Do not remove this tag until the deletion nomination is closed.
Reason for the nomination:
The uploader gives this reason about why they consider this painting is in the public domain: "The Painting is dated around the Time Selassie was granted the order of the garter which was in 1954, likewise this work seems to be painted by Edward Copnall during that ceremony, and under UK law anything created before 1957 is in the Public domain according to "Copyright Act 1956"." However, they give the PD-Art (PD-old-70) license tag, when the author in fact died less than 70 years ago, in 1973. The expiration per the Copyright Act 1956 seems to be similar to the first clause of the PD-UKGov license tag (with the difference that the cited clause applies only for photographs), however, there is no evidence this painting was created under a commission of the British Government, so it looks like the standard term applies here (70 years from the author's death). However, verification should be needed to confirm this.

የፈቃድ አይነት፦
This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domainPublic domainfalsefalse
The author died in 1973, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 50 years or fewer.
You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States. Note that this work might not be in the public domain in countries that do not apply the rule of the shorter term and have copyright terms longer than life of the author plus 50 years. In particular, Mexico is 100 years, Jamaica is 95 years, Colombia is 80 years, Guatemala and Samoa are 75 years, Switzerland and the United States are 70 years, and Venezuela is 60 years.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain". This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
