Inclusion on the National Archives website does not make this PD. We need a better rationale than the one given. Geogene (talk) 18:30, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

We need something better than the source saying it's ok?:

Yeah, we do need something better than "The website says most of what's there is PD" which is the only licensing information available on the file page. Did you notice that that image over at NARA says "possible restrictions--copyright"? If you have better information then perhaps you should post it there on the file page.

Anyway, since this is a duplicate image I presume it's eligible for speedy deletion. The duplicate's license tag seems to be in order. Geogene (talk) 19:44, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
This file is not a duplicate of the file that you indicated, because this file has been uploaded in 2007, and the other file in 2011. Therefore,  Keep --Amitie 10g (talk) 20:05, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

 Keep Apparently, superseded images are not deleted. And since the uploader of this version has linked to a duplicate that has a valid license tag, I am withdrawing my delete nomination (and fixing this image's license tag). For future reference, note that statements like "most of these images are not copyrighted" is NOT equivalent to "all of these images are not copyrighted". Now I have to wonder how many copyrighted images from NARA are floating around Commons. But I'm satisfied that this is not one of them. Geogene (talk) 20:47, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
