This work appears to have been unpublished until now. I can't find any PD exemption it would fall under, so I believe it is under copyright. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 06:53, 7 October 2018 (UTC)
- @User:Pi.1415926535 it is a publication of a defunct company for its own promotional purposes as a presentation slide. Most of the content related to the HSRR does not exist online, so if that statement on it own is not satisfactory, there is nothing I can offer related to any content of the company.--Simtropolitan (talk) 14:34, 7 October 2018 (UTC)
- Delete this then. I don't have time to argue with people over the rights of an owner that has not existed for decades. It would just be easier to host on a third party site and link it to a fair-use than deal with this burdensome process.--Simtropolitan (talk) 14:54, 7 October 2018 (UTC)
- If it was a presentation slide that was ever published or publicly presented at that time, then we could keep it. Do you have any idea if it was ever shown to the public, or only for internal use? Pi.1415926535 (talk) 20:19, 7 October 2018 (UTC)
- I presume for public consumption but there is no detail on what the presentation context was. There are a series of these images that were displayed at one time, some are slides, some are photographs, some are literally photocopies glued to poster board. All are in a series of boxes and folders at the Holyoke Public Library and Wistariahurst but without any concrete information about when and where they were used. As an aside the South Hadley Library assumed the legal onus for what they had for the Water Power Company as CC-BY-3.0, but no one can or will ever be able to verify the rights of their collections either as none of these details originate with the parent company. Not speaking for any institution officially but besides anything in the LOC, that's the material that we have to work with. What do you make of this? If you feel this will be an issue, I've already got it set up as a fair-use w/ external.--Simtropolitan (talk) 14:41, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
- Hmm, that sounds reasonably convincing that it was actually publicly shown during the era of publication. I'm fine with keeping the file. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 19:14, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
- Thank you. I will try to provide any additional information I can as well if by any chance it becomes available.--Simtropolitan (talk) 20:26, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

Deleted: COM:EVID requires that "In all cases the uploader must provide appropriate evidence to demonstrate either that the file is in the public domain". Speculation and conjecture based on a melange of boxed objects in a library is not appropriate evidence. Source media of a photo-negative as opposed to, for example, a developed photo is not suggestive of presentation for public consumption. --Эlcobbola talk 16:45, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
