This file was initially tagged by আফতাবুজ্জামান as Copyvio (copyvio) and the most recent rationale was: This file is from https://loksabhaph.nic.in and nowhere in the site says "this file is under GODL-India" (We cannot assume). https://loksabhaph.nic.in/Copyright.aspx?linkid=1 says "All copyrights are reserved with the Lok Sabha Secretariat".

keep unless there are more reasons to deleteI confirm that the website says one thing about copyright, but the national policy for Indian government is summarized for Wikipedia in {{GODL-India}}. If this and similar are copyvio then run them through deletion for discussion, not speedy deletion.
- I am not surprised that there are multiple Indian government statements which conflict with each other. One says that there is appropriate licensing and one does not. The permission for reuse is in an official edict published by the government; the warning not to use is anonymously written and ambiguous text on a website page.

- Keep and Comment: If we go by that yardstick, almost all files uploaded under GODL-India will become copyvivo. GODL India clearly mentions about all Government documents, files, photos, etc. published in public domain, and this qualifies the said standard easily. About the copyright notice, it is a standard practice of web design which is overwritten by the aforementioned act of parliament.
- @Bluerasberry Also, File:Maurya, Dr. Sanghamitra.jpg has been deleted by the same standard, can you please look into that so I can try to contend its deletion. Thanks, User4edits (talk) 06:20, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

A member desirous of reproducing any material from the Lok Sabha Debates or even his own speeches is required to seek formal permission from the Speaker giving specific details of the matter to be reproduced. The copyright matters are examined by the Editorial Branch."
It is a very straightforward NC license. The situation here is that the Executive Branch says that everything is under GODL-India while the Legislative Branch says that all of its works are NC. I think we must assume that the Legislative Branch is within its rights to do so. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:21, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
- @Jameslwoodward: I changed my mind, and now think I was in error. Delete Previously I thought that the copyright claim was casually written, maybe by a webmaster or copywriter, but now I think I was entirely wrong. This is a specific copyright assertion which is thoughtful and incompatible with Wikimedia Commons. Bluerasberry (talk) 13:53, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
Deleted: per nomination, discussion and my own previous research (because of other DRs) concluding that Lokh Sabha images are not under GODL. --Rosenzweig τ 12:39, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
