This file might
NOT
be in the public domain
.
It was previously considered to be in the public domain because it is a scan (or similar) by the Bibliotheque Nationale de France, but not everything scanned by the BNF is automatically in the public domain.
It is
possible
that this file is in the public domain for other reasons, for example because it was published a long time ago (anything before ca. 1900 is most likely ok) or because its author / artist / photographer died over 70 years ago
and
it was published over 95 years ago. In such cases, a new rationale should be applied, and a different license tag (see
Commons:Licensing
and valid license tags at
Commons:Copyright tags
) should be used.
If the file is
not
found to be in the public domain, it might be nominated for deletion (
NOT
by any automatic process, but manually).
See below for the previous rationale (not applicable anymore).
