File:2023 Kremlin drone attack.webm

[edit]

Per Commons:Village_pump/Copyright#File:2023_Kremlin_drone_attack.webm, this appears to not actually have been taken by an automatic camera (or, if it was, there is significant doubt about it). As such, this should be deleted for lacking evidence that the file is indeed in the public domain in its source country (and, consequently, the United States). — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 04:29, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The video was most likely taken with a hand held video camera due to the movement of the picture. It is highly unlikely that it was taken with a CCTV.
However, the video was most likely released by the Russian government to support its claim of a drone attack on the Kremlin. It is also the best video of this attack. The Wikipedia video is the best video easily available to the general public. To remove it would do a real disservice to the public.
The video has appeared on every major, and minor, news site. The only attribution that I recall is that it was released by the Russian government.
Before removing this video, I strongly encourage Wikipedia to find the owner of the video, if one can be found. If it was released by the Russian government, they usually put their videos in the public domain. The first place to check is Kremlin.ru. They should have this video. They also should have something somewhere about being in the public domain. 2603:8081:4900:55C6:BC08:158C:A175:4B37 11:06, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 Keep It appears to be a handheld recording of an automatic security camera. The underlying recording is PD-RU-exempt-autocam and there is no copyright created in the handheld recording, because it is a mechanical recording of 2D media. Streamline8988 (talk) 17:49, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

How does one have a handheld recording of something that is also an automated security camera? Either it is handheld, and was created by a person, or it was an automated security camera. It can't be both. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 01:49, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It's a handheld recording of a screen playing a video filmed by a security camera. You can tell this because you can see the reflection of someone moving around on the right side of the video. It's a video of a video. Streamline8988 (talk) 05:06, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
 Delete No source. Simple as that. —holly {chat} 23:13, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted: I agree with Holly, this file needs a source. If it can be proven that this is raw CCTV footage, it can be restored. --Abzeronow (talk) 17:43, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
