- Comment This photo is currently being considered for deletion at Commons:Deletion requests/Image:Salvador Dali A (Dali Atomicus) 09633u.jpg. Perhaps the nom should be suspended until the copyright status is resolved? --Pete Tillman (talk) 03:45, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
- Given that it's only one person claiming that, with everyone else pointing out that he's wrong, I think we can presume it's fine =) Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 04:21, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
- WP could host the picture anyway, based on the Library of Congress data, so even if commons deletes it (which seems unlikely) it could be moved here. pschemp | talk 14:46, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
- Support, assuming it really is PD. Halsman & Dali rock!
- One does wonder how they were able to toss the cats 28 times. Welder's gloves? Stuffed animals? --Pete Tillman (talk) 19:47, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
