a Wikidata item about a diplomat born in 1924 it is clearly not a diplomat depicted (the guy on the photo is around 30, and there is no way a Soviet diplomat in the 1950s would be dressed like this). Therefore, this is an unused personal image and must be deleted. Ymblanter (talk) 14:28, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
- If it gets deleted, the category becomes empty and up to speedy deletion.--Ymblanter (talk) 14:29, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
- Pinging @Aka: as the person that added it to the dewp article, and @Sobolevv: as the original uploader. I have no comments myself on this, except to say that I'm happy for the category to be speedy deleted if it does become empty. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 13:45, 17 June 2018 (UTC)
- This deletion rationale seems strange. I think the guy looks closer to 20 than to 30, but sure: Let's say that he's 30 years old in this picture. That means that it's 1954. For most of the 1950s, Sobolev ran a youth organization. (He didn't become a diplomat until 1964, when he was 40 years old.) Why would you expect the head of a youth organization to dress like a Soviet diplomat? And even if you thought that the head of a youth org didn't find it appropriate to be dressed like a fashionable young man, then who says that he has to dress for work round the clock and that he couldn't ever get a photo made for personal use? I think it far more plausible to guess that the photo was uploaded by one of his family members than to say that it can't be him because an editor thinks that he's not dressed for a job that he didn't have at that time.

- I do not expect. I KNOW how the head of the Komsomol would be dressed in the 1950s. It was just not possible to find a pink jacket, and, if by any chance he succeeded to find one, he would be expelled from the Komsomol the next day. The natural explanation is that someone who has the same name but is completely unrelated to the diplomat uploaded his own personal photo, and someone else erroneously added it to the German Wikipedia article.--Ymblanter (talk) 19:08, 22 June 2018 (UTC)
- You're ignoring the fact that this image was uploaded as "own work" by User:Sobolevv with the only description being "sobolev face". Furthermore, that user's only other upload was File:Youtube Sobolev Bloger Russian Lifeyoutube.jpg. That immediately tells me that this very likely a self-portrait of the uploader, a Russian Youtuber, not the notable Sobolev. --Ahecht (TALK
