Example of Somuk's work

... that the themes of Somuk's artwork (example pictured) range from the bombing of his island during World War II to the origin of trees and plants?

(2) Nature Sciences Sociétés: "Dessin par Somuk, de Buka aux Iles Salomon, représentant l’origine des arbres et des plantes et leur relation aux généologies humaines"

Hook is good and checks out, article is well-written and doesn't have any signs of copyright violation. My only concern is that the image might not actually be PD in the US - they're certainly PD in Papua New Guinea, but I don't think they were PD early enough for Template:PD-URAA to apply.

I've started a discussion on the copyright status of Somuk's artwork at Commons:Deletion requests/Artwork by Somuk (ITBF has been notified at Commons, but just in case @Generalissima: wants to participate). Concurring with Generalissima that this looks well-sourced, new enough, long enough, etc. and the QPQ is done. IMO the copyright worries are well-founded, but the hook can probably run without the image. Best, Tenpop421 (talk) 17:12, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@ITBF, Generalissima, and Tenpop421: As the nomination will time out next week and there doesn't seem to be any real issues, can this be given a tick so it can run, albeit without the image? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 03:18, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

but probably best not to promote before the deletion request is resolved. Tenpop421 (talk) 03:20, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
