If this template was added because you clicked "Mark for deletion" in the left menu (right when using Vector 2022 skin), please make sure that all necessary pages have been created. If they haven't been created after a few minutes, or if you added this template manually, you should complete these steps:
- Visit the deletion requests subpage and place the following code:

delete2|image=Files uploaded by Tisourcier|reason=These photos were taken in the 1950s in France in photo studios (mostly Harcourt), but there is not evidence that they were created / published on the year the description claims it was. Any photo published in 1954 or later is currently not in the French public domain (there are several in this DR), and any photo published in the 1950s that was not simultaneously published in the US is still copyrighted in the US. That the uploader invents the dates seems to be evident. For example,
Commons:Deletion requests/File:PierreRepp-1953.png is the cover of an EP published in 1955 and it was stated in the source link. The source link of
Commons:Deletion requests/File:MarinaVlady-1952-Harcourt.png clearly states the photo was taken in 1955. Some of the files in this DR give also good evidence made up dates.
File:CatherineLangeais-1954.png the back states the postcard was issued for an event on September 5, 1968. File:MaryMarquet-1953-Harcourt.png mentions the year 1965 on the back. File:Denys-deLaPatelliere-1951-Harcourt.png is from a eBay item that sells photos from 1955 until 1971. File:Caccia-Harcourt-1950-Harcourt.jpg is from an eBay item that says it was taken in the 1960s. File:JeanRichard-1953-Harcourt.png actually states it was taken 1949 (not included on this DR as it states when it was published).
All in all, there is no evidence that the date of publication are correct, the claimed ones make them either copyrighted in France or close to the limit, and there is no evidence they are in the public domain in the US even assuming the dates are correct. Following,
