  • Oof, I just looked through the EXIF data and the original uploader's talk page, and I'm worried you may be right. The only other message is a previous upload of a different headshot of David, which was deleted as a copyvio. I did run the original image through Google reverse image-search both before cropping and before posting here, but didn't see anything that was labeled as other than an PR photo (which are frequently released into CC by the uploader and put on political BLPs here, and which the tag seemed to indicate) or alternatively a reference to the WP credit itself. Still, if we have reason to believe it's copyrighted by AP and not CC via HRC, then it's worth deleting. (Feeling an insane emotion swing right now to go from posting an FPC to proposing deleting the whole thing.) AllegedlyHuman (talk) 07:07, 25 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
